@Insxmnxphile "I was calling *you* that." She gives a slight huff but, oh well. It's hard to not smile so soon after.
"You're fiiine, all just harm~less~ teases." She says, leaning into the other's touch.
@Insxmnxphile "H-huh ?" She perks, not realizing till then how she might've sounded.
"N-no ! Definitely excluding you from that !" Wow, for once, she's actually gotten frazzled. At least this openly.
"Ugh, such an imp . . ."
@Insxmnxphile Lacey folds her arms in front of her on the table, leaning forward some. There's a brief exhale.
"I'm trying, anyways. I don't think I'm as good a judge of character as I strut myself as." She musters a faint smirk.
@Insxmnxphile She’s quick to nab one, unwrapping it and taking a first bite. Hungry girl.
“Y’know. I’m not exactly young, sure, but, for all my lived years—I don’t ‘xactly have a lot of interpersonal connections.”
She says, in between bites and swallowing. “Gets … I don’t know. Solitary.”
@Insxmnxphile “Turns out, for how much I try to portray myself, I’m actually pret~ty~ emotional.”
She tries playing it off with a chuckle, but it’s just deflection.
@Insxmnxphile “Were you worried ..?”
Lacey looks over, seating herself at a small table and chair set-up she has beside her apartment’s kitchen.
“Aside of obviously missing me, that is.”
@Insxmnxphile “Is a kiss the toll for me to have some of that food you brought over ..~?”
She leans in close, brushing her nose against Suzu’s once again.
