[ambrose decides he's not going to feel old and envious right now. and he's also decided he really isn't spying for sabrina, although he'll have to hope against hope that he isn't about to learn anything she doesn't yet know.]
Is it different, when you fancy a mortal? Or if you're in love, I suppose.
[ambrose wonders about the experience of it. it's been awhile, since he truly fell in love.]
[He goes quiet a moment, but it's not a bad silence. It's a considering one. Is it different? Yes, and no. Nick is only 18. He doesn't have the same kind of age that Ambrose has, the same perspective on time yet. Reggie is his age, and right now that doesn't mean anything. In twenty, thirty, forty years?
Then things will change.]
It's not different. Not really. It feels the same. But I know I'm young. I know that soon, I'll look like this and he...won't.
[He touches his mouth a little, careful.]
It's almost easier. Freeing. He doesn't play games. He just says what he wants and they're all just...pleasant desires. Sabrina's the same, you know. She doesn't feel like a witch, sometimes. She has all that magic, all that power, but-
-she doesn't think it's fun to play those power games.
[that's true. ambrose has lived with sabrina for most of his life, and she does feel more like the mortals she went to school with than the witches she was raised by, most of the time. ambrose nods his head thoughtfully.
power games are what got him into his house arrest to begin with. becoming a pawn to one. which he had only done out of love, himself.]
Have you had a talk about it with him? [it would be unimaginable back home, but they're all out of the proverbial closet.] The passage of time. How relevant or completely and utterly meaningless that might be here. I suppose there are little demands that come with being boyfriends.
[it's not the same as a marriage, after all. and even ambrose is young for that.]
[ambrose's mouth turns downward at the corners faintly. sympathy. he is grateful that sabrina chose the path of the night. that's not a discussion he would like to have to wait ten years to have, if he would have to have it at all.] There's sweetness to him, Reggie, [he says eventually.] I'm sure Sabrina sees it too.
[that's probably even part of the problem.]
I just hope that we're all hale and healthy by the time this month blows over. [he stands slowly, and offers nick his hand.] No chance you've got any other good Dominants in mind, who you'd trust her with?
[on impulse, ambrose leans across to kiss the other warlock on the forehead. if asked later, he wouldn't know why. to try and dispel any lingering sexual tension between them perhaps— a bit of a vain effort, considering nick remains as hot as ever. but he did promise sabrina he'd behave himself, as much as that's possible.
and real gratitude. truly, he can see why she likes him.]
Let me know if you need any sort of aid in these coming months, Scratch. We've all made friends in places low and high. [he smiles.]

[He asks it gently, without judgement, and without defensiveness. He's being open; he doesn't mind the questions, really.]

[He shrugs a little.]
It seems early for that. To discuss my lack of mortal aging.

Probably.
But none I'd be happy her signing with.
[He says it with a slight sigh.]
Tell her to choose well.
