[restitui]

Good, because I already chose for you.

[ he puts his phone down and give the quiet groan of do i gotta get up, dramatically as he sits up to join him. ]

Yeah. It was. I think it was definitely something everyone needed. Especially like Jewel and Forte, it was good for them.

Re: morning 241

[heartlands]

Yeah. What about you, did you have a good time too?

Re: morning 241

[restitui]

I did. I mean -

It definitely had its weird moments. But I like spending time with you and I got to learn a little about some people?

Re: morning 241

[heartlands]

Yeah? What kind of stuff did you learn?

Re: morning 241

[restitui]

... Beyond the new Family member who's definitely a criminal of the murder type?

[ probably not best to say over their eggs and bacon. which arrives. i also assume by magick fdgdfh ]

Nettle's a lot smarter than he'll let you believe, but don't tell him I said that.

Re: morning 241

[heartlands]

...Uh. On a scale of one to ten how worried should I be? Do you think they're gonna hurt you?

[pushing himself up to glance at him with concern, but]

Yeah... He seems cool. I don't think he likes me very much, though.

Re: morning 241

[restitui]

[ Shakes his head: ]

I think it'll be okay. He made me unsettled a little but he was fine? Maybe he's not all bad. Besides, it was bound to happen eventually that we got someone a little - [ shrugs. ] Even I know the Disorder has a reputation.

[ only a lil worriedly said. ]

Speaking like from talking to him, I think that's just how he is. It took a lot for me to convince him I wanted to be his friend and cared about him? He accepts the latter, but isn't ready for friends.

Re: morning 241

[heartlands]

I want to point out that you used the word murdery, but - as long as you're sure.

[shakes his head]

That's not it. I think he knows I care about him, but I also think he just doesn't like talking to me. It's not a big deal, though. I mean, can't win them all, you know?

Re: morning 241

[restitui]

[ he was definitely murdery that was loud but it wasn't at me, things to not say aloud as he tries again: ]

It'll be fine. No matter what he has to work with us now, right?

[ an attempt. he frowns a little knowingly, but nods. ]

You might be surprised. Who wouldn't like talking to you?

[ he means it as sincerely as he does teasingly as he gets up to grab the plates and bring them over. ] Just don't give up on him... which, knowing you, you won't.

Re: morning 241

[heartlands]

Yeah... But promise you'll tell me if anything happens?

[nods, taking a plate]

I know. I just don't want to keep pestering him if he doesn't actually want to be around me, you know?

Re: morning 241

[restitui]

I promise, but nothing will.

[ ... he has to believe that, in his hope that people can be good. but he sits down close enough for their shoulders to bump. ]

If he didn't want you around I am 100% sure that Nettle would tell you to go away.

Re: morning 241

[heartlands]

I trust your judgment.

[eats some bacon with a sigh]

Okay, but like, there was this dare where I was supposed to get someone to say one thing they didn't like about me, so I asked him and he just kept going after the first thing...

Re: morning 241

[restitui]

[ picks at a bit of his eggs inclining his head: ]

Which was?

Re: morning 241

[heartlands]

Nothing like, devastating, but I don't know. It doesn't scream "I like your company" to me.

Re: morning 241

[restitui]

[ a beat as he considers and knocks his shoulder against his a little. ]

Well. You have Sun Sign. The rest of Acidia. Heron. And me.

Re: morning 241

[heartlands]

Yeah, I know. Like I said - you can't win them all. I know I didn't do anything wrong or something like that.

Re: morning 241

[restitui]

You're right. But if he's doing something like calling you a nerd, don't take it to heart. He calls everyone nerds.

... which, we are. I guess.

Re: morning 241

[heartlands]

Ah - nah, it wasn't that.

You're a cute nerd, at least.

Re: morning 241

[restitui]

[ laughs a little: ]

Cute enough for another good morning kiss?

Re: morning 241

[heartlands]

Maaaaybe.

[sets the plate aside and leans in for a kiss]

Re: morning 241

[restitui]

[ also puts aside his plate to lean into the kiss, one hand moving to place itself on gingham's arm. only come back a few moments later to say: ]

Another good reason to stay the night more often and also a good opener to the embarrassingly long "Things that are great about Gingham speech," I'm typing in my head. Biasedly you're a great kisser.

[ it's not a distraction, it's half a distraction- ]

Re: morning 241

[heartlands]

You could also forget the speech if you wanted. Just an offer.

Re: morning 241

[restitui]

I am so not forgetting the speech. It's on our list of important conversation pieces or did you forget already?

Re: morning 241

[heartlands]

Let's move on to the mirror thing.

Re: morning 241

[restitui]

[ Exhales as he shifts back slightly to pull his legs up onto the bed and pull them close to his chest to wrap his arms around them. Gaze shifting to Gingham's mirror before shrugging a little: ]

It scares me.
