[this is why it's a shame that he can't just talk to kyle and loni about these matters; because they would agree with him and make it even more impossible for judas to deny.

but that's not the case, so stahn will nod his head and let out a quiet hum. judas understands that his mind won't be changed, and stahn intends to respect judas' boundaries and try to whittle away at them in the same manner he always had in the past.

for now, he lets it go. because as much as he wants those things to be understood, he can't turn off the idea of making sure judas is happy, healthy, and comfortable.

in the end... that's what he thinks is most important here. so rather than dwell, he moves with the flow of the conversation.]

A few days, maybe? Next week at the latest. I don't think Rutee will mind with our reasons, and Kyle is here to help anyway.
