To [Solace]: You blew off my friends to play HoL

It was a long few seconds before any new messages popped up.

[Solace] whispers: Drew, I didn’t blow anyone off

[Solace] whispers: I left your friends who we’d been hanging out with for more than 24 hours

[Solace] whispers: To come and hang out with my friends

[Solace] whispers: Who I hadn’t seen for a while

Drew stared at the screen.

To [Solace]: did you not like my friends?

[Solace] whispers: I like your friends. I had a good time

[Solace] whispers: But I wanted to go and do something else

To [Solace]: I could have come with you

[Solace] whispers: You could have, but you seemed happy with your friends

To [Solace]: i dont want to choose between my friends and my boyfriend

[Solace] whispers: I’m not asking you to

To [Solace]: but you sort of did

[Solace] whispers: I didn’t mean to

[Solace] whispers: But you can’t make me choose between you and my friends either

To [Solace]: kit this is a video game

To [Solace]: i know HoL has been a big part of your life

To [Solace]: but these are just people you know on the internet

To [Solace]: half of them are twice your age

To [Solace]: half of them don’t live in this country

[Solace] whispers: Drew

[Solace] whispers: i really dont know what to say

[Guild][Ialdir]: Hey Drew, Solace said you two started playing Torment11

[Solace] whispers: or why you’re saying this

[Solace] whispers: is this what you really think of me

Drew stared at his screen in horror. He was in the middle of something he was pretty sure was an argument with his boyfriend—an argument he wasn’t sure how he’d started, or what it was really about. Trying to have a conversation about classic video games in guild chat at the same time was slightly beyond him.

[Guild][Orcarella]: y

[Guild][Ialdir]: How are you finding it?
