(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: Do you dance, Nine?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: To be clear? I'm looking for some specificity. If the answer's yes? Elaborate.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule: Yes. Ballroom dancing. Attended charity events now and then in NYC. Something you pick up. Know enough to get by.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: Damn.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: I'mma be thinking about you in a tux all night now.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule: I look amazing in a tux.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: I have no doubt.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: Though.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: To be fair.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: You look amazing in nothing, so.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule: Yeah. But there is something so compelling about such formality in dress, letting the eyes do all of the talking of what you really want to do in the middle of a dance.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: You don't need to sell me.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: I'm already deep into googling local galas.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule: Yeah? Sure there are a few. Though maybe a more in Seattle thing. Least the charities, they want to pull from where the big money is at.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: Ice Ball?

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule: Send me the details.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: I hope you never learn the dangers of enabling me ❤️

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: There will be tarot.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: I feel like we gotta.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule: Yeah. Let me make sure I can make it work with schedule. If so? I'm yours. We'll go.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: I'mma have to get myself a dress, so.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: You can't make this one? Know I'mma hold you to another.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule: Wouldn't expect anything less. You know I'm going to hold you to a lot of things.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule: And not just in the way you immediately thought about.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: :blush: :kissing_heart:

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: We're a go for Operation Audience of One, btw.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule: Just let me know when.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: Mhm.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: Think maybe there's a talk we should have before then.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule: Yeah?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: The one that I kinda carelessly triggered the other night and we never got around to actually having.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule: Suppose you don't mean a practical, intimate conversation about your choice of IUD and how I'm a fan of women's health and choice. There a reason you want to have the sparkling talk before band practice? Kinda wondering now what type of band this really is.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: It's not about the band. Though my bassist knows.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: We practice in my basement, and it's kind of an intentionally sacred space.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: Something fucked up happened there and I've been working on making it mine again for weeks.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule: Doesn't answer why you want to have the talk before the band practice. Look, not that I'm opposed to having the talk. We need to. Just the statement of when .. yeah. There it is. Tell me what intentionally sacred place means to you.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: And you're not gonna be able to come see us play without seeing those efforts.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: That answer enough?

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule: Nope.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule: You want me to know something? Tell me. Don't want to tell me over text? We'll see each other. But if it's important to you? And you don't want me to fuck something up? Vague little comments aren't going to work.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: Hey. Slow down, yeah?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: First, this is not even a little bit about worrying about you fucking anything up, alright?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: This is about me sharing something personal and uncomfortable with you. By choice.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: And it IS uncomfortable. I may not be at the very tippity top of my game while navigating this.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule: Yeah. All right, fair. And I appreciate that. So, this is what I'll say. If you want to tell me more? Tell me the way you are most comfortable doing so, and we will make it happen. If you just want me to know so I don't freak out, and you aren't ready to tell me? I'm good with that too, yeah?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: Come over. Let me show you?

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: Not right this minute.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: But that's how it would be easier.

(TXT to Sparrow) Yule: Yeah. We can do that. I'll let you know when I'm free. We will make it happen before band practice. Promise.

(TXT to Yule) Sparrow: Thank you. 💚
