Stone's Throw

[Charon Tethras]

"...just your friends. Right? We can trust them?" he pleads. 

[Andreas Amell]

"I don't know," Andreas snapped, though his voice was less sharp and hot and more... panicky. "I remember.. Heidi was here. And Cameron..." I don't recall him... ahhh, nude? Or... doing... "But I think there were others maybe?"

[Charon Tethras]

"I don't know any of them. Well I guess Heidi. But I couldn't tell you who was there, because I don't know, I thought... I thought you'd made arrangements!"

[Andreas Amell]

"How could I have?" Andreas retorted in bewilderment. "I had no idea that-- this hasn't-- it was the first--"

[Charon Tethras]

"...well I don't know, maybe there are signs? You're the first catfolk I ever met, I don't know these things!"

[Andreas Amell]

"I'm not blaming you!" Andreas rushed to say. 

[Charon Tethras]

"Look I thought I was immune to all this being merikos so..."

[Andreas Amell]

"Same here," Andreas agreed rapidly, nodding twice before stopping with a wince. "I mean, normally, catfolk get their first heat a few years before their majority, not months."

[Charon Tethras]

"Maybe... maybe we'll get them less often than twice a year?" he almost pleads. 

[Andreas Amell]

"Gods above, belong and a'tween, I hope so," Andreas agreed fervently. 

[Charon Tethras]

Charon, done dressing, turns back to the door. "Okay. So. Let's talk again, say... a week from today, noon?"

[Andreas Amell]

Oh thank Bastion, he's not-- say something dumbass! Andreas coughed to 'explain' why there was an awkward pause. "Ah, yes, aherrm, yes. A week at, umm, how about that grill we went to? With your sibs, I mean." If I'm going back, I can get more coin. 

[Charon Tethras]

"Cool. Cool. And you'll be at your dads if there's an emergency?" 

[Andreas Amell]

"Uhhhhh, yesssss? Yes. I mean, I'll probably be touching base with the whole fam, but yeah, I'll be sleeping at our dad's," Andreas confirmed.

[Charon Tethras]

"Cool. Cool. Uh. Take your time and all. I'll just. I'll just go." So saying, Charon stumbles to the door and slips out.
