@Guardianbirdsil // the gigantamax Cinderace the other day too... yet for some reason I never got a single Smoliv or Applin that entire event, despite placing god knows how many mossy lures
I might have brought a lil' somethin' . Most people wouldn't wanna listen to me ramble 'less they were gettin' something out of it , so I had to prepare for that , right .ᐣ
Oh , really .ᐣ First i'm hearin' of that . Thought I just came here to talk to a friend , but ya' made it all weird . . . * SIGH * now I dunno if I want to go anywhere else with you .
[ Wiiiiide grin . She'd take the other's hand and gently kiss her palm . ]
oh my gosh, no! i wouldn't suggest that on a first date, jeez.
... this IS a date, right? i mean. i feel like it got pretty date-y. with the big shake and the holding hands and the uh... yeah.
[ coughs. ]
you. have something for me? oh, it's okay really.
[ Quite the sentence to lead with . Her face held a shocked position before hearing the rest , relaxing again . ]
Jeez , you're adorable . Thought you might've gotten confident on me .ᐟ
I've got nothing better to do with the rest of my day .
[ well shit she wasn't expecting that. she takes a good while to respond, her face so red, she almost looks like a kettle about to start whistling.
she shakes her head, and suddenly blurts out. ]
do you want to come to my place?
If i'd be takin' home any drawin' of yours , i'd want it to be a self - portrait . That's a face I can stare at .
[ What a coincidence , she's staring into her eyes right now . ]
Well , you're cute , you're entertaining , and you make talkin' about mundane topics like work interesting . All that's more than I can say for anyone else .
[ She'd laugh a bit to herself . ]
And do WHAT with it , exactly .ᐣ Admire myself .ᐣ Keep it .
[ polaris giggles. she doesn't seem to be pulling her hands away any time soon. ]
yeah, i do think you're pretty cool. which makes you liking me even weirder! cool people don't usually bother with me.
[ ah. the damn portrait again. the galactic grunt blushes looking down. ]
'M actually pretty cool . Reason I don't have friends is probably 'cause everyone's intimidated by me .
[ Hm . She's still holding on to Polaris' hands . ]
I guess I do . Who doesn't like being complimented .ᐣ It's just . . . weird , is all .
[ she can't argue with that. her glasses slide down a little, only enough to show big sparkly amber eyes about to cry.
then, she laughs. ]
you have to be pretty weird yourself to like this. to like... me.
You 𝒂𝒓𝒆 being weird , but . . . I like that , and I don't think you should shut up at all .
[ She'd grab both of the other's hands , gently holding them against the table . Smiling .]
I like hearing what you have to say — even the parts where you aren't complimenting me .
i'm sorryyyy, i'm sorry! i'm not trying to be weird, i swear!
[ she's whimpering again, shaking her head while staying hidden behind her hands. ]
you're not slow! i'm just... i'm talking too much, i need to shut up effective immediately, i'm so sorry—
You just think . . . what .ᐣ You've already said your share , 'm not sure what's keeping you so nervous .
[ Head tilted to the side . ]
You've got a real high - quality portrait of me , a girl you only really met TODAY , and now ya' call me all kinds of sweet things . . .
but... you're nice to me.
[ giving her a quick glance before going back to the milkshake. swirling it around with her straw, trying to act non chalant about it but... failing miserably. ]
i—i mean yeah, you're, you know, like, super pretty and hot... wait, is that weird?
