I'm really really really sorry. It was a curse and I like you but I have a boyfriend. And it's true that he's not here, but I still love him and it would be wrong to betray that. So thank you for... not.

I am in a monogamous relationship. I am not interested in having sex with anybody. It was a

Teddy. Ted. Just relax, okay. I understand completely-- you're not the first person on the planet to have something you can't help working against your impulse control.

I'm sure Wiccan will understand, too. You're good kids.

I'd tell him right now if I could. It makes it worse to think that I don't know how he'll react and.

And I ended up sleeping with Nate after I left your place.

[alittlecredit]

Okay. Wow. Heavy. That was...unexpected, and I'm really sorry something like that happened to you. But I know he'll understand, because-- why wouldn't he? I mean, in the line of work you guys can do.

Just. Think of it this way-- you weren't in control of yourself, but all you did is share some moments of pleasure with someone I hope you generally trust.

So you lost control. You didn't kill anyone. You didn't hurt yourself. That's the important thing.

[politehulk]

You're right, and I do trust Nate. He was just trying to help. But I still feel guilty.

[alittlecredit]

I don't think you should feel guilty. I really don't. But maybe you need to and maybe that's your way of forgiving yourself, in which case-- as long as you forgive yourself at the end of the day, some day.

I'm just not a feeling guilty type of person myself, I guess. But look. I understood where you were coming from, and I also know you're an upstanding guy. So no hard feelings from not-guilty me.

[politehulk]

I'm glad you're not upset, at least. Thank you.

I don't know if I should ask, so you don't have to answer, but... did you actually mean what you said about... 'different circumstances'?

I've got better things to be upset about than giving me a kiss or two, Teddy.

Anyway. Yeah. I did, but it's not like I want it to make you uncomfortable now, it's not like I'm going to do anything about it. It's just, you know, I had my fill of bad girls and semi-evil people and pheromone-producing aliens and sociopath kleptos who date Sabretooth and stuff when I was younger.

I like nice, polite people with guilt complexes these days. So yeah.

[politehulk]

Okay. Wow. I just wanted to know. Thanks and - sorry, I guess.

private; he's sorry he's a weirdo teddy

[alittlecredit]

Don't apologize. It's a good feeling. Knowing there's two people in my former line of work in a decent, functional, happy relationship out there.

private; teddy likes him its okay

[politehulk]

Not so functional any more, maybe. And really only two?
