Parker rolls his shoulders and scans the room. He's wearing long sleeves and smells faintly of hospital. He's hurt. He's here.

He wonders if it's a theme.

*He half-smiles.* Not short for Thomas, either.

"I'm going to keep calling you that," Parker threatens. "Much more formal."

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

You're into formality?

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

"Nope," Parker raises an eyebrow. "Do I look like I am?"

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*Thom rolls his eyes.* No. I'd know.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

"That was a dig," Parker grins. "Thomas."

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

You're as bad as Court.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

"Who's Court?" Parker asks.

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

Funny.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

"Ah, well, then I'm the jester in this court?" Parker says it dryly.

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

If you're up to the colored tights, sure.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

Parker dips his head, "Is that a hint, Thom? You want to see me in tights? High heels, maybe?"

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*Thom looks confused.* What?

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

Parker grins. "In my world, men who wear tights, also tend to dress like women."

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*He blinks.*

Different times, huh.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

"I guess," Parker shrugs. "There's something interesting about perverting social norms. I'd do it, if I thought I had the legs for it."

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

'Snot that hard.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

Parker raises an inquisitive eyebrow.

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*Thom just blinks at him.

What?

All the guys do it.*

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

"And you're speaking from experience?" Parker asks.

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

Sure. It's normal in Tortall.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

Parker tilts his head, looks at Thom, and says, "I bet."

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

. . . what's that supposed to mean.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

Parker blinks. Slowly. He's making a point. "Thom," he says finally, in a nobody that pretty and smart is this stupid voice.

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*Thom rolls his eyes.* Jester.
