[Oh my God, Will thinks. Did he mean to send this to Dorian? Which is good because his next thought is If Dorian trusts me enough to know where his painting is and see it, surely dealing with his boyfriend in a tough time is something he'd trust me to do, too. Part and parcel of it all.

But because Will himself is sick to death of always being associated with someone else and never seen as his own person, with the kick of empathy he has, that's not his sole motivator here.]

We can talk whenever you'd like, yes. But I have a feeling you meant this for someone else. A hostage taker?

[Dammit, what is going on? Toby still can't bring himself to go home or face Dorian just yet. Besides, he might not be there, and it'll be awkward sitting around waiting for him, only for him to turn up right pissed, possibly after having gotten laid, too. Which is why Toby needs to contact him first.

And this isn't him. Great. Why is this happening now?]

You're right, this was supposed to be for someone else.
I'm terribly sorry for inconveniencing you. Might I ask who this is?
I could always remove this number if you wish.

[infomodder]

[Because everything happens so much, Toby.]

Will Graham. No need to remove my number, unless you really want to. I'm not upset or inconvenienced. We all make mistakes, have accidents, etc. Nothing to worry about. This stays between us regardless.

[hisheartsdesire]

Oh, Will. I remember you now, yeah.
Thank you for being so judicious about this.
I really could've sworn I'd sent to Dorian's number. Perhaps I should try again.
You were wondering about what I'd mentioned about the hostage taker?
Not all that long ago, Dorian was among those held hostage in a hotel.
Anyway, I didn't believe him when he'd mentioned. I had my reasons.
Then, of course, I found out I should never have doubted in the first place.
I just wanted to let him know ahead of time that I really want to talk.

[infomodder]

[At least it hadn't gone down like the Manipulator's, Will supposes. Meaning Abigail wasn't involved.]

There have been a mix ups with numbers today. I accidentally sent something to Dorian, actually. Might not be any harm in trying again.
Do you two not live together or were you wanting to let him know before he got home type of thing?

[hisheartsdesire]

Something like but not exactly the latter.
Think I should try sending it to him one more time?

[infomodder]

Might be better to call. That way you'll be sure you've got him and not someone who could be a bit less judicious with details they weren't meant to have.

[hisheartsdesire]

Good point. I think I'll try that right now.

[infomodder]

Good luck.
You know, if you ever need a place to crash and you're in Heropa, we've always got an extra bed. We don't ask too many question. Offer's on the table.

[hisheartsdesire]

[Sometime later...]

Oh. Thank you. No, I don't think it's that sort of trouble, really.
And the call also went to someone else.
This is ridiculous.
You know what? I could use a drink.
Or two. Or five.
Care to join me?

[infomodder]

I'd be more than happy to.
What city is best for you?

[hisheartsdesire]

Heropa might be good. Have any recommendations?
If you have any preferences, I'm up for suggestions.

[infomodder]

[Insert directions to a funky little shack on a beach near Heropa here!]

If you don't mind a little sand, the smell of fish and salt, this place is my favorite off the beaten path bar.

[hisheartsdesire]

[Maybe it'll be like Whitby. Except it's in Florida, which is nothing like Whitby. Though there are beaches and fishing...]

I'll be there.
Shouldn't take me long.

[Especially if the sun's down, which... it probably should be.]

[infomodder]

[And less chance of vampires washing ashore as dogs. Usually.]

I just need to change and I'll be there myself.
Meet in a half hour sound good to you?

[hisheartsdesire]

Sounds perfect. See you then.
