"We must have different dictionaries," said Ellie, patting his arm affectionately.

Shane chuckled then nodded, "Probably" he said then glanced to the camera to delete the pictures then glanced to Ellie. "I should clean up before giving this back to him." He said then handed her the camera

flying_purple_monkfish wrote:All a bunch of misfits right? Kay looked to Thalia and smiled sadly. But I think you're right. Everyone is... much more accepting. For a moment though, there was a flash of conflict in his mind. Yes he felt more at home here, but that didn't mean he felt totally secure or convinced that certain secrets wouldn't shatter that acceptance completely.

flying_purple_monkfish wrote:Kay smirked. What'd you do THIS time, who has the evidence and how bad will it be if anyone finds out?

Ellie took the camera, laughing. "You really don't need to worry, we're not living in the dark ages any more. But I'll keep this out of 1812's reach."

Shane flushed and shrugged a little. "Leftover habit?" He said, though he was more teasing than saying.

flying_purple_monkfish wrote:Yeah no way did he want to know. Honestly, I think that's more traumatic for anyone having to see than for you two. He shrugged. Your kinky private life is your business, but i have to ask, given the two of you are hardly shy in your affections for one another, or indeed the sort of crap you get up to, why are you so paranoid about people knowing what you're making no effort to hide in the first place?

The things she must overhear and witness... He glanced to the cameras, somewhat thankful she couldn't hear his telepathy and couldn't read everything he wrote down. He nodded though. The Imperium really... don't like interspecies relationships, and they aren't too keen on same sex relationships either. This is.. one of the many reasons Matt didn't have to convince me to leave. That said, that distrust can be an advantage sometimes. On the frontier they mostly left me alone, half because they didn't want to fraternize with someone like me, and half because they were genuinely concerned of what I might be able to do. He half smiled. Given I rather like being on my own sometimes and having a bit of privacy, driving people away simply by existing suited me just fine. That wasn't entirely true, but he'd always been happier to be shunned and ostracized than hated and threatened.

Old habits die hard... but we're free He hesitated, it was true wasn't it? they were free, and they were amongst people who wouldn't hurt them for who... or what... they were. He quickly closed off his thoughts and went back to watching the stars.

flying_purple_monkfish wrote:It's a vast universe, there's bound to be pockets of idiocy left. Like that planet we just left. His eyes narrowed. I wish I could have hurt them more. He admitted, and immediately regretted it.
