Good afternoon, you've reached Rowan Lewis at Gay Agenda dot Com.
Unfortunately it's no longer the 90s, so feel free to leave a message after the beep but I ain't gonna check it.
Text me like a normal person. BEEP.

Hey, look, time is good. And thinking. Like I said, the only rush is your own comfort, so take as much or little time as you need over all of this.

[That first time sounds like kind of a disaster, though, and Rowan wishes that they'd been there to try and help him through it.]

That absolutely makes sense. Don't think you need to push yourself too hard, though. If you need to stop and just... enjoy it, just stop. You can always think back on it later. And if you need someone to talk shit through with, I'm still gonna be here. During or after. I didn't go through exactly what you're going through, but I remember what it's like to question, and it helped me to have someone to talk to. Or at; half the time it was just me voicing my way through things until I got to the conclusion.

[jengohshit]

No, yeah, that makes sense. If it's all right with you I might come for the...sanity check? If something feels weird or I can't figure out what to do about something, you know? Or, yeah, voicing through things, that actually happened a little bit ago, heh.

I really, really appreciate you being willing to talk with me about this, by the way. If it's ever...too much, if I'm ever too much to deal with you can tell me to come back later. I've been like this for thirty-two years, I can wait a few days to let you get stuff off your plate, you know?

[ralliesprotests]

Yeah, of course it is. Do you remember when I said I'm free? If I'm working, you can always come down to the Revelry and I'll take a break when I can.

And don't worry about me. Look, I was lucky that I got my shit figured out early, but I have three gay mums and their social group is mostly as queer as they are. I had a lot of help, it don't bother me to pass that on. And I finished transitioning over five years ago, so the worst of it's just memories these days. [They pause, and then add,] In the unlikely event that it happens, I'll let you know, though.

[jengohshit]

I know. I just don't wanna...impose, I guess. I mean, you're new to the place anyway, you've got enough to deal with just settling in, right? Don't need some...confused half-elf tugging at your sleeve all day.

Anyway, I'll shut up about it. Um, I think I'll let you go, you'll probably hear from me during the week. But you've given me some really good stuff to think about, so thank you again.

[ralliesprotests]

Eh, it's been almost a month already, and I adapt fairly quickly. [Seriously, between Silent and Ren pulling and this stupid competition to see who can fuck the best, it feels like they've been here longer just dealing with the pair of them.]

You're really not imposing, please don't stress about that. I'm glad to be able to help.

[jengohshit]

I'm really glad we got to meet.

[ralliesprotests]

Me too! It's nice for me as well. To have someone who understands, I mean. [Whatever Vax works out for himself, at the very least he can understand the questioning, and it's always good to have someone there who understands, even just in part.]

[jengohshit]

[It actually helps more than he expected to hear that Rowan benefits too. It seems obvious now, doesn't it? It's always good to have your people around.]

I'm really glad, and I'll keep it in mind. Catch you later, yeah?

[ralliesprotests]

Yep, speak to you soon!

[And Rowan will end the connection there.]
