Marcille? Yeah, she helps with my hair and I do her nails! We're good friends.

[ Sometimes! Sometimes friendship doesn't have to take three months! ]

Actually, apparently Wriothesley and Winter both knew he liked me before I did...

[wheft]

[ 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 hard to get a leg up in this world... ]

Oh, like she's a romantic! I get that!
Are you feeling better about things on your end, then?

[wheft]

Mhm. He's... also been giving me some time to think about it. But I know what to tell him now. I just need to figure out *when* to say it.

[ 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.

[bowtography]

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!

[ It was not, actually, "enough about me". ]

[wheft]

I'd still kick his ass for you, though. Talk about weird timing...

[ 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?

[bowtography]

Yeah, I remember!
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. ]

[wheft]

Sounds good. Looking forward to it.

Do you practice them on yourself or on other people's nails?

[bowtography]

Myself, mostly? If it's on other people, I kind of like knowing what I'm doing.

[wheft]

[ hm............. ]

Have you... ever thought of offering to do his nails?

[bowtography]

Izou's??
No, not really... I just sorta figured he'd be like
"Save that sorta girly shit for someone else" or something

[wheft]

I'd kick his ass for that.

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.

[bowtography]

I don't know if I'd call him devoted??
I'll try asking him about it though

[wheft]

Is there a difference between devotion and loyalty, though?

Either way, I hope you two enjoy yourselves. Nothing wrong with spending more time with each other as friends while you think on it.

[bowtography]

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

[wheft]

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
