“Well, but, are you sure you don’t want to take the couch?” This might have been just slightly tipping over the line of employer and employee, no matter just how lonely said employer felt, no matter the reassurance that nothing else untoward was going on. James was surely in possession of a healthy enough social life, one that didn’t involve babysitting his slightly tipsy boss. “’s just... my house’s always empty-- open. For visitors. If you wanna have a sleepover and not... not drive back. Or walk back. To yours.”

“I’m sure you’ve had better suggestions than this in the past, James. That’s why I’ve always liked bouncing thoughts off you.” Robin managed a tired smile in the direction of his most trusted bouncer, holding back the disheartened sigh he truly wished to let out, for fear of James taking it personally. “I think I won’t mind if most of our dates happen to be outside of town, truly. If anything, he can still astound me with his knowledge of the cities around us, and we also get to hold hands in public. I could ask him to show both me and Ava around campus so it looks less incriminating for him personally. I’d rather not put him in an uncomfortable position, though, of course.”
