[There's no disguising the embarrassed edge to Zenyatta's voice, though if not for their last conversation on the art of love Spy might have trouble recognising it for what it is; it is rare that he feels ashamed of anything.]

In your opinion-- how morally objectionable is it to be attracted to a lover's relation?

[crabbmarche]

[Of all the people he's come to know, he only somewhat expected Zenyatta to call him at some point. And with this tinge of embarrassment in his voice, Spy just has to hear this out.]

'Relation' as in familial? Not in the least, unless your relationship is meant to be monogamous.

[tekhartha]

[He hums softly, and though he tries to keep his tone as carefully neutral as ever Spy might notice that he sounds just a touch unconvinced.]

Well-- not specifically. But they have a somewhat complex relationship. And I am his master.

[crabbmarche]

[Whoa - 'master'? This might be above his paygrade.]

Hm. I dare say that's already something of a conflict of interest. But if you're simply talking about attraction, then there's nothing objectionable about it. Attraction in itself is natural and, for the most part, can't be helped.

[tekhartha]

Ah, yes. Of course. [aaand now he's flustered, though he seems to get ahold of himself before he speaks again.] I do not think he would be interested in me regardless. It had simply- crossed my thoughts.

[more sincerely:] Thank you, my friend.

[tekhartha]

[......... and then, several days later]

I am no longer simply talking about attraction.

[help.]

[crabbmarche]

[Spy had a feeling that the last message wasn't quite the end o the story, but he'd assumed whatever happened next wouldn't involve him. So imagine his surprise when Zenyatta enters his inbox yet again.]

It escalated, I take it?

[tekhartha]

It did.

[Overly cautious intonation, a tremor of fear, concern- his voice has all the hallmarks of someone afraid that he has, for want of a better term, fucked up.]

I have only myself to blame. I knew that there was an attraction, and I allowed it to overtake my better judgement.

[crabbmarche]

In your defense, this place does seem to have a way of making our judgment questionable.

[Speaking from personal experience here. Zen seems really shaken up about it, though... oh, to be young.]

And what do you plan to do now?

[tekhartha]

Be that as it may, it would be wrong of me to deny all responsibility...

[He sighs softly.]

I am not sure. I do not think Hanzo will want to hear of it, yet it feels wrong to keep it from him.

[crabbmarche]

Hm.

[...Yeah, that’s all he’s got to offer right now. Personal experience suggests ’tell him you’ve been tasked with a dangerous mission and then disappear to another continent’. That’s almost the advice he gives.]

Well. If your conscience prevents you from simply forgetting it and moving on, a confrontation seems inevitable. And in that case, there’s no need to mince words.
