You don't want him to know.

[just said bluntly]

[tenebraecious]

I didn't. I don't want him to remember what I know is coming too. But I also decided a great deal on his behalf before through my own cowardice, so I am trying to be better in that regard.

[mind_blown]

You're not a coward. Even if you don't like the choices you ended up making.

Still think you think too much of everyone else, and too little about what you want.

[tenebraecious]

I am aware, but it is a difficult habit to break. There is not much I feel I can hold onto and not risk losing.

[mind_blown]

Yeah.

I know.

[he lifts his hand and steps back.]

'Bout the losing part.

[tenebraecious]

[a very sad smile, they get it]

. . . But Noctis is here. I am not sure what more I could ask for.

[mind_blown]

Dunno. But sounds like you're already mentally right back in wedding territory.

[tenebraecious]

[enhance blush]

We are not engaged any longer.

[mind_blown]

Oh, now you get to do the whole fun dating and whirlwind romance bit.

Then you plan your marriage.

[tenebraecious]

[bullseye, letting the smallest show of a pout through]

Whatever comes about is between us. Thank you.

[mind_blown]

It's okay.

Your secret's safe with me. Scout's honor.

[tenebraecious]

Only because half of your amusement will be from tormenting me regarding it.

[considering for a beat, before coyly but also excited]

I should speak with him about a date, though.

[mind_blown]

Now you're getting into too much information territory.

[tenebraecious]

What? You do not have any ideas or thoughts to share on the matter?

[mind_blown]

I dunno. I do remember getting completely turned down for a date-- and honestly, being bad at 'em in general.

[tenebraecious]

How could anyone deny you? [/tease] I do not have any ground to stand on what makes a bad date, but I will spare you from recounting the details, even if I could learn from your example.

Though . . . You have had a date with Nero, have you not?

[mind_blown]

... I guess we have.

[ah, there's a flicker of something there.]

If you squint.

[tenebraecious]

[honey]

Perhaps, you should test your luck once more. To see if you are still so bad with them.

[mind_blown]

When he gets back from his transfer, I think the last thing he's gonna wanna do is go on a date.

[tenebraecious]

That is likely true, but after a day or two, once he has regained his bearings . . .

[don't weasel out of it, jason]

[mind_blown]

Are you trying to intervene on my behalf here? Or Nero’s?

[deflect]

[tenebraecious]

I would not call this intervening. Merely, a suggestion, from a friend to a friend. Your dates may not have been successful, because you failed to spend time with the right person.

[mind_blown]

Or I’m not the right person for those kinda trappings.

The best thing you did was turn me down for it, trust me.

[tenebraecious]

I am not certain that you aren't. Still, I will leave it for you to discuss with Nero if you ever choose to.

[mind_blown]

I appreciate the vote of confidence, princess.
