@LumpsOfO00 That sounds nice...
I don't have anything I should do, as per usual.
(They let out a slow sigh.)
That is one of the things that makes me wonder what it would be like if something else got a turn with my life, got to find better things to do..
(Their body feels slightly tense.)
@LumpsOfO00 (They lean back against the wall the couch is up against, making sure that Pork can still lean on them.)
So, uhm... is there.... anything you're doing this week?
(Oh shit, it's awkward small talk.)
@LumpsOfO00 Well, okay..
(They take a decent-sized handful from the bag, put the bag down on their lap, and grabs one chip with their other hand. Do not bother asking why I put so much detail into saying how they eat these chips.)
This tastes quite good! I love the sweetness!
@LumpsOfO00 Oh!
(River visibly tips backward in the capsule by surprise.)
Attractive?
..that was.. very brave of you. to say how you feel like that.
(They are not normally called any words that strong..)
..I think.. we'll just "agree to disagree" on your sweetness.
(Overreaction, much?)
@LumpsOfO00 That sounds fun!
..Oh hey, you're blushing! (They said in a singsongy tone.)
You know, you don't need to fear being 'sweet'. It is a very nice trait of yours!
@LumpsOfO00 Oh, that isn't very good.. I mean- at least in my opinion.
If you want a place to relax in the day, you can always come here...as you probably can tell because you randomly came in here.
@LumpsOfO00 Yeah, sure...
Well just know that if you change your mind I will gladly give it to you!
(Keyword is give: not lend or anything)
You normally stay in the shelter, correct?
@LumpsOfO00 Okay, just sayin'.
On a similar note, I was given both a blanket and comforter the other day, which you're laying on right now.
I don't really need two things on top of me when I rest, would you like to have the comforter? I know you 'don't need' comfort, but I'm just offering.
@LumpsOfO00 You were practicing building my trust...to then build trust with others later? I don't think that works when I trust everybody at first..
(Of course they don't believe Pork's statements for a second. It is visible how funny they find this.)
@LumpsOfO00 (They snicker at that last part.)
Why did you bring me a snack, then?
(River lifts their hand with the chocolate donut gripped, which they have been eating between sentences.
They take a big bite and finish the whole thing.)
You chose to do such a nice thing for me!
@LumpsOfO00 Yeah! You always add so much pleasant variety to every time we've interacted,
you're very brave,
you show so much sweetness to people you like..
You are awesome!
