Very eloquent and well put, Tyler.

Thank you, Jules. Did it make sense? Is there parts you didn't understand? And did you like the drawing?

I made perfect sense. And I do like the drawing. Very DaVinci.

Thank you. I emphasized the blueness of your eyes purposefully to show the wisdom you have collected.

Do you think we can maintain a friendship, like I asked? It would mean a lot to me but I understand if you aren't interested.

Tyler, I have never not been interested in being your friend.

I was awful to you. I was awful to the woman we both love. I was awful to myself. You still want to give me another a chance? *almost hugs him but isn't sure if gentleman hug so he rocks awkwardly on his heels for a second and then hugs him*

The thing about being is that you have to know when words are meant as threats and when words are meant as emotional responses. And when to forgive. [wraps one arm around him and hugs him]

I never meant to threaten you. I'll never make her choose between us, you know? Never.

*He burrows into the hug, like a boy making a promise to his father. His entire strength is put into that hug* Thank you for forgiving me. *hugs more tears perhaps staining his cheeks*

Just as long as you make that promise good, I'll not have a problem with you.

[strokes his back and let's him cry]

I will. She should never have to choose. I think we both love her too much for that.

*He briefly wonders if this is what it's like have a real parent, someone who will hold him accountable but still encourage him and hold him when he needs to be emotional. He let's that thought go, he does not want Jules to be his replacement father, just a good, good friend*

No woman should ever have to choose.

I agree. No one should. I don't want any of us to have to choose between any of us. I want you both in my life.

I want to come see you when you have time. I know it could be a long time since you're king and everything, but I figured it would be even longer before you'd be able to make it here. I spend time with you and talk things and do things together. Like friends and gentlemen. I uh, I don't smoke cigars so not that kind of gentlemen.

It's alright, I'm not one to smoke myself. I'll let you know when I get home when you can visit.

Great. *beams* I can't wait.

I'm working really hard, Jules. I'm going to keep all my promises and make you proud.

Make yourself proud before you worry of making me proud.

Making you proud would make me proud.

I'll make us both proud.

Good man, Tyler. Very good man.

Thank you, Jules. *beaming at his words, actually beaming. It feels so good to be praised even a little*
