[tumang]

i had sex with clara.

[donkeyballs]

[ And here he was worried this was going to be a bad conversation. ]

What, seriously?

Alright first - How the hell do you do that

and second

what was it like?

[tumang]

didn't think i'd have to explain how, you got a kid, surely you know how it works

it was good, man, orgasms happened, it was sex
what did you expect?

[donkeyballs]

I meant how the hell do you just exist in a place and get laid by blinking.

No I mean - she uh - she doesn't have a pulse, right? Her blood doesn't work properly, so....?

[tumang]

there was a spark, we acted on it

yeah, i don't know either
she could have been faking it i guess
but she wasn't faking how wet she got

[ shrug emoji ]

[donkeyballs]

Sometimes I envy how the world works for you.

[ Christ, Amos. Things to never mention to Clara, apparently. ]

Well that's

There'd be no reason to fake it, anyway, right? If she couldn't feel anythin', why bother in the first place?

[ Just gonna gloss over the 'wet' comment. ]

[tumang]

no, you don't

[ Considering how he has to force himself not to let his mind think back of how sex was used as a weapon against him in the past, how for 10 years he could barely get an erection at all, how he's had to push all of it to a part of his brain he's making himself disconnect from every day - no. ]

that's what i thought
she was a willing participant
i had an excellent time
she didn't even want me to stay, it was perfect

[donkeyballs]

[ He frowned a little, at the first part - but something stopped him from arguing the point.

He could still hear his own voice, sometimes, hoarsely: What happened to you?

So yeah, he did envy the way that things just seemed to be easier for Amos, sometimes. But he got the warning not to hammer the point home. ]

Sounds like you found your ideal situation, partner.

Though I'd kind of thought you were [ He paused. How did he put this? ]

Kind of thought you already had somethin' going on.

[tumang]

[ If you asked Amos, he'd say Alex is the only one making it hard for himself. He could get laid just as easily as Amos did, he just didn't actually want to. ]

something going on? with who?
the whole flirting with bobbie thing is just a joke, man

[donkeyballs]

No, I know that. [ He couldn't even bring himself to be worried about it, not like he sometimes was about other people. No. That wasn't what he meant.

But he wasn't quite sure how to actually ask what he meant.

So uh.

Round-about route, maybe. ]

You tell Prax about this?

[tumang]

should i?
i mean, he and i are friends, but i don't think that's the kind of shit he wants to hear

you're a gossip, you want to know everything

[donkeyballs]

[ Damn. Okay, how to handle this gently... ]

No, I wouldn't tell 'im.

Though I wouldn't lie to him about it, either. Just, uh -

You know what, never mind. It ain't any of my business.



I just like knowin' what's goin' on, that's all.

Glad you two could have a good time.

Don't get enough of that in this damn place.

[tumang]

what are you talking about, alex?

[ Is Alex hinting that Prax somehow matters more to Amos, in some way? He's not mentioned Naomi. He hasn't mentioned anyone else. So.

Prax.

Yeah, Amos is not touching that one. Not here, not now. ]

i know you do
i'm being a good friend and telling you
also that way you can't go betting on me

and yeah, it was hot

[donkeyballs]

Probably nothin'. Don't worry about it.

Just not sure he'd really want to hear about it.



You say that like I didn't already have a bet on that one.

She's been eyein' you up from day one.

I bet. Even with the weird blood thing.

[tumang]

[ Amos is just going to... stop thinking about this. ]

really?
i mean she didn't really make it a secret
who were you betting with?

[donkeyballs]

With myself and the shadow of you that I pretend to make bets with when I ain't got no one else to bet with.

So far I win every time.

[tumang]

wow, alex, that's so sad

what about miller?

[donkeyballs]

Tryin' to be friends with him is a special kind of dance - gotta back off more often than you reach out.

Plus with the whole Julie thing-

Yeah probably not gonna be talkin' to him about other people's escapades for a while.
