/ with phil , she’s brave enough to say she missed his company —— and not only does he meet her where she is , he continues that convo and adds more to it . then all of a sudden , she’s deflecting , then redirecting .
/ eloise is so fascinating as a character to me .. she’s bold , and sharp , and charmingly IRREVERENT until god forbid a situation requires emotion and vulnerability , all of a sudden she’s joking , and redirecting .
he’s a difficult one , perhaps , but that isn’t to say that i am not ! we all have our flaws , must i remind you . however —— i’ll have a conversation with them . it may or may not include threats , but i digress .
i asked , we shared our findings , and now we’ll be discussing something else ! do you have any topics in mind , dr . crane ? anything particularly riveting ? or complains to share about your fans , led by one professor plant zaddy ?
i’m done talking about the bloody paper , too .
and philip ? anthony doesn’t seem to like nearly anyone . an offer to duel is an offer of friendship in his eyes .
That is.. rather sweet, actually. I do not believe I've ever had people say that about me.
I missed you because you are honest. You do not hesitate to tell me how things are, even if it had the possibility of offending me. And I also—
that’s all very kind of you , and slightly sentimental , but anything that evokes even the slightest bit of emotion is immediately categorized as ‘terrifying’ and ‘to be avoided’ ! in fact , i’m physically ill now .
@vexingvice / this was during sophie’s camping trip n whistledown sent out a blast ab phil and el bc they were debriefing and then she fell asleep in his tent n everyone thought they were boinking and then bam hurricane Anthony
you’re being ridiculous . he doesn’t even look at his statements , not to mention , i rarely use said cards ! my swipes are all entirely reasonable and as a result my requests cannot be denied .
don’t be silly , it’s because you’re my friend . you listen to my tangents , bring me coffee at times , and . . . well , you share your office with me . your company is quite pleasant .
now : your turn , philip crane .
You said that you missed me first. I believe it to be actually fair if you began listing off why you missed me, no? For verification purposes, as you said.
i would have given it a hundred , and then extra credit . audacious behavior should be rewarded at times , and especially in a field so rigid as ours .
