[[His government issued device got dropped to the floor like it had burned him 0.2 seconds after his eyes took in the word 'kinky'. It stayed on the floor while Daryl wracked his brain for any reason Newt would be sending him that message. Of course with the number of alternate timelines they'd all experienced the month prior, it wasn't hard to come up with one. Shit. Did Newt think they were engaged instead of him and Hermann? Sure looked like it.
It took him a minute to pick the damn thing back up and send a response. If nothing else he'd learned about the timeline memories crap, bucking the trend just made things harder for the ones affected to accept that their memories weren't right. Which meant he'd have to go along with this.... Shit.]]
Why don't you tell me instead? Professor.
[[He did not want visuals to go along with whatever he was about to read. He already felt dirty enough. Gonna need some brain bleach whenever this passed.]]
Ok, no, don't, not really, but what do I have to do so Hermann never hears about this? or mako? no, never mind, she basically already knows if you know
no homo. I get it. You only played along to punch me. I get it. Don't worry.
Dude, I'm not worried about Hermann being upset or whatever because you played along. I'm worried he's never going to let me hear the end of this for how this should teach me to not send these kinds of messages and whatever
He's also going to be hella embarrassed.
And...our Drift is always on. So there's so much feedback, at some point, you just learn to tune it out. It's like living with someone and they're doing their thing and you do yours, and you only listen when you tune in. Or things get loud.
He'll probably pick it up later, because I'll get anxious. Or he could nose in, but he generally doesn't.

I only played along so I could get you close enough to sock you good. You understand?
