[Returning to the bathtub was truly tempting. The air in the open felt cool against Richard skin, making it to raise goosebumps around his arms, compared to the inviting warm steam surrounding the tub.]
Aye, you have. [He does not rebuke nor deny Silco's words. The man had been there for him numerous times by now, standing by his side while also blowing the life back to the embers suffocating under the weight of the charred logs. The man had filled him with confidence and helped him to gain sight of the vision he once had. All acts that he was grateful for and what made him want to bind himself to the other man more.
Richard missed the time with Silco. The idea of them returning back to that was pleasant one. Something that he wanted. Except if it wasn't for...
Richard walked back to the tub, but instead of stepping back in the water he set himself to sit on the porcelain edge.]
A distraction, then. [He repeats, accepting the word. Honestly, to him it was just the same as the 'filler' as it formed similar meaning. No matter how 'pleasant' he and his company might be he will always serve as nothing but a distraction from something, a temptation. Like Jane and the other lovers had been to Edward. Fine, it's something Richard can work with. ]
Your daughter contacted me not too long ago. She told me she was planning on leaving you and asked me to 'take care of you.' [Something that he had denied to do. Oh, there is no doubt that Richard would stand by Silco's side when the man would spiral back into depths of despair once again. But he wouldn't do it for her.]
If you truly want us to share the closeness and the living spaces again then don't request it because of her. She disapproves of your lover and you disapprove hers and so does the wheel spin around and around. But that's a game I am not going to take part to, for I am not a pawn for either of you. If I am not a filler then don't make this about her.
