Watching Iskandar just toss the hot piece of food in his mouth without a flinch was a gift, or a concern that he couldn't actually feel pain from that. Or was it merely that he chose not to notice? Hm.

Sam's much slower in eating his food, blowing on it to ready it for when he takes a bite. Course he'd been absentmindedly blowing on it for a bit now, mulling over things rather then eating. "How Jim approached you on the matter wasn't right, but... while you two are working things out, maybe you should both give each other some slack? You and Jim are a lot alike in some ways, but you both approach Relationships," yes with a capital 'R', "differently. Maybe just keep that in mind? I mean... he isn't the only one that keeps things bottled up rather then confronting the problem straight on."

He was guilty of that himself a lot of times. It just sounded like a lot of feelings had gotten hurt on either side, and he just wanted them to work things out, rather then holding things against each other. Obviously it would take a long time regardless.

"One is allowed to bottle. However, one is not allowed to bottle then use that for trapping another into confrontation months later when they are with me. I will not ask anyone to change how they handle their feelings but I will ask for respect if I am to be confronted or scolded for my actions. For that reason, no, I will not go easy on this. He and I must rebuild and that is that. It is because I love him so fiercely that I cannot cut him some slack as you ask."

Because his trust had been shaken by someone he held so dear. Iskandar was a man who opened his heart fully and truly then left it to others to decide what to do with that. To have that broken by someone that had accepted him was an act he could not treat lightly.

Iskandar reached over to rest his hand on Sam's shoulder though, a smile on his face.

"Do not worry, Sam. Things will work out. He has come to me and we have begun the rebuilding. Time will show us where this takes us now."

The smile he returns is small, clearly laced with concern, but he nods his head regardless to indicate that he trusts Iskandar's words on that. This was something both Iskandar and Jim would have to work out in their own way. That probably was going to be the difficult part; supplying support but still staying neutral.

"Well you know me... always going to worry." Partially because this all happened over some love letters written to him. Reaching up he lightly pat the hand on his shoulder and let out a breath. "Well, thank you again for the food. It is quite good. I didn't even realize they had something like this here."

"Well if you are done eating, will you now sit on me? I do wish to hold you and I think I behaved myself well enough." He chuckled and held open his arms. Mostly he just loved to cuddle the man close and spoil him with affection. It wasn't that the other two didn't but more that he felt his size truly helped him to do it in a very special way.

"Come here."

Sam cannot help himself in what sounds like the start of a laugh, but it is quickly quieted with the help of him putting a closed fist in front of his mouth, though it does little to hide the grin. Iskandar's intentions are innocent enough, always being one for affection, but how he had said it certainly was amusing.

It never was 'sit with me' like you would normally hear, no, it was 'sit on'. Sam does get up, but instead of sitting on Iskandar, like the man informed, the mage instead grabs his hands and tugs to indicate to get on his feet. "Yes, yes, you behaved very well, but let's take this to the sofa. That'll be more comfortable."

[OoC: I'm good with ending it with that, since we're both trying to let go of older tags.]
