[ laughs. ] I'm kind of, like, fresh out of points, so I'm going to need to do some lives to recoup, but I'll pick up the tools when I'm able. Just think of all of the cool stuff we could sculpt, and the fact that it's out of metal just automatically makes it 75% cooler. I'm actually really excited about this.
[ if she were looking at him she probably would have immediately realized just how uncomfortable he had become, but of course she had decided to close her eyes. what poor timing! however, she's not left in the dark for long, her eyes opening when he addresses her, head tipping back, so she can meet his gaze and... ] Yeah? [ she feels her stomach knot, because this can really only be, like, one of two things, right? ]
Oh. [ n- not what she had been expecting, but she hadn't really been completely honest with him either, but that's no on him so much as it's on her. they hadn't defined this, as made clear, which is becoming a bit of a problem. they should... they should fix that. ] I like you a lot too. Like, a whole lot. And, ah, [ her mouth hangs open for an extra second when he admits his own crush, her face coloring pink and then turning a few shades darker as she tips her head down. ] Y- Yeah? For real? [ of course for real, stupid, or he wouldn't have said it. ] I'm glad, because you're totally my best friend and I've been crushing on you since, like, the beginning. You're super cool and cute and... lots of... stuff.
[ she lifts up her hands. ] B- But, no, hold up, I'm totally ok with you liking and dating Shrike! She's cool too. I'm kind of dating King, actually. [ we haven't used the word dating, but we're dating. hng. this is complicated. ] I just kind of don't talk about it, because I... I don't know. I guess I don't want people hurting the people I like a lot. You know, like, using that stuff against me and them, if that makes sense? [ she squeezes his hand. ] I don't really think there's such thing as good timing here, if I'm being honest.
I... I really like you, Griffin, and I don't think that's ever going to change, but your feelings for Shrike and my feelings for King aren't going to change either. [ she swallows, biting her lip for a moment. ] I'm ok with... that, are... are you?
