Video 6 ♔ I'm So Lonely

[mightthinkthat]

[Francis looks a little distracted and uncertain. He lets out a sigh.]

I wonder if I might prevail on one of the ladies of the Barge for some company? [He smiles in acknowledgement of how it sounds.] Nothing, untoward, I... just was reminded of how I missed my wife in that port. She's an intelligent, witty woman and I very much relied on her to give me a grounding.

Might wanna consider setting up a hotline for that if you make it back to your world. Might be an untapped market.

[mightthinkthat]

I shouldn't think so.

[outofclothes]

So aside from tripping over goldmine ideas, what else do you do?

[mightthinkthat]

You mean here? I'm afraid I live a dull life.

[outofclothes]

Bullshit. There's no such thing as dull here.

[mightthinkthat]

Largely due to Barge Events, not what happens in between.

[outofclothes]

Then it sounds to me like you need to spice things up. And not just with the intellectual booty calls.

[mightthinkthat]

Oh? Did you have something in mind or is that a general statement?

[outofclothes]

General statement.

[He's not a thinker. The angel in his head does more of that than him, but the angel doesn't get votes usually.]

[mightthinkthat]

Ah. [It's not particularly helpful.] I'm sure I'll think of something.

[outofclothes]

[That's basically Stark in a nutshell.]

Feel free to use it as a conversation topic for your bootycall.

[mightthinkthat]

Do stop calling it that. It suggests… [what does it suggest.] that the relationship is easily discarded. That is not what I'm looking for.

[outofclothes]

Now that's just an insult to bootycalls. It's more of a mutual understanding than easily discarded.

[mightthinkthat]

A mutual understanding that it is a discardable thing. A shallow, unimportant arrangement.

[outofclothes]

Touché.

[mightthinkthat]

Nothing wrong with that, of course. But not to my taste.

[outofclothes]

Hey, to each their own. I'm not criticizing.

[mightthinkthat]

Nor am I.

[outofclothes]

Aw look at that. Now we can be besties.

[mightthinkthat]

Was there something else?

[outofclothes]

Not at all.

[Considering he doesn't qualify for any of this.]
