[She isn't even sure what to address first. If she says she'd want someone to actually treat her with some kind of tenderness and actually be fond of her, that sounds...

Well. Mushy and sappy and sentimental and incredibly stupid, which is exactly why she didn't have that conversation to begin with. But he also seems to be serious? But he also seems to be settling?

No, no. It's a terrible idea. Why is she even entertaining it? Especially the part about—

No. She doesn't need to try to imagine that. To let him save face (and to provide herself a very easy way to evade having to address this), she decides to very smoothly not say anything about it at all.]

Perhaps only under the guise of some poorly-represented leadership. On my part, I mean. You're lovely. Gods, I can barely think straight now.

I'm so sorry for him btw

well next time someone is obviously flirting with you or sending you looks, I'll let you know

Don't be. This has had me laughing my whole night. I love him to pieces.

[divinestrike]

If you're going to go that far, just come up with some convincing story about I'm not available or something. Then I don't have to look and sound as stupid with them as I do with you.

GOOD haha i dont want to make you uncomfortable! he is an absolute disaster, sob

[cloudofdaggers]

you dont sound stupid. I'm sure you don't look stupid either.

besides, what if you're interested back?

NEVER. I am impervious to discomfort!

[divinestrike]

If I'm interested back, I'm going to keep it wrapped up tightly. I don't do well with those conversations. As you've just now witnessed firsthand. Yes, I'm sure someone out there will think that's likely awkwardly charming, but still. Terribly embarrassing.

...well, have it your way. I support you.

all of this stays between us, I promise.

[divinestrike]

Believe me, if something happens where I magically find myself in that situation, you'll most likely hear about it. Because I'll be coming to you to ask you what I'm supposed to do about it.

And I suppose if you hear... anything about interest, just let me hear about it. I'll try to be a little more open-minded.

[cloudofdaggers]

youd really take my advice on that sort of thing? things must be more dire than I thought.

[divinestrike]

I think your approach is better than mine. I trust your judgement over mine in this field. I can't be you and that, I know, but perhaps I can emulate it at the very least.

[cloudofdaggers]

alright well...

i'll try to keep your general sweetness and innocence in mind when i give you advice. i don't think you would get much good out of jumping into bed with random strangers.

[divinestrike]

That. Is probably true. I don't tend to share my bed roll with anyone. Unless someone winds up there by accident, in which case, I just let them have it. Plenty of bed rolls to go around, after all.

[cloudofdaggers]

...of course you do.

Good to know.

[divinestrike]

...Why do I feel like the next time you see me skulking about, you're just going to assume I surrendered my bed for the night?

[cloudofdaggers]

Will I be wrong?

[divinestrike]

I do plenty of things when I think everyone else is sleeping. I get things ready for the next day. I pray to Selûne. I go bathe and wash my hair. So it might not be because my bed's been thieved for the night.
