23-06-15 I was hoping to hug you

[Milkmaid79]

Ruby's setting herself up for serious embarrassment if Julian decides to object strongly to what she's doing. He does know she's moving Dillon's hand after all, and may not like it if she's moving it to his butt, and he's strongly hetero or just doesn't think of Dillon that way.

She won't be embarrassed- it will turn out that Julian has been pining for Dillon all these years and just wasn't sure how to broach the subject.

[Milkmaid79]

It looks like Dillon may be caught between his natural inclination to flirt with handsome guys and his personal relationship with Julian.

By all accounts, Julian is a hunk and Dillon would be drawn to seduce him first chance, but this is someone he knew as a teen, someone he took care of a child. So odds are this is someone he never even considered as a sexual conquest.

i wonder what is going through his mind?

"I'm in a sex comedy where the Westermarck Effect doesn't exist"?

[Abraxas]

Either Julian's got one hell of a bear hug or Dillion's brain has had an exe malfunction

Also Ruby... respect others moments

The Director runs deep in this one...

Yeah. Her natural impulse to want everything just right, and to get bossy until it is, may be monetisable...

[LegendaryKroc]

Yeah, somebody is going to have to remind Ruby that this is quite a bit weirder for Dillon than his usual run of male encounters, and trying to lech over it is impolite in ways that don't normally apply.

Impolite? I think it's a bit more than just that.

(Cue Ruby having to be a bit more honest about her guy-on-guy fixation, so she can recognise when it needs to be turned down?) It also looks like Julian's hugs may be a little on the vigorously manly side. Maybe he needs to be locked in a ring with Jerzy...

No, mustn't give Ruby ideas.

It sure looks like he's a bear-hugger, alright. Or maybe he's just not used to Dillon not being several feet/inches taller than him (not to mention more durable) and is hugging him like he did as a kid? (hey, that rhymes) Also, I think she's already secretly working on ways to make that situation pan out. Assuming Angel's advice hasn't given her the impetus to do it herself. ;)

[Spidrift]

In real-world terms, very impolite and a little bit creepy. In Ma3-universe terms ... just a bit too enthusiastically Zii-like.

[LegendaryKroc]

All part of the humour, really.

Plus, so far it's just a little enforced grabby-hands. The sort of thing that could be explained away as a funny turn if someone asks. The real question is whether she can keep herself from doing something more ill-advised like telling them to kiss, or spraying them with sun-tan lotion like Zii has done herself in the past, go figure.

[Spidrift]

I'd be amused if Julian turns out to be a bit of an amiable but sexist dudebro type. "Hey man, what's up with the chick with the grabby hands thing? She yours?"

Further on, if Ruby calms down a bit, I could also see her telling Dillon that no, she doesn't know how it feels to meet someone who you liked as a kid, because there's no way that she could find herself in that situation...

This reminds me of an episode of Castle.

Castle meets his daughter's babysitter, who's now an adult model and goes "Noooo." Ruby on the other hand see's someone Dillion used to babysit and thinks "They should hook up!" She obviously hasn't thought this through enough to realize, as hot as he may be, to Dillion he'd most likely always be that little boy he babysat.

PLUS he might be 100% straight and might like girls of the "Ruby's type" LOL

Hmm, as of more recent strips I don't think that's tenable anymore.

[wiseguy]

actually, there is still a chance that "grown-up things" is going to bars and such as so many said even before Julian asked for beers, not man to man seduction

is most probable Julian desires Dillon, but is not 100% assured

[Don Alexander]

I guess as of now, no chance anymore...
