[Can't stop, won't stop.]

Worried I'll hear something you don't want me to?

[Okay, so maybe there's a reason he's trying to talk to Pierce directly rather than in a shared conversation. But what can you do?]

( nope. still nothing. 💁‍♂️ )

[Deep breaths. He refuses to admit that Erik was right about how much of a waste of time this is.]

You've maintained your bond with him, despite having no reason to. That, I'll never stop being grateful to you for. But I know it's something neither of you enjoy. So rather than having us continue to pester you with questions, perhaps now is the time for you to find a compromise you both agree to.

[Or perhaps, it'd just be simpler to ask-]

In return for your cooperation, what is it that you want, Pierce? From either of us.

( he will be happy to respond if he deigns to text him. but since he isn't, good talk. 👉 )

[There's nothing wrong with a little telepathy, tyvm. Much easier than carrying a phone around that he doesn't need. Which is why it's not until a few hours later, when he's reunited with his phone again, that he finally sends a single word text to Pierce.]

Well?

( there is, when the recepient has made it clear that he has no interest in it as a method of communication. )

what is your idea of a compromise?

Give him back full use of his body. Let me see if there's another way to keep his feelings from being shared with you.

Beyond him keeping his distance from you, what would you want in return?

we can start with blocking the sexual transference

if i have anything else to add, i'll let you know

I can't promise that it will work. Your magic isn't something I'm used to. But I'll certainly do my best to keep those feelings contained.

If it doesn't work as expected though, I'd appreciate you giving me the opportunity to try again before you choose to take matters in to your own hands again. Being an observer to this feud between the two of you is tiring. So I can't imagine it's much fun being on the other side of it either.
