** Quality of advice may vary, not responsible for any unintended and less than satisfactory consequences that may stem from acting on said advice.

[Mars sits with his feet propped on the booth smoking a cigarette, watching as people pass by. he's dressed like a Taisho today in outfit number 5 with his henshin belt around his waist]

[phoni]

I'd say he's more than 'okay'.

[ mars, who do u think you're fooling ]

But you're okay yourself, so...

[foolmetwice]

[LET HIM PRETEND]

What-- what does that mean?

[mars you used the word "okay" first]

[phoni]

Shouldn't you know? You're the one who used it first~

[ granted, Gladiolus probably doesn't mean it in the exact same way Mars does. but that's not the point!! ]

[foolmetwice]

How do I know you're using it the same way I was using it?

[COUNTER]

[phoni]

Hmm, I guess you don't. So, I'll spell it out for you!

[ not even giving him a chance to stop her ]

By okay, I mean I think you're a pretty good guy, and I'd like to get to know you better. Does your 'okay' mean something different?

[foolmetwice]

[makes a face at her??? "pretty good guy???"]

It means "okay."

[phoni]

[ he has been okay when she's spoken to him and more importantly Lily likes him, therefore he is "pretty good". ]

If you say so!

[ said in a way that hints at her not buying it. ]

[foolmetwice]

-- anyway, Lily and I were just. . . talking, so.

Don't. Read too much into it.

["talking"]

[phoni]

[ you know, she hadn't thought they got up to anything but that denial makes her think something did happen. ]

I won't, I won't!

[ holds her hands up in mock surrender anyway. that's enough teasing him for now. probably. ]

[foolmetwice]

[they made out. a lot]

Good.

[puffs!1 like a puffer fish]

[phoni]

[ laughs a little. ]

Seriously, though. You don't have to sneak around or anything when you're invited over.

[foolmetwice]

I wasn't. . . trying to sneak around.

[he was just too embarrassed to stick around for long]

[phoni]

You did sneak out.

[foolmetwice]

I was in a hurry.

[what an impression he's making on Lily's cute team]

[phoni]

[ she's getting the impression he's a shy(???), prickly tsundere.

she doesn't contest that claim tho. she's not trying to make him feel more awkward about being at LiliS!! ]

Well, if you're not in a hurry next time, you're welcome to grab some breakfast. Or whatever meal we're having.

[foolmetwice]

[oh. . .]

. . . sure. Noted. You guys like to feed people, don't you?

[phoni]

I guess we do~ After all, good food should be shared!

[foolmetwice]

I guess.

[you're weird, LiliS]

[phoni]

[ mars has no room to talk about being weird!! ]

So... are you a coffee guy, or a tea guy?

[foolmetwice]

Coffeeeeee? Probably.

But I like tea, too.

[phoni]

Do you drink it black?
