Aside from having his sexuality used as a joke on multiple occasions, Apollo had never given it much thought. It was just something that was a part of him and he'd never tried to hide it. So he didn't have much experience to go off of when it comes to the 'coming out' process.

But he did understand the look that crossed Vanyel's face when he was lost in thought. Or maybe it was memories. If Apollo had to guess, Vanyel probably lost someone. That at least, he has some experience in. He nodded in understanding after Vanyel finally spoke.

"Yeah. Truth is, I hadn't seen him in years before I was brought here. Long story." He paused, as if considering what he was going to say next. "How about you? Do you...have anyone special?"
