We were talking politics, vaguely, and marriage equality came up. And he's uh, apparently kind of married.

Maybe.



To a man.

[pyrogue]

[ And there it is. ]

That... would explain what Trickster was telling me about. He said he joked that Cold and I were married. He apparently didn't take the joke well.

[socialactivillain]

[ Under any other circumstances, he'd normally be at least a little amused by James' particular sense of humor, but that's a little too real right now. Instead, he huffs a sigh. ]

He really just can't help himself, can he?

[pyrogue]

He'd poke a bear with a stick. Cold's practically a polar bear as is.

[ Mick rubs the bridge of his nose. The same question he asked Trickster is running through his head now. But it seems to be even more relevant, now that he knows there's substance behind the suspicions and not just him and James getting each other riled up. ]

What am I supposed to do?

[socialactivillain]

[ Piper sighs, looking down into the pool and stirring one foot idly in the water. ]

I don't think you can do anything. It's not like he... expects anything from you, right?

[pyrogue]

No, doesn't seem to. Just seems... weird to leave it. But then what am I gonna say? "Sorry I'm not him"? Can't apologize for something that's not my fault.

It's surreal as all hell. If you'd told me that in an alternate universe me 'n Cold would be -- hell. [ His head is officially in his hands by this point. ] I don't wanna think about it.

[socialactivillain]

He's pretty insistent on reminding us he's not the same Cold we know. I don't think he expects an apology because you're not the Mick he knows.

[ He wrinkles his nose. ] Neither do I, to be honest.

[pyrogue]

That's true. I'm not gonna hold him to things our Cold has done either. That'd be unfair.

[ Mick sighs a little before falling silent.


He's not gonna think about it. No. Nope.





He's thinking about it. ] This Cold is different, right? Not like our Len at all.
