I ugh....

[He's not well versed in openly talking about these sorts of things. Even if Wrath was a friend. Feelings and inner thoughts were usually a thing that he kept to himself save for admitting his fear of the stalker in the shower which certainly had been a thing.]

My partner, Ordis actually.

Oh, that's great! You guys are super cute together, I bet.

[Awwww.]

I'm glad you've got someone to be close to.

We're not together. At least not like that. I don't think he'd be for that asides from being partners.

[It was complicated. Especially with how things have changed for them both.]

Oh... so like. You have a thing for him but he doesn't have the same thing for you?

That's tough. Relationship stuff is... weird. I don't get it.

I...it's sort of like that. More so I have the thing but I don't know if he does. I haven't asked him about it. I don't even know if it'd be right of me to do so.

Weird for sure. I've only understood so much thanks to vids and such.

Well, ask. Then you'll know. It's better to be honest. So long as like... you're not going to get all weird and shit at him if he doesn't. But I don't know why people aren't just like up front about how they feel. And why wouldn't it be right? He's not like super young or something, right?

Yeah, but I think vids make thing seem simpler. I don't know. I only ever did the relationship thing once, and I was bad at it. I was inattentive and I hurt my boyfriend's feelings pretty bad because I was insensitive and... not into monogamy. So I decided I wasn't going to do the relationship thing any more because I don't like hurting people.

The thing is I'm afraid of being weird because of having no experience with these things. I don't want to screw up the partnership we have. I wouldn't force anything on him of course but still that nagging fear. But no he's rather old for a cephalon of his class.

I just don't know if it'd be for the best or the worst to ask and find out.

I worry about being weird all the time too. I think the thing is... you're gonna get weird one way or another cause you've got these feelings, right? So it's better to just lay it all out and be like hey, I like you, if you don't like me that's totally okay, nothing changes. Most everyone I've talked to about stuff's been pretty cool, like either yes or no and then we just move on with our lives as long as no one makes it a thing.

[But this might work for her because she's powered by sheer force of shining good will and personality and doesn't realize it.]

Well, if you don't ask, are you just gonna like brood about it and get stupid and act weird at him because you've got all these fucking feelings you're swallowing?

I'll try to talk to him about it soon. Hopefully when neither of us are busy so it can be a proper discussion. It would hurt to hear him say no but better than to sulk not knowing.

[He glances away and tries to straighten out equipment to act busy.]

I ugh...we've already kissed. A lot.

Exactly.

[....uh what wait.]

You know, if you've already kissed a lot. Uh. He probably does like you back?

Unless in your culture you just make out with people you hate. Or whatever.

[As if that thought hadn't crossed his mind before.]

Well it's not a lot but more so than I've ever done with anyone. I want to make sure.

And no we don't.

You're the one that said it was a lot. [Aw, cute.] So yeah, just talk about it and be confident. Like, if he's kissing you, he likes you. [Or he's really, really confused. Also possible, maybe, with Ordis.]

I've never done a relationship before. At least one that I can remember. You're right though. I'll try to talk with him soon.

Well, I've only been in the one, so...

Hopefully yours goes better than mine did!

I'm sure you'll find something good someday. You're a good person, Wrath.

Aw, thanks. But I'm just trying to avoid that stuff for myself now. It's better for everyone that way.
