That a scheduled thing?

I wish, but it's been at least a few weeks since then.

I don't think anyone would be averse to having one again. Paloma and I were meaning to watch those movies, anyway.

Then I'd love to join in.

Good! Silence and Valour came last time. There's always room for more.

[ although on that note, she'll take her eyes off the road a bit to read his reaction. ]

If you're okay with that. Otherwise, we can keep it small.

[he doesn't so much as blink

SOMEONE has more of a grudge than the other]

Nah, the more the merrier.

He admitted to striking a nerve on purpose. I wanted to check if you felt okay.

[mmmmakes a face]

Ah, yeaaaah, I'm less bothered by him than my own reaction, honestly.

I have to say, I was a little surprised when he told me what happened.

[ simply that. It's clear she isn't scolding him or disappointed. ]

What would you have liked to do differently?

I would've liked to not lose my head. I didn't even realize I had that kinda temper...

[ nodding in agreement ]

Mm. Most people wouldn't until someone touches a nerve. Or smashes it, in this case.

I think I'm usually pretty even-keeled, but... Yeah. I didn't like him saying the shit he said one bit.

Basically, neither of you like being questioned about how you feel about us.

[ parking! ]

Pretty much! Once I figured out why he was bein' a dick I calmed down a lot.

[o shit beach!]

It's a great view, right?

It's wonderful.

[reaching for her hand 'x'!!]

[ taking his, giving it a reassuring squeeze ]

Did you want to have a seat outside?

Yeah. I'd like that.

[countersqueeze, then opening the door on his side and climbing out.]

[ popping the trunk and grabbing a book and a couple of blankets, offering him one. ]

I'm not sure how illness effects work, but let's not take chances.

Yeaaah, probably for the best.

[wraps himself up in blanket cooperatively.]

[ picking a spot and smoothing the other blanket out on the sand.

When she takes a seat, she reaches up for him to join her ]

[he takes her hand and settles as well, carefully, then leans against her.]

[ warm! She huddles close ]

I wanted to thank you. For a lot of things. But also to reiterate that I am taking your feelings seriously.

...Thanks. It means a lot, to know you are.

And in putting myself in the opposite position of a confession... I have a greater appreciation for what you said.

Oh, did you tell him?
