It makes sense. I... heh, I feel like I'm not all that traditional, maybe. [ rubs the back of her neck. ] Or, like, it's not something I have thought about too often. I... I'm usually off doing something stupid. [ her lips for a tight line. ] But... I'm real glad he's got somebody like you that's capable of giving him something like that. He definitely deserves it, since his own family and home hadn't been... [ trails off. ]

Me too. He deserves all the love. [ she picks up a stone. ] I think we should get to know each other a bit better regardless of what ends up happening. And not that I know a lot about weddings, but I'd like to help too, if that's alright. [ nudge nudge nudge. ] Bachelorette~ party~ And we should absolutely try to surprise Nero one of these days with a threesome. I bet he'd look good in the middle of a hot girl sandwich. [ chuckles. ]

And don't apologize. Feelings are just a lot in general.

But thank you for saying that. [ /// ]

I mean—I'm... definitely not opposed to... that, at all—

[ ////// ]

...didn't he say you proposed a foursome?

I did mention it.

But I think starting with a threesome might be best, especially if Nero's feeling all I need to make sure everybody's happy and stuff. How about we do our best to make him happy. [ smirks. ] And if it works out, then we can roll straight on into foursome territory.

I mean [ she has to chuckle. ] I'm kind of my own threesome? foursome?? But it'll definitely be more fun with the both of you.

Yeah, ah... I'm. I'm sure.

[ she was already kind of blushing, but her cheeks go fully that dark color again. ]

Maybe if we, er... all three of us have a bit of a... day out, together, sometime soon, then.

I think planning stuff is just going to bite us in the ass... like it normally does. I mean, c'mon, how long have we been trying to get together for a double date? Since forever?

How about tonight?

...tonight?

[ sweats, ]

I... you know, I guess... why not.

If you're busy you can tell me, and I can jump the both of you tomorrow morning. [ her smirk darkens mischievously. ] We could start the day off right, and then maybe go to the mall afterward.

[ wheeze /////// ]

Tomorrow... might work better? I was also going to see Hlasoh today, too, and I—may very well end up having a late night, but...

[ gives her a Look. ]

I'm thinking that's probably going to be a strong maybe on the mall, though.

[ nod nod nod. ]

Let's do tomorrow then. And, hm, where. should. we met?

I think we should get together beforehand and pick something nice to wear and then act as though the three of us are just meeting up for something silly and then, surprise, doubleteamed.

[ she laughs at that last bit. ] I guess we'll see how we all feel.

I guess in that case... either your dorm or our dorm...?

We could make breakfast, too, I guess.

How about coming to HSS! and breakfast sounds really nice.

Should check and make sure he doesn't have plans, but–well, it's a. A date? Then?

Absolutely! and... hm. Want to subtly try to see if it is?

...I mean, I figured I'd just ask him if he'd like to spend the day with both of us tomorrow.

Is that too subtle...?

No that's fine. But see if you can't come over a little earlier. Remember~ we should find something fun for the both of us to wear.

[ ///////// ]

...oh.

Well. That. That works.

I guess also then we could... make breakfast and say that he should meet us there.

Let’s say it’s for breakfast, but we probably shouldn’t cook anything til after since it’s just gonna get cold. And breakfast is thankfully a simple enough meal, so even, ah, *tired* we should still be able to manage.

...that or we could just order breakfast, I guess. If we're feeling lazy.

Honestly... that sounds like it might be our best option. [ going to get up from the lake shore and skip the rock she’s got in hand. ]

[ she bends down to look for a rock, too—something more or less round and smooth enough to be ideal. ]

I guess so.

...I think maybe we should give him a little warning, though.

How about saying we have a sexy surprise for him? [ skips the rock to perfection. ] Maybe he’ll end up on the same page before he arrives and if not~ surprise!

[ local woman imagines herself typing the words "sexy surprise" and has a brief BSOD ]

..........something like that. I guess.

I know he's kind of worried about not really knowing if he wants things and wants to push himself a little out of his comfort zone, but I also want to make sure he has an out, you know? Just in case.

[ l o l
POOR SHRIKE. ]

Do you want me to text him?

And, sure, I don't want to make him uncomfortable either.

Sssssorry, I'm just... nervous.

I can text him right now if you like. We can do it together.
