He can grow so many parts...

[verminous]

That doesn't mean he did!

[egodist]

Did you think about it as an option?

[verminous]

I- well, he asked what my preference was, first, but nothing that strange happened...

[egodist]

I suppose he is considerate.

[amused. just so amused,]

And what, it only happened once? Seems like a waste.

[nooooOOOOOOO]

[verminous]

...guess we have at least one more night...

[I HATE IT HEEEERE]

[egodist]

Poor Ragnvindr.

[he doesn't sound that sympathetic]

[verminous]

I'd just go somewhere else this time!

... probably.

[egodist]

There was more space in the Helly Belly.

[stop]

[verminous]

Wait, why are we still discussing this ...

[egodist]

[shrugs]

Seemed easier on your ego than your other failed confession.

[but they are at the bar now,]

[verminous]

Not sure which is more embarrassing, the failed confessions or this....

[immediately getting a stiff drink.]

[egodist]

[scien still has work to do so he's just getting a glass of wine

but,]

Why is it plural.

[verminous]

[fuck.

sorry he's busy taking a long drink]

[egodist]

How many.

[verminous]

Guess this is technically three, he's... said he can't really do actual relationships. This week's probably it.

[egodist]

Who was the third?

How easily swayed is your heart?

[STOP]

[verminous]

That's big talk from a guy who just turned his feelings back on the other day.

[takes another drink]

Arthur. Didn't intend on anything, kissing him just sort of... happened, then he preemptively turned me down.

[egodist]

I don't know. Seems like I didn't need all of my emotions to be working when Dion and I figured things out between us weeks ago.

[scien's love life is shockingly so neat and orderly]

Why is that guy so popular... Is it the air of awkwardness and feeling like you're trapping an anxious animal.

[verminous]

Sure, rub it in...

[having a love life is bad actually.]

... it's nothing like that. He's a good guy, y'know.

[egodist]

You spoke to me in challenge.

[and he answered... but scien shrugs. he won't argue. he doesn't dislike arthur or like him, it's just neutrality]

Probably. The appeal must be something I don't understand, given how popular he seems to be.

[verminous]

...yeah, if Dion's your type, I figure Arthur probably wouldn't be.

[egodist]

[he looks thoughtful about that]

... I don't know if I have a type.

[brief intermission to say scien does. he has a type, but he's not consciously aware of it. anyway, he takes a sip of his wine]

I was not interested in love and romance. And I suppose I'm still not.

But I am interested in him. And if that means broadening my horizons for the sake of what might bring him happiness, then so be it.

[scien is so obsessive and particular—but it's also why he finds gregor's variety of crushes so fascinating. it's so different from his own single-minded all or nothing mentality.]

[verminous]

...I don't know, I think that sounds surprisingly romantic, actually.

[egodist]

[scien tilts his head. he clearly doesn't intend for it to be, but he really is so naturally romantic. terrible]

Then I suppose that is incidental.
