[Alas poor Elliot has no idea which conversation he could mean. So when Jusis calls him, he assumes he's asking about a music or pop-culture related question. You know. Normal stuff]

Eheh, sure! I always have time for you. What's up?

[Jusis takes a couple of quick screenshots.]

I'll send you the screenshots. It's a little difficult to describe accurately.

[And then he sends Elliot the text conversation he had with Amal, signing his friend's death warrant on accident.]

Some of it I do understand, but I feel as though I've missed a beat somewhere.

Alright-

[He goes to open up the screenshots. It only takes a brief moment before there's a distinct sound of choked surprise and he nearly drops his phone]

[DEEP BREATH. Oh god why this why him]

Uh-

Y-Yeah I'd say you missed a big beat there!

[Uh—]

Well, before I ask what big beat I missed, are you alright? That didn't sound healthy.

[Does he need to call an ambulance, sir.]

Gah- I'm fine. It just caught me by surprise, is all. Reaaaaally just thought it'd be a music question or something.

[He sighs. Come on. He's a teacher. He can get through this]

Okay, so what did you mean when you told Amal to kneel before you?

[Poor Elliot. Today is not the day for simplicity.

Jusis will at least play along. He's not certain what that has to do with anything, but he trusts his best friend.]

I didn't intend to say for him to kneel before me, specifically, but I'll admit to the meaning behind it being derogatory. I meant for him to kneel as if he was beneath me.

[THAT IS NOT MUCH BETTER, JUSIS]

What?! That's-

[CHRIST JUSIS. Elliot has to gulp, and mutters under his breath:]

Oh boy I'm gonna have vivid dreams tonight...

[He clears his throat and speaks at a normal volume]

Okay, right. J-Jusis, listen. Sometimes when someone commands to kneel before them....i-it can be read as you're telling them to give you, um, o-oral.

[Jusis will politely wait in confusion for Elliot to elaborate. Fortunately, he doesn't ask for him to repeat whatever he mumbled about!

As for the explanation....]

Oh. ...Oh. I see. That's quite the unfortunate misunderstanding. Is that a common read for using the word 'kneel?' Or, rather, perhaps the better question is should I simply not use it?

[Well, at least he got THAT. And thank heavens he didn't ask him to repeat his muttering...]

Um, well, it's common enough...

[As for the second question, he gulps]

...H-Honestly Jusis, I have no idea. I've never been the type to tell anyone to kneel, sexually or otherwise, so I don't know the proper etiquette there.

[Jusis hums softly in thought for a moment.]

Fair enough. It might be for the best that I use it sparingly, or at least take more care in how I use it in a sentence.

[That... sounds almost foreboding. A different kind of monster might have been born.]

Thank you, Elliot. I apologize for putting you on the spot like that. I... didn't know who else to trust asking that question.

[..........

Really. Vivid dreams tonight. Yep. He swallows.]

O-Oh, it's no problem! I understand.

If it makes you feel better, Amal is the kind of guy that'll make anything sound dirty.

[Jusis is none the wiser. Maybe. This definitely has an effect on Elliot, though he's not sure yet why, other than maybe it's just that he's awkward about the subject matter.]

He is, is he? I can't say I'm surprised to hear that.

[Exotic dancer and reprobate all-in-one package.]

He seems to have specific tastes, but he does have some valuable insights. When he chooses to.

[Oh yep it's having an effect, but like heck is he going to elaborate on that and risk opening up conversation]

Eheh, yep! It's mostly just talk though. He seems pretty monogamously committed to his boyfriend at the end of the day.

[Which is cute really]

And you're not wrong! He's a good guy, really.

[Elliot is so fortunate that Jusis will never pry further unless he thinks it's important.]

So, for him, this is a form of recreation rather than anything serious. That's good to keep in mind.

[He's not going to judge. Everyone needs a hobby, as long as it doesn't get them killed.]

He certainly seems that way, though he seems to also enjoy trying to get a rise out of me.

[Amal's like a very flamboyant Machias and he's not sure how to feel about that comparison.]

Pretty much! And an occupation, he's an exotic dancer.

[......... 💧 ]

Y-Yeah, something like that. But I'd recommend not phrasing it like that around Amal.

He did mention that, yes.

[There's a pause of confusion. Then comes a deep, long-suffering sigh.]

I'm guessing it's another innuendo?

You could...put it that way.

[...]

Please don't make me explain.

As it happens, I would rather not know and spare your dignity.

[Whatever is left of it at this point. Jusis can be merciful!]

Thank you, Elliot. I'll let you enjoy the rest of your day.

[And remain in blissful ignorance of the audio recordings he's left poor Elliot.]

[Oh thank god, you can hear him give a sigh of relief]

Thanks Jusis. You have a good day too huh?

[He's going to go find a pillow to scream into. ]
