155th Devotion: Being an Honest Man

[Solomon's hand withdraws from activating his network device and he gives whatever audience he has a hesitant smile.]

My brother wishes for me to make new friends. It isn't as if I haven't made any in the past, I've had some very good ones. It's just that they leave so quickly...

Still, I suppose I should get back into the practice of it, and it is what Nathan wishes. So would anyone care to join me for some tea and conversation?


[ooc: Solomon has the joy of being cursed with 'I Cannot Tell a Lie'. What better way to start or discourage a friendship than with open disclosure?]

Comments

[favoritetraitor]

That he hasn't spoken to you in months... [And here he sighs, knowing that it's a bit pointless to fight it.]

[manyadenouement]

Which is completely true. Also, it has nothing to do with anything.

[favoritetraitor]

It doesn't?

[manyadenouement]

Of course not. I enjoy the lack of contact with someone who lacks intelligence.

[favoritetraitor]

There's no reason for you two to speak if you find it unpleasant, that's true.

[manyadenouement]

Did he say anything else?

[favoritetraitor]

Yes... although not very much at this point. [Totally true.]

[manyadenouement]

Clever. [He means you answering like that, little brother. But he's lived longer than you.]

What has he said?

[favoritetraitor]

... that he isn't surprised that I'm the focus of your attention now that your 'boy-toy' has left. [And oh, does he wish he could have curbed that phrase to something more diplomatic.]

[manyadenouement]

[He actually bursts out laughing. No really, he can't stop. This is so ridiculous that he can't even stop laughing right away.]

[manyadenouement]

Seriously? Oh, Solomon, if he thinks that then he's more of an idiot than I imagined!

[favoritetraitor]

He can't be blamed for not understanding our family dynamic. I'm not the most forthcoming when it comes to our privacy.

[manyadenouement]

Oh I can blame him for many things. This is why I want this foolish relationship you have with him to end.

[favoritetraitor]

You don't blame me?

[manyadenouement]

For being blind? You're always like that though. That is why you have me.

[favoritetraitor]

Always? Isn't that a bit of an overstatement?

[manyadenouement]

Not even a little bit.

[favoritetraitor]

That seems unfair. I've proven myself many times over.

[manyadenouement]

I say it out of love.
