[Layton stands looking confused in the corridor, his hand reached out as if to open a door. He was sure his office door was there in front of him, but now it was not. He lowered his hand.]

What is going on here?

[He looks around.]

Hello? Is there anyone here?

I'm... pretty sure she en't married back 'ome... I don't think she's ever been married, neither.

Wouldn't blame 'er 'usband for leavin' 'er if she did 'ave one.

[He thinks he's quiet enough for that to be inaudible, but he's probably wrong.]

[porhlayton109]

[chuckles a little.]

Soon after you left, Flora had visted me at the university, more then once and got to know a student of mine. They fell in love.
From what I know, he is the one that is cooking.

Well, back 'ome she's been fawnin' over me ever since I got back to London. 's why I don't reckon she's been married, 'cause I en't ever 'ad a married woman follow me 'round like 'er.

[porhlayton109]

I have no dout that she is, you are a fine looking younge man.

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

[He looks away.]

...well. She wouldn' like it if I got with 'er anyway. I've been with lotsa girls and it never lasts.

[porhlayton109]

I'm sorry to hear that my boy.

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

Why are you sorry? It en't all that bad...

[porhlayton109]

Some would say it was.

But if your happy, then it is no problem.

[He smiles]

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

's... enjoyable.

[IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN wink wink nudge nudge]

[porhlayton109]

[Oh Luke, that not gentlemaly at all]

I see.

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

[...heh.]

Don't look so disappointed, professah, I always treat 'em nice. Wouldn' it be ungentlemanly to disappoint the ladies?

[Luke is made of over-the-top bravado when it comes to women.]

[porhlayton109]

Yes it wouls be ungentlemanly to disappoint the ladies.

But it is more so to play with a ladys feeling.

[Layton is wishing he had stoped Clark from taking Luke across seas now.]

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

Play with their feelings?

'ardly, professah, they know what I'm like.

[Maybe if you'd done that then Luke wouldn't have been so freaked out by the dreams about y-- nvm there were no dreams. Honest. 8U]

[porhlayton109]

Mmm...

You sound like... Never mind.

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

Sound like wot, professah?

[It is. Strangely amusing to have Layton flustered like this. Luke you sadist you.]

[porhlayton109]

It is nothing, really.

[Layton dose not what to tell Luke about what hes hideing, as it may change his opinion of him.]

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

...tell me, professah. If you're gonna bring it up then you oughtta finish sayin' it.

[porhlayton109]

If you insist, You sound like my Clive before...

[He rubs the back of his neck.]

Before him and I, got together.

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

...

...

[His brain's just sort of. Whirring to a halt there.]

Clive and you... are...

[This brings up so many things that Luke hasn't wanted to think about for the past few years.]

Aaaah... so you're... wot, gay?

[porhlayton109]

Indeed I am.

[He looks away.]

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

[Don't mind Luke, he's just having something of an existential crisis.]

...fuck.

[porhlayton109]

Don't swear Luke..

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

I can swear if I wanna, professah.

An' now seems a pretty good time.

[porhlayton109]

[He looks back at Luke]
For what reason is that then?

[ohsolegal.livejournal.com]

'cause I'd 'ave... if I'd known, then...

Fuck. Just. Forget it. It en't your problem anyway.
