"Are you certain you brought enough? I'd offer some of my own things, but I doubt they'd fit."

Xas is not particularly small.

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

"I can always get more."

[shall-go-free.livejournal.com]

"True. Though the selection here is rather limited--compared to Europe, or, I believe, to Milliways."

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

Thom looks surprised. "Milliways has --

"Oh.

"Of course it does."

[shall-go-free.livejournal.com]

"It lacks a certain part of the experience, I will give you that."

Xas smiles wryly.

"Not that I care particularly much for such things."

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

"There is nothing wrong," Thom says testily, "with liking nice things."

[shall-go-free.livejournal.com]

Xas plucks lightly at his own shirt.

"No, truthfully there isn't. The selection, however, I am often more than pleased to leave to others."

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

"Why?"

[shall-go-free.livejournal.com]

"Inherent laziness isn't a good enough answer?"

His lips quirk a bit, at the corners.

"For the most part that, too, is habit. People look askance at a human who never changes clothes."

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

Thom nods. That makes sense.

[shall-go-free.livejournal.com]

Xas is eminently sensible.

"This habit of looking askance is why I wear make-up, as well."

In the interests of being honest.

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

"That makes them look less askance?"

[shall-go-free.livejournal.com]

"Yes."

Xas stands, fetching a washcloth from the bathroom.

It only takes a moment to strip his face bare.

It takes a bit longer for him to unbutton his shirt and wipe the concealer from his torso.

But the bursts of radiance that travel over his marble-pale skin (travel in time with his pulse), explain exactly why the 'less' is very accurate.

Dude.

"You're lucky you're not in a circus."

Dry?

Impressed?

It's hard to tell with Thom.
