( Ja'far sighs as he's pulled against him, part of him relieved for the contact - part of him realizing he might've been afraid of getting rebuffed if he initiated anything himself. But, Sinbad seems quite the same, and... oh? )

You... as well? ( He blinks, surprised. He hadn't even considered the idea, let alone had thought that Sinbad had developed feelings for Aspen as well. It's almost funny. )

Well, it's... We're not exactly exclusive, and I wouldn't expect that, especially in this place. But, love is... it's a lot more than just sleeping with someone. I wasn't sure if that was... too much. Something I shouldn't breach. ( He fidgets for a moment, and then sighs again, less relieved this time, but some of his unease gone with the revelation. ) I just feel a bit silly, I suppose. I blurted it out to Aspen, half to make him feel grounded, and it was kind of a mess. ( He laughs, still nervous after that. ) I didn't even realize it until that moment.
