The thought did sort of bother me, though I had the reason wrong at first I've been thinking about it ever since and I think Even though he's important to me as a friend, that's not all it is
It is confusing, yeah. Like, you're already comfortable being friends with him that you never really thought of taking it to the next level until it somehow gets brought up without warning. And now it feels like a rug was just pulled from under you with no way to recover yourself.
Exactly!! It took so long just to get him to accept me as a friend, so of course I wouldn't be thinking of anything past that! And then it happened and I couldn't help thinking if I'd just missed signs or anything, to be that surprised...
Missed signs... We'll need more input from the other girls for that, though. They were the ones who made me realize that... there was something more between us.
[ or, rather than assemble the girlies for yet another girl's night, ishmael knows just who to consult. ]
[ tfw ishmael is quick to admit that marcille's her friend than the m&m's..... ]
Huh. They did? I... wasn't really aware, either. This really caught me off guard.
[ nor was she aware that izou's attracted to her as well. it's funny. but also, why didn't wrio say anything? they should gossip more about this :/ ]
But Marcille might have an idea. She's... well. I'm not sure if I should call her an expert on the subject, but she knows a whole lot. Like I said, I'm still kind of stumbling my way through all this too.
It's okay, honestly. I think I've figured out what to do about it mostly Thanks, though I just remembered you said to tell you if anything like that happened and it's just not anything I've been good at keeping to myself But when you're ready to tell Wriothesley, let me know and I'll give you a fresh coat of new color for your nails!
Devotion, to me, feels a lot more... fervent, I guess? I don't know if you ever met Argenti while he was here, but he's super devoted to his Aeon and the concept of beauty and gets really... intense about it
[ Like. Oof. ]
But thanks! I didn't think you and I would have this sort of thing in common, but it's nice to know other people are dealing with it too
Concept of beauty... I haven't met him, but I think I'd be annoyed real fast.
I'm probably not the only one with a crush here, though. Maybe you could try asking people with more experience than I do. But I did volunteer to hear you out, so... You're welcome

[ that's almost how they kissed the second time, come to think of it... ]
And how did you feel about that?
no subject
I mean I'd kinda started thinking he was someone else crushing on Malkuth...
no subject
[ she's even more annoying, lmao ]
But... would it bother you if that turned out to be true?

Do you know Marcille?
no subject
[ Sometimes! Sometimes friendship doesn't have to take three months! ]
Actually, apparently Wriothesley and Winter both knew he liked me before I did...

Oh, like she's a romantic! I get that!
Are you feeling better about things on your end, then?
no subject
[ because he currently can't keep it in his pants 🧍♂️ what a gentleman... ]
But enough about me. Do you want me to ask him for more details? He's a lot more open with me now, if that helps.
no subject
mostly
Thanks, though

[ It was not, actually, "enough about me". ]
no subject
[ not that she's one to talk but if izou fumbles this.......... Man. ]
I'll let you know, then. Whenever that is. I remember mentioning blue ones back then, right?
no subject
I've been practicing with gradients so I should be able to get a real ocean feel going once we get the colors on!
[ She's so excited. ]
no subject
Do you practice them on yourself or on other people's nails?
no subject
no subject
Have you... ever thought of offering to do his nails?
no subject
No, not really... I just sorta figured he'd be like
"Save that sorta girly shit for someone else" or something
no subject
I mean, if he's that devoted to you, he probably wouldn't mind getting one. You could even give him a color that suits him.
no subject
I'll try asking him about it though
no subject
Either way, I hope you two enjoy yourselves. Nothing wrong with spending more time with each other as friends while you think on it.
