"I had a bad experience with heroin," he explains, then shakes his head and clarifies, "Not me personally, but something happened at a party I attended. But I'd rather not think about it right now."

He wrinkles his nose at the tease, a little uncertain, but doesn't protest, opting instead to sip at his drink. "Hm. Well, see, you didn't even tell me whether it was a him or a her or neither at first, so I couldn't have known. I do want to meet them regardless."

He considers a moment, then adds, "A threesome would be nice, though, should we stumble across the right person. Doesn't have to be this one, but keep it in mind, mm?"

His smile returns then. "I'll let Phenex handle his heart; they seem to have taken it as their responsibility. But yes! I've met him. Handsome and charming, which is to be expected."

"Granted, I was a squirrel when I met him first, but he took it in stride. I think I like him."
