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.
