I did say that, yes. Sorry. I was afraid he'd feel pressured if I had been to come along.

[ He's hyper-aware of how dependent on him this city would like Ray to be, and how little choice it will afford him by default, so he's trying really hard to be conscious of anything he might do to unduly influence him or take accidental advantage of the roles the city has placed them in, respectively. He's probably overcompensating a little. ]

Pressured in what way?

[ to do? to not do? she's genuinely curious. ]

[understood]

To say yes.

[toplieutenant]

What is it you thought he may be pressured to say yes to, Fraser?

[ There follows, unsurprisingly, several minutes of typing/not typing. ]

I asked him for permission to sleep with you, preferably with him involved as well.

[toplieutenant]

And you thought if you were there he may have felt pressured to say yes to that right then?

[understood]

Yes. I may have been overthinking it. I just wanted you to both be able to get an impression of each other without me hovering around.

[toplieutenant]

You want me there with both of you?

[understood]

[ typing, not typing. typing, not typing. ]

I'd like that very much. I'm sorry if I misinterpreted our conversation before, though, and it's not something you're interested in.

[toplieutenant]

No misinterpretation, Mr Fraser, I simply want you to know what you're agreeing to.

[understood]

Ray is "on board" as well.

[toplieutenant]

I have a bed large enough for all of us.

[understood]

Should we set a date?

[toplieutenant]

Perhaps the two of you pick one and I'll arrange to have you over.

[understood]

As you wish.
