[Does this look like a harassed clock with a human face? Does it? Good, because it's Cogsworth, sitting in front of a window on the Marvisa and he looks like he just swallowed about a half a dozen lemons. In his tiny brass hands he is holding a piece of paper, and he keeps fiddling with it, shifting it between his two hands.

He puts one brass hand up to his mouth, clears his throat, and then fumbles with the paper for a moment. Could he be ... nervous? It's possible.

Lips pressed together, the time hands on his face twitching, he states flatly.]

Hello. My name is Cogsworth and I am a ... [now he has to look at the word.] Ho-mo-sexual. I realize that I am a ... clock, but I assure you that I am not a ho-mo-sex-ual clock, but a ho-mo-sex-ual man. I have been ... told. Rigorously.

[Here he is glowering.]

That I need to ... 'embrace' this. So. If there are any ... individual males who would not mind ... being complimented by a ... human clock, then, ah. Please! Come forward.

[Okay he'll try a smile but it's more of a sheepish grimace at this point. God help him.]

[Cogsworth was still going to take a moment to realize that the man was In His Bed talking to him, and blush first. Like bright red clock face was something you see every day.]

Oh. Ahem. Well. Hee. [He ... just said hee. Good Lord, the Master could in fact do better than that.]

[Ah, what a smile ...]

You know, ah, never did this before, rather not sure but I am getting much better, if I do say so myself.

[Clearing his throat, yes, he's not a young maiden to be twitting about.]

But clearly ... with a smile like that, it is easy to get carried away.

_{[ Well, there have certainly been bright red clocks in Kirk's like. He
grew up in diner country, but not one that talked per say. Or flirted with
him. ]}

Heh, don't push yourself. I think it's great you've come to realize this about yourself and you're embracing it, but you should do what's comfortable for you as well.

_{[ He really wanted to just pick Cogsworth up and put him in his
pocket, carry him everywhere. Could you adopt a clock? ]}

Please, I'm sure you've made quite a few people blush with your own smile in your time.

[The clock let out a sigh, but not a heavy sigh, more of a pensive one.]

I shal be completely honest, I am not entirely certain what makes me comfortable or uncomfortable because I have been too afraid to try anything at all. This is .... this is a safe place to start.

[Talking was not sinning, not exactly.

And ... now the clock blushed again.]

What? Oh, never. Not that I know of anyways.

Just so long as you know you don't have to compliment someone, and that you can stop if you do start to feel uncomfortable.

_{[ This was getting dangerously close to giving The Talk to a clock,
but the poor thing sounded like he needed help. ]}

Oh, I bet you did. You just never saw it.

I shall. [Here his voice is much firmer.] I shall not let others guide me down paths I would rather not ... be guided down.

[Oh, he most certainly will not. Except Lumiere but Lumiere for all his insanity would never hurt Cogsworth. He'd hurt himself, the silly fool, but never Cogsworth.]

No, no, I am sure Lumiere would have told me if someone was eying me. He likes to tease.

Ah, so you are from the same world as him then. I had a feeling, but wasn't sure.

_{[ Come on, it was practically a 99.9% chance they were related in some
fashion. ]}

Oh yes we are quite good frie - ene - fellow servants together, and have been for almost thirty years.

[Thirty years, had it been so long? They had been boys in the castle together, hadn't they? Gracious him.]

_{[ He bites his lip around a smile. ]}

We have a word for that - frenemies.

Fren-em-ies ... what does it mean?

[It does sound rather fitting, truth be told.]

Friends who are also kind of enemies or rivals. It's the two words pushed together.

Aaaaah then yes.

[Cogsworth's tone is so dry it could be the Sahara.]

Yes. That is quite, quite fitting.

_{[ They remind him of Spock and Bones, it's really cute. How can a
clock be this cute without some sort of cat on it? ]}

Those are the best sorts of friends, if you ask me. Keep you on your toes.

Oh they absolutely do - to the point that I used to feel like pulling out my hair.

_{[ His smile is both fond and sad at the same time. ]}

I mean, if you didn't every now and then, are you really friends?

Not any sort of friend I would trust to tell me the absolute truth, that much I can assure you. And Lumiere, I know, will always tell me the truth. Whether I like it or not.

[He tips his head.]

You have friends like this, yes?

_{[ He snorted and then couldn't suppress the laugh. ]}

Oh yes, yes I do. But you have the right of it - I like it that way. Even I admit there are times I need a good knock to the head and they're more than willing to give it to me.

Then you are as fortunate as you are handsome, Captain.

[He beamed quietly.]

Though I fear I am no match for such a well appointed clock.

_{[ He throws a wink your way. ]}

[Now he's blushing again. Jim, you cad.]

Well. I. Of course you are, don't be silly!

Oh, but I am never silly - only honest.

_{[ If he had dimples he would use them, but he doesn't, so he uses
those freckles instead. ]}

All you are is unbelievably charming.

[Tee hee hee. The clock is unbelievably pleased, and he is smiling that his numbers are crinkling at the corners.]

I think you are more than my match, Cogsworth ~

_{[ He just wants to pinch your cute little cheeks, Cogsworth. ]}

Really?

[All the blushing, all the time, his blue-eyed gaze totally smitten.]

Oh, you're just saying that ...

Oh no ~ I am a quite prideful man, being a captain. I don't make such compliments lightly.

[Cogsworth giggled again, his voice going up a notch.]

You are such a charmer.
