From Chronicles

Desmond rolls out of the apartment, pausing briefly outside the door as it becomes clear Kesslan will accompany him. Waiting until the farewells are given. Once they are both out and the door is closed he starts down the hall to depart the condo complex, though he won't be in a hurry once he begins. "You think me wrong for this?" The question low spoken. Thoughtful. "For not accepting the man's offering?"

Kesslan shrugs slightly "Is attempt it seem to make peace with Desmond for what ever there is between Desmond and Kelley." he says simply as he follows along "Hard to know certain when not know what happen between Desmond and Kelley in full. Easier on Aimee would be but in end choice belong to Demsond."

"She is between us,"Desmond rumbles as he walks. "So too I do not trust the man.. no like I trust you." He glances back a bit towards Kesslan. "I would not worry for her when she is with you. With him.. I worry. She says things will not change between us and I believe her. But part of me.. it is unquiet." His eyes forward again. "So too that place.. it reminds me of all that I cannot give to her.. all that he could. I do not like to feel that I lack.. that I am unworthy of her. Yet it is hard when I am so firmly reminded of my own limits." Working steadily though the many things that jumble in his mind, unlacing and examining each strand of that tense ball.

Kesslan muses what Desmond has to say about that "Think perhaps though in time Desmond will be able to offer these things, is matter of time only. Beyond this, is not issue think. Aimee not seem judge Kesslan or Desmond on where live, only on who is." he explains "Many thing obvious Desmond could do that Kelley could not so Desmond not as limited as seem think."

Desmond breathes out deeply and agrees, "She does not judge me.. that is not the problem. It is myself that judges.. that feels lesser." He pauses at the entrance to the place, turning to face Kesslan. "In time, yes.. I hope to build my resources. The bar.. if it works well it could provide for the three of us well. Still it is not a substantial thing yet. It does not quiet the instinct that hisses over rivalry.. contest. Despite the words before part of me clings to that. That I doubt his trustworthiness only adds to that. Not that he would harm her, but that he would seek to draw her back to him, given the chance. But that too is a disgrace.. that such feelings are in me.. even though I trust her." There is some frustration in the breath he releases then. "I am sorry.. I want to make things easier for her.. but I am still unquiet. And I must return to Moe's.. my shift wills tart soon for this evening."

"Perhaps then in time these fears will be quieted. Though admit cannot say will not prove true." Kesslan replies as he follows along "Aimee say should speak with Desmond of some plan have?" deciding he'd be better off changing the subject to something a little more tasteful to the both of them now.

Desmond nods his head once. "Come, accompany me. We shall eat and I shall tell you of what is planned for us. You, me and Aimee." Indeed, he seems to relax slightly as the more favorable topic is brought forth. "I think it will be good for us." Hints given before the big male turns to exit the complex and head towards the Dregs and Moe's. Tags:desmond, kesslan
