Ridley smiled at him warmly, it was a friendly thing. Inclusive.

“Would you like to join us?”

Tor blinked.

This, he decided almost instantly, was one of those situations where his backwoods upbringing was going to fail him horribly if he wasn't careful. Half of him wanted to hit Ridley for even trying something with his wife, though by their cultural training what they were doing was normal. Inviting him was even incredibly polite and understanding on Ridley's part really, if Tor was finally getting the rules for this kind of thing. It meant the other boy was basically announcing them true friends.

The other half of him wanted to run away, possibly screaming and maybe, just maybe, defensively wetting himself. Deep inside his personal battle cry rang out. Run away!

Instead, possibly showing how stupid he really was, Tor froze and blinked a little.

He was so not ready to have sex with a woman while another man participated. It was hard enough if someone else was just watching for goodness sake. But how did he say that without seeming rude or mean? Tor took a breath and decided to just start speaking.

“Um, well, that's a very kind offer. Thank you. Could I get with you on that later though? I really just came to check on Ali, then I have to get some work done before dinner. First almost real day back you know.” That, he hoped, would be nice enough. By the noble standards he'd been told that he came across as aloof or even stuck-up a lot, which was bad, but this was also pretty awkward.

Giving him a smile the other man nodded.

“OK. Let's get together in a couple of days for that then? If you're not too busy?”
