You've reached Chris Sonom, previously of Melvaunt Deismyr, please leave a message.
If I invited you over to make use of your mouth, I wouldn't be cooking.
[ He's a little caught off guard by that statement but only in a way that actually makes him laugh. This guy is... a lot more than he appears, in several ways. The wicked sense of humor is a nice surprise. ]
Let me feed you the food, first. Then we can discuss the rest.

[He shrugs.]
I dunno what you're into. Grew up in a brothel, lotsa people into lotsa things.
[But the smile and humor in his voice give away that he definitely doesn't think Crais is into anything he might be implying.
Teasing was just a fun pastime.]
I'm all yours, what's on the menu, then?
[He'll follow Crais into the kitchen and waste no time in ploping himself up on the countertop.]

I have someone who's been recommended to me to help with our campaign against the city's lies on designation switches.
Do you know James Kirk?
He's another Dom.

Met him not too long ago, actually. He seems a good one.
So he might be interested in helping us? He’s in good standing, to your knowledge?

I haven't spoken with him about it, yet, but Dr. McCoy recommended him.
I can't say I trust McCoy fully, but from what I know of Kirk, he'd be fine.
He actually owns the shop my first contract partner started here.
He hasn't run it into the ground, so that's something.
I don't think he's had any citations recently?
But we're not especially close.

Dr. McCoy, huh?
[He remembers that name too from the discussion of the room, and not as fondly.]
Alright, I’ll talk to him, he’ll need to know the risks.
Do you want to be part of the conversation or as far as possible for association?

He wants to be my friend, apparently.
I think this is his way of helping, at least.
[So, there's... that.]
As for Kirk, I don't mind being part of the conversation if you think it would actually help.

I see.
[Not his place, Jon’s his own keeper and who he thinks is worth friendship is his own business. Even if it sits ill in him.]
I think this is your project and I’ve no interest in closing the door on you unless your hand’s on the handle to do so.
I’ll arrange it, find a place and time, just need word on headcount.

[Jon can feel the disapproval through the text.]
I've told him in no uncertain terms that we aren't friends, and him acting like we are was a problem.
He's backed off since then.
This was the first thing he's contacted me about since that conversation.
[...]
And if you don't think I'll be a detriment, I'd like to be present for the discussion.

[Huh…that actually puts a bit of a smile on his face.]
Don’t think it’ll be a detriment; I want your thoughts too.
Proud of you, though. That’s a tough line to hold for a lot of people.
[And considering what Jon had said last time…]
Hope he keeps listening.

I'm not actually friendly, Chris.
It wasn't that difficult.
[Being a rude bastard at people? He was born for that. Granted, the conversation with McCoy had been a lot more emotionally tense than that with an attempt not to rake him too hard over the coals. But still!]

I know it. you’re a right pain.
[And he likes it.]
Keep it up.
Now then. Two days. Thinking Guiltea.
[And he likes it.]

[Jon's mostly been to Honestea, but he supposes... downstairs would be better for secrecy.]
Provided nothing weird goes on down there, that's fine. I've not been.

Only been twice myself and once for a punishment for me.
[And he hadn't really been back since, but this seemed like the kind of thing to stow in a corner there.]
Can't promise there won't be weird around, but we can find a quiet corner and keep our heads down, no one's gonna come looking or ask questions.

All right.
I'll leave it to you, then, and be there when we need to be.

[ He doesn't think Crais might be into... oral sex? Because Crais is absolutely into having his dick sucked, thank you.
He moves to grab a dishtowel to pull a pan out of the oven, and set it on top of the stove. ]
Potatoes with gravy. It's cheese short of being poutine, but cheese and I have a questionable relationship. Grew up in a brothel?

[The fuck’s poutine? Well, potatoes with cheese, he supposes.]
Sounds wonderful. But, yeah…“Swallow’s Charm” was home sweet home from the age of four to twenty-two.

[ Given their wildly different time periods and realities their confusion over things is strangely similar. Crais enjoys the food aspects of that confusion though.
He gets busy plating up the fries and gravy and finding forks. ]
I'd like to be surprised or appalled but we had children born and growing up on Command Carriers - military ships. I'll settle for concerned.

[Theres a surge of defensiveness in him that he quickly tamps down on. Other brothels certainly had such practices and Chris hadn’t been specific, it’s not Crais’ fault.]
Ah..well, valid feelings, but they’re not needed on my behalf, I didn’t do much work there until I was sixteen-on and even then, only man I bedded was one I picked, wasn’t allowed on the menu otherwise.
My official title was ‘companion’ when I had skirts about me, I gave people company and listened to their stories and woes. When I shed the skirts, turned more to security.
[He shakes his head]
Lady Ivaline woulda skinned anyone who so looked at me. She took me in to protect me from those who wanted a child dead.

that is definitely better than starting to train children to kill people when they're five.
[ He just accepts what he's told. He knows nothing about most people's world's here so what he's told is... what is. It's freeing in some ways.
Meanwhile he hands Chris his prepared plate of food and plates his own up. Yeah Chris, go ahead and eat on the counter. He'll settle in beside you shortly.]

No, that’d be my twin.
[He takes the food, yes on the counter, with a small ‘thank you’ and happily takes a bite of fries with gravy. Great use of fries or chips or whatever they’re called, honestly.]
She was taken in by an assassin group and raised for one. We each had our role to play.
[Even if it had taken time for Chris to fall into his.]
Were you one of those children you mention, born into such a life?

Role to play.
[ Echoed blandly, but not with judgement. He might resent those implications a little but that's not about Chris or his sibling, it's his own shit coming out to play.
Speaking of. ]
No.
[ He takes a bite, and then elaborates. ]
My brother and I were part of a handful of conscripts when I was in my early teens. I spent most of my actual childhood in an agricultural community.

[Chris is patient for the explanation, happy to busy himself with his own food.
Crais says agriculture and for a moment, there's an almost starry look in his eye at the thought. Farming and ranching were a novelty, Melvaunt's ground wasn't rich enough to support either, which was why so many people were fishermen or manufacturers or soldiers. There was something charming to the idea of working with the land like that, even if Chris had only ever picked up one of those little hand trowels because Chastity had shoved it at him.
Then the rest registers, particularly 'conscript' and Chris' eyes narrow a moment.]
So you and he were still forced into the war, just not from birth.
[Was it better or worse to not know another life? He supposes he wouldn't know.]
Were you able to stay together, at least?

[ Common misunderstanding he should have anticipated. He's still not used to sanity in these things, but- ]
No war. Not of our own. We were effectively a very large mercenary group, to which most were born to, some where conscripted to, and almost no one voluntarily joined. We fought wars for the highest bidder.
And yes, Tauvo and I stayed together.
