So like

If you don't know if someone is into guys or not, how do you

How do you find out?

Ooooooooo does the pigeon have a crush?

Well you can 1. Ask them if they like men.
2. Hint around if they have any exes that would give away gender.
3. Flirt a whole lot and see if they're into it.
4. Mention that you like men and see how they react.

I seem to remember I couldn't figure out if you liked men or not so I had to be direct at a point. And I'm usually amazing at sniffing it out.

UGH.

I don't think I even know how to flirt.

I don't want to make things weird if he isn't. I think his world is way more old-fashioned than mine, and those places can be weird about this sort of thing.

[He conspicuously leaves Jesper's question unanswered.]

You flirt well with me! But we know each other.

Ehhhh you don't know that. Technically my world is old-fashioned compared to yours and sexuality is not a real problem for us. Outside of one area.

There's nothing wrong with being gay so you shouldn't hide that from him regardless.

Exactly. You make it easy.

I know there's nothing wrong with it. I'm not ashamed or anything, it's just

It's still pretty new to me. Being gay and being out. I don't really know how to talk about it. I'm not gonna be like...hey, don't bother me, I need to go to the Horizon so I can make out with Jesper. He's a cute boy, by the way.

More like, sometimes I hook up with this gorgeous sexy brilliant criminal named Jesper, while I adore him and we're best friends, I'm also very open to hooking up with other people if you catch my drift.

I remember when Wy tried to gauge my interest in men. We were doing a job and I joked about flirting with girls and he asked me 'just girls?' Adorable.

All jokes aside, maybe just relax and see if it comes up naturally. You can always ask him if he has anyone to go back to. That'd figure out interest and also availability.

[Fuck. Somehow in all his overthinking, he hadn't even considered that.]

He's a king in his world. Like I said, they're old school so... There's a good chance that he's already got someone lined up to marry. But ig there's also a good chance it's all for politics, not love.

Not that I want to marry him or anything.

You and Wylan are so cute, it's not fair. Let me borrow your charm for a couple days.

You are plenty charming on your own, Wille, don't be so hard on yourself. You wouldn't want to pretend you're someone you're not anyway. You're a lovely person and anyone would be lucky to be with you.

And don't let anyone, including yourself, convince you otherwise.

Who is this guy?

Thanks, Jes.

[He believes in Jesper, so if Jesper believes in him, then...]

His name's Kelson. He hasn't been here long. Do you know him?

Always, pigeon.

[ Jesper always means it with all of his heart. ]

Nope, haven't met him yet. If I do I'll flirt a little and see if I can get a read on him. Don't worry, it'll only be flirting.

I'm not worried.

I don't even really know what I want this to be yet. I mean, it would be nice to...have someone. But I just want to see how things go.

[In short, Kelson is pretty and he looks nice to kiss, and that's a good enough reason to try.]
