Ladies, Gents and Qubit:

If you happen to find neatly folded trousers tucked away in corners around the place, leave them alone.

It's important they stay where they are in case of emergencies.

If you take them and don't replace them I will know and you will regret it.

And if you do see a tall, naked, handsome man looking for said trousers: Do not touch.

Do not touch the trousers, or do not touch the man? ;)

[nothinglikefather]

Both. He's mine.

Oh! He is your beloved, then? That must be why you have set pants out for him. It can be very difficult to find yourself without clothing.

[Not that she would know, as she is an upright all the time and has definitely never turned into a bird monster and ripped all her clothes off. That's silly. No one would do that, especially not a normal upright like her.]

[nothinglikefather]

[ Having it said like that is strange and new. Maybe he's said similar words to Charles directly but having it recognised by a stranger is different.

Especially when in the time and place they're from, they could be executed for admitting as much.]

It's not like that! I mean. We're not... doing anything we shouldn't be.

[ He doesn't know anything about turning into bird monsters. Only about people who can turn into wolves. Or deer monsters. Or foxes.]

[birdical]

[This just in: Jacob knows more people who can turn into weird animals than any one man should. More news at the top of the hour.]

Of course not.

[Bless uprights and their often prudish natures. Thank goodness girlish giggles and birdlike warbles don't translate through text messages.]

But if you were enjoying the company of one another and found yourself without pants, I would recommend the spa. There are robes, baths, and very good beds. ❤️ 🍷 😉

[ Spa huh? Well, he's not sure if he can get Charles to go for it, but he'll try. Jacob is very happy to experiment and try something new, but Charles sometimes takes a little persuading. Still, if there's robes, and baths, and nice beds, then it's got to be worth a go?

Still, it's a little strange to discuss with someone else. ]

I'll remember that, if the need arises and we're nearby. Thanks.

[birdical]

I am happy to help!

[She'll also leave some pants there, just in case. Hope Charles likes Hot Topic fashion.]

[nothinglikefather]

I appreciate it. Although I'll probably appreciate it more after the fact.
