No. Fascinatingly, we're still talking about me.

[ripher]

Is there something wrong with wanting to get to know you better, even after so long? We used to share everything.

[rehandle]

[ Oh. Okay Uno reverse. Give him a second to try and figure out the tone, but - ]

No. It's just an interesting entry point.

No pun intended.

[ripher]

I was hoping you would be a little more accomodating.

Pun likewise not intended.

[ .. Mostly. ]

[rehandle]

I'll get you that photo of the box later.

[ripher]

Promises, promises.

[rehandle]

Actually, since we're sharing, how about a look at the conversation that brought it to my door?

[ripher]

I thought we weren't kissing and telling.

[rehandle]

I'm not kissing and telling, but I also didn't impersonate me to have somebody else send a box of sex toys to my room. So there's some nuance at play.

[ripher]

[ Hm. Fine. He gets a screenshot of the first four texts, specifically cropped to only show those four. Pointedly: she started it. ]

It was a deeply affectionate impersonation, if that helps.

[rehandle]

[ Okay, he's laughing. You don't think it's a little small? ]

You're a dick.

[ripher]

[ 😌 ]

You're welcome.

[rehandle]

Yeah, yeah.
What'd she say when she found out?

[ripher]

That I ought to apologise to you. And that she wasn't going to see me until she had taken care of you first. You lucky bastard.

[rehandle]

[ Oh. Well, since the cat's already out of the bag - ]

She offered to give me a demonstration. Who was I to refuse?

[ripher]

Yes, I was shown a video. I can't say I blame you. This is giving me flashbacks to our nights out. You going home with the girl.

[rehandle]

Sent you a video then came to see me? Ouch.

Sure, except this time the credit for my good fortune is almost entirely yours. If this is secretly how it always went, don't tell me. I don't need to know.
