[ Gorgug can pick up some implications here, for once!! But even without their recent developments, that would go without saying then as it would now. It's actually difficult, figuring out if there's a deeper meaning to the context of Fabian's worrying. Is it because they got together, or is it because they're good friends?

...even Gorgug feels himself toeing the line, or testing said line. Isn't this why he messaged Fabian specifically? Instead of messaging both Fabian and Riz...? ]

It won't. I think-- this might help. Knowing there's people out there taking this seriously. It doesn't feel like... there's a lot of people we can talk about this with, outside each other.

[ Etraya. Their situation. Gorgug's willing to walk out to the derelict church for this reason, and because he doesn't actually think Chrollo's going to do anything to him ((maybe)). But while he could end it right there, he hadn't missed the compromise in Fabian's tone--or forgotten the worry that had been there, the worry that persists.

Gorgug pauses, before: ]

You know, if we plan to meet up... I, um... I'll do whatever you want, so...if I have to do something for you, then I have to make it back so we can keep our plans. Since I said I would.

[ H-he's trying to be smooth, Fabian...! Or flirty.... flirty and suggestive. Is it working, Fabian? Are you getting what Gorgug is putting down? King? ]
