nate's back
you know
don't you?

[clayking]

I saw his message. Yes.
And then I learned he was in our home.
So.
Yes.
How do you feel?

[fireshow]

i don't know
i'm sort of waiting for him to disappear again
like alec did

[clayking]

This is the part where I tell if you wallow in that feeling, John.
You will miss the fact he's back at all.
We can't predict the future.
He still had my mark on him- He showed me. I didn't quite think it was him at first.

[fireshow]

i don't want to go through that again
that pain

[clayking]

You left and my world was shattered, John. For the second time since my wife passed.
So I do understand that hestiation.
But what did you feel when you saw him?
Be honest.

[fireshow]

that he'll be gone again

[clayking]

And you don't fear the same for me?
And do you think this feeling something that will...linger?
What if he doesn't leave? You might miss those moments with him that you crave.

[fireshow]

i'm not saying i'm not glad to see him
i'm just saying i don't trust this place

[clayking]

You'd be wise not too. This city has a thousand tricks and never fails to pull them.
Do you still have feelings for him?

[fireshow]

do you?

[clayking]

I told him I loved him literal days before he vanished, John.
I'm not sure I'm in a postion to say such things now, though I certainly had...trepidation at his return. Unsure if he was the witch I knew.
So.
I'm not sure.
Which is unusual for me.

[fireshow]

why do you think you might not?

[clayking]

Time, I suppose. A year is a long time. He experienced many things we did not. As did we.
And he just got back. I'm still waiting to see if we fit together like puzzle pieces as we once did.

[fireshow]

you still care about him
at least

[clayking]

I do.
You never answered my question.

[fireshow]

he was my first real friend ever
so yeah
i do

[clayking]

Hm, I suppose I should have assumed as such.

[fireshow]

does that bother you?

[clayking]

It did not bother me when you loved Alec, and it does not bother me now.
Would it bother you if I also loved him?

[fireshow]

i seem to recall being pissy that you did

[clayking]

You do wish to be my one and only, as you've often said.

[fireshow]

because i'm a greedy little shit
and trust me
i know how hypocritical of me that is

[clayking]

You are a mortal.
But I've always enjoyed that greed little shit side of you.
...So you might have an issue, is what you're saying.

[fireshow]

i don't know
it's been awhile
like you said
