King Elk Forest oh, i just can't wait to be king!

this is definitely not the direction he anticipated this conversation going, and he can't help but squirm slightly. she's not wrong at least. it is early enough in the season that someone can surprise him, though he hadn't really thought about it beyond his own love triangle. (actually, more pressingly: does mato want kids? not that they're dating - ha, no, of course not, they're nothing and will never be anything even if delight feels dangerously close to the precipice -- but it's something to obsess over think about.)

"maybe," he says, looking away self consciously. "i think i - i mean i'm mostly not into women, but i know - alternative arrangements, and all of that." ahem. he looks back at her with a small sigh, and admits, "i hadn't really thought about it in regards to myself, honestly." it isn't such a bad thought, he has to admit, but ... there's so many other variables, he has no idea how to feel about it at all. "what about you?" he lobs back because fair is fair and also he doesn't want to keep talking about his sexuality and lack of sex life, god.
