Hello everyone, this is Foggy with some questions of an adult nature for th adults of this community. Would those who are under the age of majority in their home please not continue on here, or do so aware that this is adult in nature.



Right, now that it's just us...

I have some questions about sexual health and this place. We come from a variety of worlds and times, and that means a variety of possible diseases and the ever possible pregnancy from the right sorts of activities.

Has anyone gathered information about STDs and this place? There's not a lot in the way of medicine, so it's something we need to keep on top of, especially with people coming and going with no warning.

And pregnancy. Is there some sort of protection people are using? Are we being safe, people?

We're adults. I know we're having sex. But we need to make sure everyone's safe and frankly, that we're not having babies in this place.

Oh - god, no, she realizes how bad that all sounds now. She sets her tea aside and steps over to kneel in front of Foggy.

"Foggy, no ... you didn't make me uncomfortable. I -" She pulls in a breath, taking a moment to formulate her words, frowning slightly as she does so because this is important and she needs to get it right. "You've been such a good friend to me here, and I want to be that for you, but I realize I can be intense and I'm not sure what you need, or what you want; if it's better if I'm here or not. I don't want to push, but ... I care about you, and I want to help."

He looks up at her as she crouches down, expression lightening a little. "Oh. I thought- mm."

He shakes his head slightly. "I don't want you to go. I just- shit. I've only ever talked about any of this with Marci, and only really because she couldn't help but notice I have nightmares most nights." Still has them, frankly. They change form now, but he still has them. "I didn't want to make you uncomfortable. I know you said I didn't, but I still don't want to do that to you."

"I can stay." Nightmares, too? What else has he gone through than just a toxic friendship and stressful cases? "If you want, I can stay the night, even. uncomfortable is for things we don't want to deal with, things we're in too much denial about to face. That doesn't apply here. I realize it's not always going to be pleasant, but your friendship and your well-being is important to me."

He looks down, but he nods slightly. "I would really like that," he says softly. "No implications just... not being alone. It's been really hard to adjust to." Even Lynn's little warm presence hasn't really been helping.

"It was only in the last year that things went bad between us. It wasn't like that for most of our relationship. It was when Elektra came back onto the scene it went bad. Which isn't to say it's her fault. It's not."

"No, just friends keeping friends company." She trusted him. Hell, she wouldn't have said no if other things happened, under better circumstances, but that wasn't the mood tonight; this was just about human connection on an emotional level.

She stands and motions for Foggy to do the same. It's time someone gave him a hug. "Things will always change, and it won't always be for the better. Fault doesn't need to exist for things to be shitty. But, that doesn't mean you can't mourn what once was before moving forward."

He stands up, feeling heavy and weighed down by all this. Maybe, after a sleep, he'll feel a bit better. Maybe he'll really only feel better when he actually tells someone what happened (without the specifics of 'my blind best friend is a vigilante').

He doesn't know what else to say now. There are things he could say, but he's not ready to dig into those things and the other stuff that comes up with it.

Lynn hops off his lap as he starts to move, and ducks behind Anne's feet with a mrr?

Once Foggy is standing, Anne wraps her arms over his shoulders and pulls him in close, holding him tight and resting her head on his shoulder. No need for words now, just a companionable, empathetic silence. She'll hold him as long as he needs.

They've done enough digging for tonight.

His arm curl around her ribs and waist and he buries his face in at the side of her neck. He doesn't cry, doesn't shudder or sob, just holds onto her.

It's nice.

He's needed this.
