The Perk - Early Monday...

Shane sits at her usual table, feet curled up in the seat, a book cradled in her lap. A cup of Black Death sits steaming rather innocuously in its mug on the table in front of her, but only occasionally does she reach over to pick it up and take a sip. Sitting next to the mug is a notebook and occasionally, Shane will drag it down off of the table and pull the pen from the corner of her mouth in order to jot something down.

"Does it make it uncomfortable for you to be around this person? Knowing how she feels, I mean?" He pauses for a moment, frowning. "What if it were a man -- how would you feel about it then?"

"Feelings don't come with a gender attached to them, Geoff," Shane says reasonably, a small grin quirking her lips. "If this was a guy, it'd be the same thing. I mean... I'm not used to that, but... I don't think it wouldn't be any different." Finally, she just shrugs, smiling. "I don't know."

"And... no, it -- it doesn't make me uncomfortable," she says, shaking her head. "Why should it? I mean... she was honest with me and that takes a lot of guts. That's hard. I really admire her for that. Especially since I'd already told her I had a girlfriend."

Geoff nods, looking contemplative. "So what you're telling is...that I'm probably worried about nothing, because it won't make any difference to Ten and won't interfere with our friendship. All right. Do you believe that's the case? Because...I think you've spent a lot more time talking to him than I have. I think you know more about him, and I'd really like to know how you think he's reacting."

Taking one last sip from her mug, Shane places it back on the table and folds her arms over her chest again. "I can't tell you what he's thinking or how he's reacting, Geoff," she says evenly. "But no, I -- I don't think it'll interfere. Unless you want it to."

He nods, and smiles a little. "I know you can't know what he's thinking. I just...want your read on it. If you say you don't think it'll matter, then I'll accept that."

Giving her a puzzled frown, he adds, "And why keep bringing up the idea of my wanting it to interfere? I like Ten, Shane. The purpose of telling him...it wasn't to try and ruin our friendship. I don't want that."

"I know," she says, nodding. "I'm not saying you were trying to, either. It's just that... sometimes we want things and don't even really admit it to ourselves, sometimes. Sometimes we don't even realize that we want them. I'm not saying that you're trying to ruin the friendship, but... maybe... you want it to be ... more than that."

Geoff shakes his head adamantly. "He asked me to tell him, Shane. It wasn't my idea, I didn't even want to talk about it." He gives Shane a rueful smile. "You know how hard it was for me to even tell you. But he wouldn't take no for an answer."

He laughs a little at his last statement, and shrugs.

"So he wanted to talk about it... maybe he was picking up hints from you that you were interested," Shane suggests.
