[Oh god, he's substituting emojis in place of words. Liem spends longer than he reasonably should frowning at "silver fox" before he manages to crack its significance.
He's not even that grey!]
Is that so?
You hide it well. I couldn't tell at all.
[The one area in which Liem is consistently wilfully ignorant: recognizing when people he knows are secretly attracted to him.]
You know I work as an auditor, right? I'm not too cool for anyone.
[Liem is under no illusions. He wasn't cool when he was in his actual twenties, much less now.
But he understands not wanting to ruin a perfectly good friendship with unsolicited overtures of affection. It goes without saying that Liem tends to assume most people would be creeped out by romantic attention from someone like him.]
I've never considered it to be a bad thing when a tall, attractive man asks me on a date.
What kind of nice date would you want to take me on?
[What are the ethical ramifications of encouraging a very cute, very drunk man to divulge secrets that he wouldn't normally voice? The responsible thing to do would probably be to stick a pin in this conversation until Ryan is actually sober.
But consider also: Liem wants to see where this is going. And there is no law against letting an intoxicated person tell you what's on their mind.]
[How can a grown man who's well over six feet tall be this cute... That doesn't seem like it should be allowed.]
I was just wondering what set of circumstances led to you sending me inebriated text messages at this time of day.
My first guess was going to be that you were at a bar, but I'm revising that supposition on the basis that I doubt the staff there would let you lie on the floor.
I'm out on an errand right now, so I'll stop by in a little while.
[What's the point of being awake at basically all hours of the day and night if he can't go to go check on his friends when they send him drunk texts at random times? He's got to spend the hours when he's avoiding his bed doing something.]
[ Luckily, by the time Liem swings by, Ryan is fast asleep, curled up with Kevin on the floor and snoring softly, so there will be no additional peer pressuring or awkward drunken confessions. ]
