He's-- he tries to take care of me, when I bring him out without using him for his ability. [Which is something he belatedly realizes that he never really explained to Avdol but hey now's not a great time, still got a dude's dick in his ass.

The touching is nice, but the sweet compliment is nicer. God, when did he ever get bashful about this kind of shit? He's heard way raunchier things thrown in his direction but Avdol is being so damned nice. He places his hand over Avdol's.]

Not in the way you say it. [He turns his head and plants a kiss into Avdol's palm.] Thanks. I know you mean it.

[Which is really why it's kind of flustering??]
