[But it's valuable information. Piecing together this with the things Bill said, things Tess said, he's starting to get the full picture, or close to it. After a moment's consideration, he decides to give Rawne some explanation why he's asking.]
I might go searching for other mysterious empty rooms on the ship, and I want to know what to avoid doing. Creating a mirror temporal fracture is now on the top of my list of things to avoid doing.
[Larry said that Norton could tell Rawne about the plan, so he doesn't need to pause and think about what he's at liberty to say or be cautious with how much he reveals. He can just tell the truth.]
Larry needs somewhere better than a cell in Zero to escape his radiation once in a while. I thought that perhaps we could replicate something like the Brew, only instead of a speakeasy, it would be a power nullification room that can only be accessed by the person who has the key.
I've been sleeping with him. On and off. [Norton blurts out.]
I just...thought you should know. I'm attempting to practice honesty. Which, come to think of it, I should probably offer to tell you about the other people I've slept with as well, if I'm being honest and open, but most of the rest were only once or twice, nothing more. [And Norton might not remember them all, which is a little alarming now that he's thinking about it.]
Oh, except Pagan, I slept with Pagan multiple times, but that's over now and these days we're purely platonic.
He mentioned that you talked, and you told him you wouldn't mind. I don't usually have these sorts of conversations unless there's someone I specifically object to.
So...is there anyone you'd specifically object to?

[He's been aware Norton sleeps with other people. He doesn't particularly care.]
But. Um. I don't mind if you do whatever with Larry. He's cool.
[And Rawne thinks Norton's crush on him is cute. If they're actually acting on things instead of awkwardly pining or whatever, all the better.]

No one who's here now, no.

Date: 2021-06-21 06:50 am (UTC)[And now Norton will be very pleased with himself for having attempted, and in his mind succeeded quite nicely, at some openness and honesty.]
By the by, the only person I'd veto for you is Quill, but I seriously doubt that was ever on the cards anyway.
