Here We Go Again...

I could feel, this time, the fluttering around the edge of myself that means that Darkside's link is wide open and active, more so than usual.

Why?

The long, interesting conversation with yaksha42. [edited to include newly-acquired LJ username.]

All of Darkside's protective modes come on when I'm talking with a new male. Very elder-brotherly of him. Or something. It happens every time, and it's keyed to the necklace, in some odd way... that's the most prominent physical representation of the link.

He gets protective of me. I think the only male person he trusts to deal correctly with me is ralmathon. Others seem to have their presence noted/logged, and tolerated on the condition that they do not hurt me. New men are investigated, usually found to be lacking but tolerable given the usual conditions, and treated normally thereafter.

There are a few people who still cause Darkside to bristle and become grouchy about.

I have only guesses as to how Darkside would treat ralmathon if there were a chance that instead of me just having a boring normal crush on him, that ralmathon might date me. I suspect it might be a lot less friendly.

ralmathon = Tolkien Geek?

Nope: ralmathon is my old friend, the former morning lab guy, also known as Neighbor.

Yaksha is the evening lab guy, the Tolkien geek, the new guy.

Darkside knows, and to some degreee, trusts, ralmathon: they're friends, and Neighbor's a male that Darkside doesn't have to worry about leaving me alone with. ralmathon won't hurt me in any way, mental or physical, and Darkside doesn't have to worry about it.

Yaksha is a completely unknown factor, and Darkside hasn't the foggiest what his motives are.
