@SassyMusketeer Good.

No one saw his stumble.

Clearing his throat, Porthos tugged down the front of his coat, then threw a glance at Aramis.

"Right. Lead the way, then."

[𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 @BaronPorthos]

@SassyMusketeer « not being welcomed...

"I'll bring you to the merchant," Thos finally murmured, leading the way through the crowd.

@SassyMusketeer « turning a blind eye to her young son stealing a loaf of half stale bread, just so she could try and feed her family. He saw an immigrant trying damn hard to get back on his feet after coming to a new land for better opportunities, despite »

[𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 @BaronPorthos]

@SassyMusketeer "I don't think we should mess too much with Charon's territory, Ara."

The larger male wanted for his friend to see the good in the people there. Aramis was, after all, from a similar beginning.

[𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 @BaronPorthos]

@SassyMusketeer "You deserved that one," Porthos hummed as they watched Athos take his leave from the Court. Then, with a quick little puff or breath, the combat specialist turned his full attention towards his closest friend. "So, this fight you're picking. Where is it?"

[𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 @BaronPorthos]

@SassyMusketeer "Do you want company on this fight-picking expedition? Or would you rather take it alone?"

Porthos stepped up to his horse, giving the large beast a rather tender rub of acknowledgement.

[𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 @BaronPorthos]

@SassyMusketeer Porthos didn't need an extended chat with Charon - he needed to not crumble in front of Aramis. And if that meant crumbling in front of an old flame, instead, then so be it.

By the time the Baron made his way towards his comrades, he was ready to put it all behind him.

"Well?"

[𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 @BaronPorthos]

@SassyMusketeer "As friends? Of course not."

As anything else, it was. Porthos knew that even their friendship was going to be strained, whether they wanted it to be, or not.

There was just no coming back from certain things.

"Go on, Ara."

[𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 @BaronPorthos]

@SassyMusketeer It only had the Baron laughing harder.

Athos was significantly less amused.

[𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 @BaronPorthos]

@SassyMusketeer « speak with Charon for a moment. Go find Athos. I'll catch up."

[𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 @BaronPorthos]

@SassyMusketeer Aramis' ability to bounce back continually gave Porthos emotional whiplash. Clearing his throat, he patted the marksman's knee before he stood.

It was best to just...
Let it go.

Let it go.

Easier said than done.

"I need to stop and »

[𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 @BaronPorthos]

@SassyMusketeer « good in the world.

But they were not destined for one another.

The marksman made damn sure to get that point across.

"Look, we... I will get over this, alright? Just give me time."

[𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 @BaronPorthos]

@SassyMusketeer "I wish I had the answers..."

Though he had to convince himself to do so, Porthos cautiously stepped up to where Aramis was sitting, to drop down into a squat before him. He wanted to reach out and cup his cheek, to promise him everything »

[𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 @BaronPorthos]

Athos challenged @SassyMusketeer to go a week without flirting with anyone.

[𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 @BaronPorthos]

@SassyMusketeer « Court..."

[𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 @BaronPorthos]

@SassyMusketeer « need to worry about," Porthos admitted after a pause. "That is what I was hiding from my past... Flea and I were lovers, yes. But it... It was empty. We both felt it. We were far better friends than anything. And then Charon came to the »

[𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 @BaronPorthos]

@SassyMusketeer « I want to be rid of these feelings for you. Just let me do this how I need to do this, and then we will be fine."

[𝕻𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖘 @BaronPorthos]

@SassyMusketeer « me I'm damned," Porthos whispered. "Stop saying how you moved on. A-And stop expecting me to be okay with all of this so soon. Alright? Just -- I need time. I can't write my feelings off for you with a simple prayer. I'm trying. Believe me. »
