Comments

[whatisright]

[Justice really, really hopes that Anders' boyfriend meant it when he said he would try, because he will not be able to just take any more insinuations that he's dangerous. No matter how much he wants to make Anders happy, Justice has limits.

But Anders is smiling, so it's worth the effort. Justice will give it a shot. Maybe Anders is right and the man just needs time to get used to the idea of having a spirit around. Justice is ready to try if that's what it takes to make Anders happy.]

If we both try, I do not see why it cannot work. [It's not like they have to be best friends. If Justice puts effort into not unsettling Anders' boyfriend, and Anders' boyfriend puts effort into not treating Justice like a bomb waiting to go off in Anders and Riona's laps, then their main sources of conflict would disappear. Justice won't hold the man's earlier slights against him as long as he tries going forward.]

It is not as though my first impressions have not been wrong in the past.

[After all, Justice judged Anders hard when they first met in the Fade during the conflict with the Baronness. It would have been hard to imagine being so close to him when they first met, but Justice wouldn't give up their friendship for the world now. Who's to say that he can't be surprised again?]

Thank you. [He knows he's said it twice, but he meant it. He really didn't have any right to ask this of either of them, but it was important to him. There weren't very many people he cared about quite so much. To have those few people fighting each other was less than ideal.

He smiled, his tone teasing even as the smile was genuine.]

You are rather quick to judge people, sometimes.

Now, come on, help me finish and store these potions real quick.

End?

[whatisright]

Perhaps sometimes.

[Justice allows, warmth and a little bit of amusement in his eyes. Anders is smiling, and Justice can't be offended by him telling the truth.

He settles in to help Anders with the potions, pleased to just share his friend's company. If this is what it takes to make Anders happy, he will try to be good with his boyfriend going forward. What's the worst that can happen?]
