[Oh my god. Well, she certainly shares his world's Rosalind's penchant for drifting haphazardly between subjects as she pleases.]
Uhh thats a broad question. You made the first move. I mean I was into you from the second you started working with us but idk.
[He takes a moment to really think about the chain of events there. Why did he wait for Ros to take initiative? That's unlike him. He's never really considered it before.]
I didnt want to piss you off I guess. I liked working with you. We got along pretty well all things considered like we could fight but it wasn't personal you know? So many people take everything personally. So we went in more of a friendly direction than a casual fling direction and I didn't want to mess that up. Oh but yeah one day you just like told me to come to your bunk lol it was out of the blue and there wasn't much fanfare we just like had sex. It was awesome don't get me wrong I just didnt see it coming. And since it didn't suck and I didn't make it weird we started to repeat the experience. At least I'm assuming I didnt make it weird? You're like way particular about that you didnt want anyone to know what we were getting up to which honestly doesn't seem like a big deal to me but whatever you know? I'll keep that secret I don't care one way or the other so why not. It kept you happy lol. Plus sneaking around is kinda fun.
[That makes a surprising amount of sense. If she was in a world that was slightly less restrictive, if she'd found someone with whom she felt some sort of companionship, if she was in a world without Robert . . . yes, she could rather see herself taking someone so bluntly to bed. Sex isn't a necessity by any means, but it is enjoyable, especially with a partner with whom she can fight.
Hmm.]
I likely simply didn't want my reputation to be marred by anyone knowing anything so personal about me. God forbid I should have sex with anyone.
Honestly, though, he appreciates how straightforward she is about it. It'll be better to get these issues sorted before she moves in, won't it? At least they'll then know where they stand with each other.]
Uhh I mean the short answer is no? I'm not opposed to it for the record Im just not expecting it. Like hearing all this has gotta be weird for you.
It's . . . strange, yes. Not unfathomable with you, but strange. Though truthfully, This isn't the first time someone has told me they've known another version of me. It isn't even the first time they've had sex with me, actually, although that was . . .
Different.
[For starters, it was an alien, so. That was weird. Anyway.]
In any case. So long as you don't expect me to leap into your bed. I've had quite enough for that for the past six months.
I really really don't. Like I want to make that super clear just because the you I know was sleeping with me doesnt mean I assume we're heading down that road or that you like idk owe me that or something thats way gross. Actually there was another version of me here at some point so I can kind of relate. No one slept with me as far as I know but still its a weird position to be in so like I'm sorry. That youre dealing with that now. And that it's weird. Wait what do you mean not unfathomable with me?
I mean it isn't inconceivable, based upon what I know of you, gleaned from the few conversations we've had. You're intelligent, can hold your own in an argument, and taller than me. Three qualities to which I'm usually attracted.
"After all this"? Newt, I just came from a city where everyone was encouraged to sleep with one another, among other things. A little talk of you and I is nothing. Certainly not enough to keep me from moving in.
Well idk just like making sure. Sex is one thing and having a complicated relationship with someone because of weird alternate dimension stuff is another. But look Im a lot of things and shy is not one of them. You're not allowed to eat my pets though lol. I mean specimens. Oh btw some of the stuff in the house could be considered dangerous like the mimic kind of regularly tries to kill me so uh I'll show you how to deal with the lil shit.
Omfg please dont jump straight to killing it though I've manage to keep it alive for like a year thats so impressive. It can like turn into stuff though. It turns into a coffee mug all the time to try to tempt me into opening the cage.
It's smart but not that smart. It tends to copy stuff it seems me interacting with a lot. I did some experimenting with it. After a couple hours in the living room instead of its bedroom it started turning into my keyboard. That's fair like if it gets out and comes after you do what you gotta do just like it's not that hard to catch I've done it a bunch of times. But uhh lemme swing by the lab and grab the cart and then I'll be over. Remind me where you live?

[That's all he can manage for a solid couple of minutes.]
Those are good qualities to be attracted to. Like I mean same? Sans the height thing I guess.
[That aggressively doesn't matter but, uh, anyway.]
You still want to live with me after all this?
