[Ken, wearing a blue apron, is standing in what appears to be the stockroom of Nectar.]

So...

[He hesitates for a moment, gazing around himself apprehensively, clearly worried he might be overheard. When he turns back to the screen, he closes his eyes briefly and takes a deep breath, as if steeling himself for something.]

What would it take to make you decide you couldn't be yourself any more?

Fair enough.

You make a lot of mistakes then?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

This isn't something I'm thinking about because I wanna do it.

[alphaophiuchi]

My apologies. [he doesn't sound sincere.]

Someone you know?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[And that gets Ken bristling slightly. He doesn't like insincerity one bit. The guy's been polite enough so far so 'bristling slightly' is about as far as it goes, but... yeah. Hackles: up.]

Just a guy I know.

[alphaophiuchi]

[just one those things you get used to, Ken~]

Hm, fair enough. [topic change time!]

Have we been introduced yet?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Don't think so, who are you?

I'm Ken.

[alphaophiuchi]

Draco. Charmed, I'm sure. Especially after such a hypothetical conversation.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[Hackles: Up. Still.]

What's that supposed to mean?

[alphaophiuchi]

Not a thing. It was an interesting conversation.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Well, thanks for calling, Draco.

[This is genuine. Ken can appreciate that Draco didn't have to and no matter what the motives are, talking this stuff out at all is helpful.]

[alphaophiuchi]

You're welcome. [surprisingly, he's just as genuine. He'll never admit it, but it was just as useful to him. Giving a brief nod, he hangs up.]
