[It clicks on and there's a pause.]

And now... Hello? I'm assuming you're trying to reach me. By the Forge. So you talk now, or not now, you talk when I'm done talking, and then I'll get the message and I'll respond as quickly as possible.

[There's another pause.]

Oh! Anders. I'm Anders. You have reached Anders, please leave a message for me.

[There's another click as the message ends.]

No, actually, I don't. I simply don't tell you to shut up as often as I should. That's not an invitation for you to threaten and harass.

[barebacking]

I feel that it is an invitation.

[justice_is_blond]

You're wrong. What I'd like to invite you to do is to leave me alone, and leave Tony alone. [He pauses, because he knows the way Yaha twists things now.] I mean, not harass us, bother us, threaten us, things like that. Because I don't love him yet... but I think I could in time, and I want that time.

[barebacking]

Then, you wish to sever ties with me?

[justice_is_blond]

[That's dangerous, and Anders is at least aware enough that he doesn't want that because of its danger. He can still be honest without dooming himself.]

I would rather you talk with me as opposed to fantasizing about carving me up.

[barebacking]

That can be easily arranged.

[justice_is_blond]

Can it? Because I rather like not being hurt, and not worrying about people I care about getting hurt.

[barebacking]

I can't completely promise that to you, Anders. I can't promise that to anyone.

[justice_is_blond]

You can promise not to be the one behind it. Stick to the three things, and at least I've less risk of that.

[barebacking]

I suppose I can promise that much for the time being, regardless of how upsetting this conversation is. Do you know why? Because that is what love is, compromises.

[justice_is_blond]

Upsetting. Says the one who wants to carve me open.

[barebacking]

It's natural. It makes me happy.

Hm. I should stop talking...

[justice_is_blond]

You should stop wanting to cut me open.

[barebacking]

I can try.

[justice_is_blond]

There's the first good news I've heard all day.

[barebacking]

I would think all this honesty would be good for you.

[justice_is_blond]

...Why would you think that?

[barebacking]

Because it seems like there are a lot of liars around you.

[justice_is_blond]

No. There's honesty, and then there are some things that shouldn't be said. Not saying them doesn't make someone a liar.

[barebacking]

Then, I'm never a liar.

[justice_is_blond]

No. You are a liar, because you twist words until they practically scream. You mislead deliberately. That's being a liar.

[barebacking]

I really like the way that you said it... it sounds dirty.

[justice_is_blond]

It wasn't meant like that; I tend to save that sort of talking for Tony nowadays.

[barebacking]

Of course.

Well... before I become too belligerent, I should go.

[justice_is_blond]

I like the sound of that. Do go.
