["I've been demoted and now I'm sad and have a laundry list of bad decisions to make."]
Do you--
Are you okay with this? Do you--
[Why does this still feel like trying to read tealeaves?]
Do you think you're going to be unhappy, or uncomfortable, if we do this?
[It's as direct a question as Rhys can think of to ask. Is Elijah sucking up his feelings because he thinks it's good for Rhys, or does he genuinely not care?]
I would expect the arrangement to be mutual, not that I exactly have a line
of potential lovers waiting outside my cabin. But no. I wouldn't be
unhappy.
When I was Hux's warden he kinda-- I don't remember the exact phrasing, but he sent a pretty loud message to me about exactly what he thought should happen to my inmate.
And that if I didn't keep him in line then someone else would.
I guess-- a whole lot of being here is about trying to do the impossible.
I know this is probably a stupid thing to offer considering... Well, considering where I'm at right now, but if I can ever help in any way, hit me up, okay? I'm not going anywhere.

[look if he knows anything about you it's that you would get a hard-on for your own murderer]
We can be boyfriends. And we can be non-exclusive if that's what you need.

Re: Voice
Should we have-- I feel like we should make ground rules?
Like, the obvious ones are condoms, testing--
How much do you want to share about this? Like, do we tell each other everything, or do you want to just keep it totally separate?
Re: Voice
I think those are reasonable grounds rules. I'd like...
[Hm.]
I'd like to know that something has happened, but not the details.
Re: Voice
And I figure-- veto rule. If someone from home, or whatever, shows up and it's a hard no right from the off, then we just communicate that, yeah?
Re: Voice
Yes to names, and yes to a veto. Although I can't imagine anyone from my home I'd discourage you from...engaging with.
Re: Voice
I guess it's also-- if there's anyone on board right now you really don't want me to go with?
Re: Voice
Right now? No. I - haven't really been in the business of making enemies.
Re: Voice
I don't think any of my enemies would treat you bad if you took them to bed.
Re: Voice
...Who exactly are your enemies, on board?
Re: Voice
[Without missing a beat.]
Not super hot on Ford Pines right now, but that's more of a bro code thing.
Re: Voice
...Hm.
What do you have against Fives?

Re: Voice
I see.
Well, I don't find him attractive regardless.
Re: Voice
But people keep marrying him. It's weird.
Re: Voice
There's no accounting for taste, I suppose.
Re: Voice
How are you getting on with Jasper?
Re: Voice
We dated during the breach. I'm still alive.
[Yeah, just that well.]
Re: Voice
You're batting two for two, maybe that means she likes you?
Re: Voice
I don't even think she understands the concept of 'like'.
Re: Voice
Re: Voice
I honestly think it would be like asking a fish to conceptualise the sky, at this point. But I'm prepared for this to take as long as it has to.

Re: Voice
It's not a stupid offer, Rhys. Thank you.
