To Glam's continued delight, more kissing sessions happen on the following days (when they're feeling like a boy). They haven't met her parents as her official boyfriend or girlfriend or whatever yet, and don't mind it too much.
News about Purity's escape surprises exactly no one, but the Protectorate's reputation suffers a blow because of the attack; after all, the heroes were beaten on their home turf. The PHO forums are abuzz, though rumors of Glam's death at the hands of Hookwolf (probably started by same) prove largely unfounded.
And Glam really should get to their webisodes and start building a steadier rep. And that's (one of the reasons) why they're in Lorica's workshop a few days later.
"So what should I do? I haven't posted anything since Purity, should probably make this more of a habit."
"No, I don't think so. Am I just going to keep discovering new details of what turns you on forever or does this bottom out somewhere eventually?"
"...I think we're done with the boats unless you want to take the footage of slicing one in half now?"
They think about it, but eventually shake their head. "Not feeling too inspired, I'll do that later."
"Okay." Back to HQ, then. "...I should probably mention that, like, I'm on board with the whole I'm in charge thing but it isn't actually a kink on my end? It's like, I basically think I should be in charge of everything and suppress this opinion when it's socially unacceptable. I don't know if that makes a difference."
"I'm fine with that," they say agreeably. "I count myself pretty lucky that you're even as on board with it as you are. Lucky, or perhaps terribly observant."
"Well, there's always the possibility I on some level knew all along you'd be on board with it."
"I will have to work harder to tone down my socially unacceptable opinions."
"Yes. It wouldn't do to get me all hot and bothered in public like that." Pause. "Unless it would..."
"It wouldn't. And most people would have other reactions."
They laugh. "In any case, you can definitely be in charge of me. Well, I'll still have opinions about stuff and make decisions, but, you know."
"Yes, having opinions and making decisions is a recurring feature among my possessions."
