For every joy, there is a price to be paid.
The only thing that is humiliating is helplessness.
ABASI
"Of course. It is a part of the 'courtship' we agreed to, I would imagine." These words were accompanied by a small half-smile.
The smile faded into a thoughtful expression as Loren listed out two more things. Both stories he would have liked to have known, but Abasi tried his best to breath out the rising frustration inside him. He'd started this from a place of compassion and as difficult as it was for him, he was determined to stay there...besides, again, Loren hadn't lied. Simply omitted some truths.
A curse from Frey, one involving as many orgasms as possible...his eyebrows raised so high Abasi likely looked a little comical. He was rather at a loss as for what to say. That Loren might still have some feelings for Remi did not concern him, as the man had not shown any intention to sleep with the married Alchemist and he had recently disappeared...so really, it was more of an odd tale than anything else, though one currently without an ending. "And...are you close to competing that goal? I must say, you have tried valiantly towards it with me." It was a joke, but also true enough.
The prospect of work in Halo was harder to swallow. Abasi so hated the cold, had just set himself up a life in the Hollowed Grounds, had begun to prepare their home...he let Loren take his hand, though his expression was troubled. "I did not think you had a good relationship with your brother? And...if I am being honest...I was hoping we could begin together the life we discussed. Me, working in the mortuary and you teaching - living together. It would get you away from your family and...that sounds like something you need, Loren."

If his heart rules him,
his conscience will soon take the place of the rod.
