It’s called a joke.

Weird, you usually say the opposite.

“You are all attractive. You won’t have trouble finding /someone/ to screw.”

@gothamshadow.bsky.social thinking of you 😘

Not entirely true. Sleep with them if you want a homoerotic rivalry to develop.

“That literally is the same thing.”

“Lot of hoops you are all jumping through when you could just fuck your friends.”

You’re cute enough. Shouldn’t be too hard.

+ Deeper and deeper. Darker yet darker.

The equipment was picking up something straight ahead. The prey? Or a trap?

Khoa walked, hot breath bouncing back against his cheeks. Once again, he was thankful for the mask.

A predator knew how to stalk, to hunt, to kill. That went twofold; a predator knew when they were the hunter, and Ghost-Maker could tell that these tunnels weren’t as empty as they might seem.

The sewers are quiet, dark, and damp; just as foreboding and disgusting as the rest of this city.

“Nothing wrong with liking swords.”

Ha.

HA.

No.

That’s what I use too.

“I thought people liked masks.”

“Me. Next question.”

“Is it so wrong to make sure my old friend isn’t getting in over his head?

Good. You should.”

“Why? Want to keep an eye on me? Think I’m up to no good?

For shame, Bruce. Don’t you trust me?”

“But if you’re up for some… meditation later, I don’t mind helping you finally learn to properly relax.”

That got a smirk to slide onto his face. “And spoil the surprise? I’m working, and we’ll leave it at that.”

“Socializing and fraternization are very different.

I would test you, see if you truly are keeping up with your practicing… but honestly, I’m busy.”

“Oh, I’m sure he’s giving you plenty of… fuel.”

He tutted his tongue, shaking his head. “I thought you were above fraternization.”

“Like breakfast with that hunk?

I didn’t realize you had time for such things.”

“Bruce, Bruce, Bruce…

Seems like you’re slacking off again.”
