"I was being a smartass. But yeah, I did get that impression. The look on his face when I opened the door, the things you said."
He paused, considering.
"The things he said. And, you know, I think about sex all the time anyway."
Aryol shrugged, and met the major's gaze, clearly, and directly.
"I might be young, but I'm not naive about things like that. I know you had a life before you met me. I'm not going to say something like I don't care what you do, because I do care. But it also doesn't change the way I feel."
The major's body language had closed up, straightened shoulders, crossed arms. Aryol reached out and laid a hand on his wrist.
"You're not going home with him. You're going home with me. And right now, where we are, considering we just met, what, ten days ago, I don't expect more than that."
He cocked his head, curiously.
"But if you want to tell me the story, I'll listen."
