[ the bunch of them immediately tighten around her. ]
...
It depends on your definition of alright. We've broken up, but we're still friendly with each other. Kohime deserves somebody that can dedicate themselves to her and her alone, and though I still love and care for her... that's not something I can do...
By the time she came along I was already in love with King and Nero and... she deserves the best, so as upset as I am that it ended I completely understand why it really just kind of... had to...
Mm, me too. [ sighs, tail swishing idly in the water. ]
If you could keep this to yourself until she tells you [ if she tells her. ] I'd appreciate that. I don't generally talk about my relationships, because people here like to gossip and I imagine I dealt with that enough back home.
It's part of the reason nobody knew about me and King for the longest time...
I don't care as much about the audience, since their opinions are just kind of... crazy a lot of the time. I mean, spending that much time in hell is bound to fuck up your head, but the people here can just be kind of... a pain, and my business is not any of their business.
I might be a bit of a showman, but my personal life is my own. Despite what it probably looks like I do like to keep the two separate. [ and she is kind of a private person. ]
I'd like to do more things with you and, of course, Nero. I know he's been really busy lately, what with his family having all come here at once... and then the marriage thing and getting together with Jason...
[ i think technically this is before the proposal but timey wimey whatever this is interesting to talk about ]
...mm, it's a little hard—I mean, we're both people that share well, he and I, and but it's never—entirely easy, especially when someone else is going through a hard time.
We should actually try and make more plans, then. I know... well, when I was initially seeing Sekhmet and she was still seing Kohime, it was difficult, since I sort of felt like it was fair that she should be putting Kohime first especially since I basically ruined their relationship, but we hadn't actually pinned down what we were to each other, so I didn't feel like I could ask for much anyway...
I guess all that is to say that—maybe it's a good idea to talk about what you want out of a relationship with him? People have a lot of different ideas, so sometimes you have to nail things down, I guess...
Agreed. I just like to do things, especially with the people I'm close to. I know this place kind of makes it difficult, since we never know when something's going to happen, but I would definitely like to do more. Like, we never got around to that double date.
I just know that Nero and I are boyfriend and girlfriend. I guess we've never really talked about what we are and what we want as a couple beyond that. It... definitely couldn't hurt.
I had a good time. [ she smiles down at the water. ] It was nice. I bet this is going to sound a little weird, but... I feel like I definitely got to know you a little better by, ah, getting intimidate with you. Like, I know a little bit more about you and... [ she smushes a hand into her face. ] It really does sound kind of dumb, huh?
Well—I definitely learned a few things about you, today. But, it's sort of... I get what you mean. Kind of... getting to see a different side of someone.
...mm, like, all the walls kind of come down when you get intimate with somebody and, ah, yeah. [ just going to stare at the water, her tail flitting about and making it ripple as two of her tentacles move to embrace shrike. ]

Re: day 249, bright and early!
Oh... I'm sorry, though.
I'm glad at least that it wasn't as bitter as it could be.

It's tough, either way.

Re: day 249, bright and early!
I mean, it's hardly a pain, but the avante kids give me enough shit about my love life such that I wouldn't ask for more.
Re: day 249, bright and early!
Re: day 249, bright and early!
[ they will not. ]
I hope things are better for you otherwise?

Re: day 249, bright and early!
what do you do with the postcoital snuggle impulse in this kind of situation, anyway: she sure doesn't know. ]
He loves you. He wants you to be happy, so—I'm sure even if it's a little uncertain, he'd be glad to hear you talk about it.
Re: day 249, bright and early!
Mm, at least we all have each other's best interest in mind and we want everybody else to be happy.
Re: day 249, bright and early!
...yeah. Honestly, best anyone could ask for.
I'm, er... speaking of, I should... probably ask if... or, er... how you felt, about what just happened.
[ how the fuck do you ask "was that more than one-off interest there or nah" without it being super awkward ]
Re: day 249, bright and early!
Re: day 249, bright and early!

Re: day 249, bright and early!
Re: day 249, bright and early!
she just sort of... lets that happen? it's a little cute. ]
I guess I'm a lot less, er... reserved, in that setting, it's sort of true...
Re: day 249, bright and early!
It definitely sounded like you knew what you wanted.
Re: day 249, bright and early!
Re: day 249, bright and early!
