[rocinantes]

no.

fuck you, no kiss with me is awful.

[manipulative]

I remember you were a little on the sloppy side.

You weren't sloppy, were you?

[rocinantes]

i was sloppy because you wanted sloppy.

no, i wasn't sloppy with her.

[manipulative]

Then what's the problem? Did you bite her? Not all women like that.

[ katherine does, of course, because she's katherine. ]

[rocinantes]

it's not that.

i just haven't talked to her about it since then

[manipulative]

What's stopping you?

[rocinantes]

because i don't do this kind of thing.

[manipulative]

You don't kiss and run? I'm leaning more toward kissing and talking about it. You're still as verbose as ever.

[rocinantes]

what do i say with things like this?

[manipulative]

Firstly, it helps to start with how it made you feel. Did you hate it? Like it? Was she awful?

[rocinantes]

yeah but i don't know if that's just because kissing is nice or because it's her.

[manipulative]

That begs the question — do you like her? Because you'll know it's just because you're a big romantic who loves kissing if your answer is no.

[rocinantes]

she's my friend.

( not really an answer. )

[manipulative]

So she was awful.

[ katherine knows what she's doing. :) ]

[rocinantes]

how did you get that from what i said?

[manipulative]

What else am I supposed to think when you purposefully avoid answering my question?

[rocinantes]

i avoided answering because i don't know the answer. i don't know how to feel things.

[manipulative]

[ christ. ]

Do you like her?

[rocinantes]

i

maybe.
i don't know.
she's okay.

[manipulative]

What every woman wants to hear.

It's an easy question, Amos. I'm not going to judge you for your actual answer.

[ while katherine may give him shit 100% of the time, she knows when to pull back. amos is a friend, even if he's a pain in the ass. ]

[rocinantes]

i know you won't

but the last few people i did anything like this with? disappeared.

[manipulative]

I'm still here.

[ js ]

So you're afraid that if you like kissing her, she'll end up being booted out of Trench?

[rocinantes]

there's precedent.

[manipulative]

Or this is the one that doesn't follow pre-established rules.

Stefan hated me for a century and a half and had made several plans to kill me. Look at us now. He's obsessed with me.

[ if anyone knows about pre-established rules, it's katherine pierce. sometimes she's still surprised that stefan loves her. ]

[rocinantes]

does he know he's obsessed with you?
