Need a thread with Don, but don't have a post for it and don't feel like starting one? Stick it here. Please note date, time of day, location, and any relevant circumstances.

[There was another reason he was here. He traces his way back through the conversation...]

[Oh yes.]

Are you feeling any better?

[semper_cogitans]

A... A little. [Admittedly. Even if the fact that he dumped his feelings out at Don's feet hasn't helped his mood much.]

Th-thank you for... for helping me.

And for... listening.

[i_speak_softly]

[He nods, then looks down at the chessboard. Whose turn was it?]

Do you want to finish this?

[semper_cogitans]

...

... [Awkwardly:] ... I am... not even certain whose turn it is, now.

[Probably because he lost track somewhere in that emo blob back there.]

[i_speak_softly]

[Nope, can't remember.]

Never mind. [He pokes his king, knocking it over.] You were going to win anyway.

[semper_cogitans]

We will... n-need to play again sometime. [Robert manages a gentle smile.] I... always enjoy spending time with you...

[i_speak_softly]

[An uncomfortable pause, then, very softly:] I... think I should go...

[semper_cogitans]

Robert cringes a little, pulling his hands in against his chest as though the words physically pain him.

But... he's never one to deny Don something.]

O-Of... of course.

...

... T-Take care...? If... if you need anything... [He lets it hang. Don probably won't need anything anyway.]

[Don, similarly hunched, gets up and moves out of the room. It will take his winter-slow brain a while to process everything that just happened.]
