"Master told me that Simon isn't the sort of guy to settle down. Like, like he's never had a relationship with anyone. He used to take a lot of clients and Master used to be one bit he hasn't actually been with anyone." She wasn't saying this out of the blue or to hurt Peter. She wasn't trying to discourage him either. "But when I saw you with him at the store, I couldn't believe it. I think you're different. Like it wants everything with you. And if that's the case, and you go for it, I'm really, really happy for him. He always has been so lonely to me. Not that he shows it. It's just that he's kind of a great guy. And he's s great friend. He'd give you the shirt off of his back too. But he should settle down. Be good to him, Peter."

"Mindy, leave that poor boy alone and come here!" Mitch called and off Mindy went, skirt flipping up as she half skipped over to reveal still red marks.

Simon let Peter come back on his own, though. And not too long after, the rest of the demonstration with proper kneeling and command words as the fore front of the discuss. And still Simon was more or less impassive.

Hard to read as ever, he was having a little crisis all his own. He liked Peter. He liked Peter too much. It felt one sided now though.
