I have to wonder if it’s not a bit of a red herring and Devon feels the compassion for possibly a major twist either his best friend or his twin brother; I could see you such a twist being a possibility and Davin just being very empathetic and compassionate.

Oh it’s very much the same way among heterosexual men here, with some exceptions; hospitals, funerals, family reunions, etc. But do not greet an acquaintance or business associate with that big ole hug.

A very dirty game to Libel and Slander personal lives of your partners …especially your own current boyfriend ! Evil, disrespectful, and I’m a very unforgiving man when done such wrongs. It says so much about the character of Noah; which is lacking. Yeah, I think Noah gets his boyfriend card returned and not even friends unless he publicly apologizes and tells the truth.

Wow, quite the chapter. Noah just as we observed with his house visit; he knows the proper things to say when he wants make an impression. Nicky does fit in Noah’s need to impress anymore, as they are boyfriends and that makes Noah entitled and boyfriend should fulfill his entitlements. 🤦‍♂️ Goodness, even at 14 can’t you asked him “would you like to try…,” I’ve been reading and some of this sounds like the way I feel about you, blah, blah, Nope, Noah did lights, the Lava lamp, music, cologne, deodorant, and he was only in underwear to answer the door without saluting anyone else… now let’s get you stripped down, Nicky, and let’s….

This boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really turning it on now He's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second The ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the throw And what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first Here he comes, he's out! No, wait, safe--safe at second base This kid really makes things happen out there Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch, he's going And what a jump he's got. He's trying for third, here's the throw It's in the dirt, safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out there Almost daring him to try and pick him off The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it's bunted Bunted down the third base line, the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, here's the throw, here's the play at the plate Holy cow, I think he's gonna make it! [Verse 3: Ellen Foley] Stop right there!

If Ezra does turns actively bad, with Enrico teaching him spy trade, it may be that hit order on him or Enrico that does it. How ironic that quiet and seemingly innocent Ezra could take out the all mighty Sinclair in a plan meant to isolate them from the loose end connection to Northern Aegis; turn about of Sinclair’s thinking, kill or be killed comes to mind.

Depends on the neighborhood…

I tend to agree, but I had a friend that was very tactile as you called it so appropriately. He was so sensitive and caring. Even through time, he still is and you can bet you’ll get a hug once the first introduction is made, you are a known acquaintance, so hugs after that. German heritage and raised by mom. Having been terribly distraught years ago, he recognized that I was very down and out, he came up to me held my head while looking into my eyes, then he gave my a full lipped kiss, then while still holding my head he looked into my eyes and said I know you hurt, but we’re all here…this is where we all belong, where you belong. He has never show me or the other close friends a gay side, but he will read you and act when you need that sincerity that I’m with you brother.

The old saying that popped into my head as I read your comment was…TWO WRONGS DON’T MAKE A RIGHT. I still hear dad saying that even now. This is so true though, especially with retaliation breaking out nuclear dirty bombs, sinking a submarine as Plan B, and thinking the next terrorist is any more or less justified than you to push their agenda; dominoes? Set them up again guys, we have yet another terrorist taking the world stage.

Lacey is somewhat like the female Cody. The beautiful age of transition from total innocence to thinking they’re grown up and ready to make their own decisions…yet knowing they’re real not ready but yet still flapping their new wings to get the feel of possibilities. 🦅

Poor Celia, even her heart hurt to see Joel’s possessions tossed much the way she probably believes Joel’s parents did their son himself. Beyond the haphazardly boxed clothes, I believe she probably wasn’t totally happy with the volume of selections salvaged in these few boxes.

The undertones of Joel being curious to see, yet not want to join the fence team. Yet later, yearning to possibly walk down there to join. It’s great that he is somewhat allowing his human instincts for socialization to take hold. His former family and especially Cody where his safe place…now lost and leaving his small world even too small to tolerate being alone. 😢 Trace is already very much vested in Joel. Joel needs to understand their help and support is GIVEN FREELY and does carry a note of debt. Joel may start to understand more as he gains socialization with the boys and comes to realize he himself is becoming vested; first through his gratitude of rescue, then help, but now as they learn each other’s expectations, it’s hard to miss their sincerity in wanting him to be welcome…for as long as he wants. Which may before long, become an expectation that you’re one of us and you ain’t going nowhere without an expected return date! 🤲 Davin seems to be a delight. Very relaxed but perhaps more clairvoyant than his casual and playful demeanor has suggested previously. I’m not saying he knows enough to put Joel’s situation in context, but knows that he has to be hurting, perhaps more understanding that Joel shows how he feels, perhaps out of place whether unwelcome or unworthy. He made the effort to get to Joel, but help Joel know a little more about them. The sagging shoulders of Davin looking upon the bed that they probably know wasn’t slept in, but with Joel saying he wouldn’t be sleeping tonight… How do you leave a person feeling themselves an outsider and so troubled that they say sleep is/will be impossible. I believe the excuse of his twin spread across the bed may be more from his compassion than forwardness with a sensitive gaydar. Yes, at their ages sleep with a friend or having casual contact is not necessarily marking Davin as other than a compassionate and sensitive guy trying to help a lost soul not fly towards the light. 😇 Should Davin turn out to be gay, it doesn’t necessarily mean they will find mutual interest, but perhaps mutual understanding and support.

Why? Is he so self conscious that he can’t have a gay friend or acquaintance treated the same as others? That plays into the stereotypes of you can’t socialize with “them “ as you might catch the illness…of which is really nothing other than the assumption that by socializing with them it makes you one; though you may be and remain firmly in the virgin category. Somehow, I don’t see Davin as one to worry so much about assumptions. Perhaps he has his own history of hurt that touches him more than being thought gay because it shared an innocent bed.

How terribly ironic that a ruthless international terrorist/killer feels he is justified to the extent that mass killings and playing with dirty nuclear devices is justified. Yet the very circles of these “honorable” terrorist are all working their own angles to manipulate power and people to their own advantage; none trustworthy. Regardless of political leanings the election interference by international terrorism is nothing but a demented fool’s errand that people will and share respond as they so mandate…huh? Enrico has severe mental health issues, so obsessed in his vengeance that wilts an otherwise brilliant mind, that could achieve so much good, that it makes the him much worst than any claimed villain he hopes to out smart. What a waste of his intelligence.

Stay calm, and no unnecessary exertions guys 😚 , we are now in low oxygen protocols. A very good point there @drpaladin, since it’s hours vs days I would think it’s well within the critical timeline, but moving manpower and locking down compartments complicates the issue. God forbid issues with a breach involving air contamination… Perhaps again, protocols or Andrews inputs may have security prepared for these issues.

Don’t forget they’re preparing to do some docking, receiving a DSV, to recover seaman that may otherwise be lost before fulfilling their destiny. Definitely sounds like a hot and bothered night at a local Club Eros, cuming to a gayborhood near you; an asset to the community, uniting people to live and love their neighbors.

Ahhh, Andrew should be regaining his full faculties as we proceed. He knows the dangers hidden within the Northern Aegis corporation so as the operation moves towards docking there may be enough expectation and preparation to receive this wonderful rescue team; perhaps they’ll still be allowed to place those charges and set the timers as appropriately commanded by the Intelligence Officer requires. After all, this asset still holds too many valuable secrets to allow it to languish for other countries to possibly recover and gleam military secrets far beyond just the Acheron itself. The true shame of it all is that the mercenaries would be able to return topside versus leaving them suffer the fate of their planned sabotage; perhaps they’ll be allowed interrogation should be done before allowing them to joint the returning crewmen to topside. 🤔 Now that’s some real pressure to face when truthful answers will be your passage topside. 😆 Got to love turnabout on treasonous mercenaries, especially for profiteering on the deaths of young patriots.

And heated to accelerate patient recovery…it is the med bay. 😆

Enquiring minds want to know, is he gay, bi, curious; guess I’ll have to listen and hope?

Don’t talk with your mouth full…give it time to come to you.

Such compassion for the commuter minds and souls. ❤️ Having seen it and the commuters of Tokyo, it seems a human experience of mind numbing torture for a daily event.

Understand Min is straight, but he is very animated, very much alert, and observant, then he speaks intelligently on those observations and their meanings to Troy. So a gay version of Min would be what Troy is looking for. That’s not to say that Theo can’t be reached behind his isolationist shell, but based on what we’ve learned so far he his not Troy’s type; he’s too quiet and non interactive…thus far.

But Caleb is not claiming that the person is anything but an alibi, not a possible suspect. So justifying DNA tests and fingerprints for a person that has no witness even putting them there on that night is unlikely. Now if Caleb or anyone else said a person known to frequent that barn, came from the barn with an axe that night or had reason/motive then a suspect they could be. Preserving those items may be worthwhile though, as other witnesses or Caleb may yet come forward.
