[Elspode]

Vodka and Diet Coke w/lime, because it works, and is tasty. Somehow, I think LJ and I would get on famously in person.

Some of you may remember that I noted that Mrs Elspode and I had been polyamorous (for those of you in Australia, that means that we used to do other people, but were still the primary coupling in any given situation) earlier in our relationship. We've bounced in and out of that status a couple of times over the years, but have been monogamous for about five years now...until tonight.

Mrs Elspode is out on her first tryst of the new arrangement, and I'm feeling vulnerable, happy, worried, secure and just generally a mess. She's with a very trusted, longtime friend and confidant of both of ours with whom she's had a flirting relationship for nearly a decade. He has a steady lady, she and I are good, and it is all for fun on her part and his.

More vodka, bartender.
