I think Christian is seeing someone.

He's being very cagey about his schedule.

It's insane to just show up at his place to confirm, right?

[1] Not insane, but certainly unnecessary.
[2] I do not think he will lie if you ask him directly.
[...]
[3] Cagey how?

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[1] I don't think he'll lie, but I do think he'll try to avoid answering the question.
[2] I called him Wednesday night and he didn't call me back until quite late with no real explanation. Time just 'got away from him.'
[3] And then today I asked him if I could come see him this evening and he said he was busy. Very vague about with what. He said he can maybe do Thursday. Maybe.
[4] Plus when I told him I wanted to take him to Café Boulud sometime soon he said he'd already been. He doesn't go those places by himself.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[1] I think you're both over-complicating this, mi corazón.
[2] Are you concerned he's chosen poorly?

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[1] Maybe I'm overcomplicating it a little by not just asking. But he's doing most of it.
[2] I assume if he's hiding someone from me it's because he thinks I won't approve.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[1] Undoubtedly.
[2] How high are your standards for his paramours?

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[1] Thank you for always being on my side. 😘
[.....]
[2] Normal. He knows that.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[1] Always. 🤍 I like being right, anyway.
[...]
[2] Explain them to me. Perhaps I can help you make sense of his apprehension.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[1] 🤍 I do get the feeling that you're laughing at me despite that, darling.
[2] They're normal. Just [...] polite, kind, thoughtful. All the normal things.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[...]
[1] The tiniest bit.
[2] It's sweet. How overprotective you are of him.
[...]
[3] That is all? What if they are [...] unremarkable? Irresponsible? A poor dresser?

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[1] So terrible to me when I'm so good to you.
[2] I'm not that overprotective.
[....]
[3] Well, I mean, of course I don't want those things for him.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[1] Was that terrible? Lo siento.
[2] You want what is best for him. It is not a bad thing. But it is not so simple as Christian finding a nice boy, no? He knows that.
[3] What is so bad about the direct approach?

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[1] Absolutely horrid actually. Apology accepted, though.
[2] Am I overbearing? He's just sensitive, so I worry.
[...]
[3] Maybe direct is fine. I just don't want to have to pry it out of him, you know?

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[1] You are not overbearing. And you are not wrong to be overprotective.
[2] He IS sensitive.
[3] But in this case, asking him directly shows that you are giving him support while allowing him to figure it out for himself. No? So long as you do not press for too many details.
[4] So when he's ready to talk, he can talk.
[...]
[5] Or you can drop by incidentally and read his mind. If he's being evasive, this is sure to be top of mind for him.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[1] Thank you. I am just looking out for him.
[2] I suppose that's a sensible way to look at things. I'll ask him directly.
[....]
[3] Speaking of, have you called your sister yet?

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[1] I know you are. You are a good sister, Em.
[2] Let me know how it goes?
[......]
[3] I've been a little preoccupied.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[...]
[1] 🤍 Thank you. It really does mean a lot.
[2] Of course, you'll hear all about it.
[3] Well, that's a shame. It seems like you're relatively free right now. And it's not late there at all.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[......]
[1] I'm quite busy, actually.
[2] These lesson plans are not going to prepare themselves and I've got a lot to do now that chemistry is falling to me too.
[3] But I always make time to answer your texts; the confusion is understandable.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[1] Darling, come on now.
[2] You have an entire week.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[1] I know.
[...]
[2] I will get to it when I can.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[1] I think it's only going to get harder.
[2] Call Eva and I'll call Christian. Deal?

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[1] I feel like I'm losing ground here.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[1] I'm a tough and annoying negotiator.
[...]
[2] Please? At least set a time to do it.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[1] That is more terrible than anything I said.
[......]
[2] I will set a time.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[1] You'll tell me the time?
[2] And you know this is just because I love you, right?

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[1] I know.
[2] Y te amo.
[3] But it is no surprise to you that I am a coward, no?
[...]
[4] Tomorrow morning. Then we can go to brunch.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[1] You're nervous. It's understandable.
[2] Sounds perfect. I'll tell you all about what Christian says then, too.
[3] And if he is dating someone and he tells me we can stalk him on our phones.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[x] Diplomatic of you.
[...]
[1] We have a deal, then.
[2] Just a little stalking; as a treat.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

[1] Thank you for being somewhat agreeable.
[2] A well-deserved treat, for being very mature and asking Christian directly.
