Chwe Deg Pump: Blake's Harlot's and Virgins

[kinky_stopwatch]

[Private]

Every harlot was a virgin once. William Blake said that, funnily enough I can't imagine Jack as ever being inexperienced.

Strange I'd come here to avoid thinking of him, of all of them and I've failed miserably it's all I've been able to do all day. I'm not looking forward to February if this is what the run up is like.

Is anyone else a fan of Blake or Keats?

[Ianto is sat in the library with a poetry book in his lap, feel free to bother him and break him out of his maudlin mindset]

Sounds like him.

[shepherdsveritas]

Sounds like y'knew him well. How long were they 'ere?

[kinky_stopwatch]

A while, long enough to settle a little at least. He'd already been here a little when I met him.

I'm sorry he's not here to greet you but I hope you don't mind if I offer my assistance if you need anything.

[shepherdsveritas]

[He nods, smiling]

Thanks. 'snice to know we have allies here. We haven't quite got our shit t'gether, yet, but who knows what might happen, aye?

Sorry Friend is staying with me so it's the first time I've been able to get online :)

[kinky_stopwatch]

With this place we need all the allies we can get

No worries, hun. /hugs

[shepherdsveritas]

Aye. Been listenin' to th'journal since we got 'ere an we've been figurin' that out.

[kinky_stopwatch]

Well that's the best way to learn about the place, we've had a few close calls. However, people do some back on the whole. Admittedly it doesn't make death any more pleasant.

[shepherdsveritas]

[He frowns] When is death ever pleasant?

[kinky_stopwatch]

I don't know, I wouldn't mind going peacefully in my sleep.

[shepherdsveritas]

[He smiles slightly]

It'd be nice... though I don't know if Murph'n I'd be so lucky.

[kinky_stopwatch]

You might be, It did seem like Paul was looking out for you two.

[shepherdsveritas]

He did a bit, yeah. He tell y'what he did fer us?

[kinky_stopwatch]

A little yes. He's a good man. A little complicated but good.

[shepherdsveritas]

[He chuckles, smiling] That 'bout sums 'im up, aye.

[kinky_stopwatch]

[Smiles sadly]

He was very kind to me.

[shepherdsveritas]

[Give him a second to get used to the idea of Smecker being very kind to anyone. He nods

I'm glad the two've ya were friends. Can't imagine bein' here an' not havin' anyone at'all.

[kinky_stopwatch]

[Slight silence unsure how much they know about him before deciding that it probably didn't matter]

We were closer than that.

[shepherdsveritas]

[He'd never explicitly told them, but Connor had an idea. He raises an eyebrow] closer?

[kinky_stopwatch]

Yes...very close. It's probably the only reason that he'd told me about you two.

[shepherdsveritas]

[Waaaaaaaaait] How close is very close?

[kinky_stopwatch]

[Sighs]

I...we moved into the same room together.

[Slight pause]

The same bed.

[shepherdsveritas]

[Well, now. They'd suspected, of course, but suspecting and hearing about it outright are two different things. He nods, thinking. Though it's not something that he would do it's not his place to judge someone. That's for God to do, not him. Smecker was... is... a great man, the smartest he'd ever met. Knowing this about him doesn't change that.

After a moment he smiles.]

I'm glad th'two've ya were able t'find that, here. I'm sure not many people can say th'same. An', that bein' th'case, I'm more sorry he went home.

[kinky_stopwatch]

Well...this place likes to do that. Just be glad you're both here together.
