It's kinda not her deal.

[dragonheartedgirl]

Exactly. And who does that remind you of?

[crossmyheartandhope]

...kinda not my deal, either.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ thank goodness. he's not THAT obtuse. ]

Right. It's really difficult for you both. If I had to place a bet, I'd say that it was Nemesis's girlfriend who made the first move, and not Nemesis herself. So, don't you think maybe it's too early to be writing things off as "over" or "not happening?"

[crossmyheartandhope]

...look, sis.

Can't we just enjoy the party?

[And stop talking about feelings?]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ siiiiigghhh


on the one hand, she wants to tell him what she told nemesis. On the other hand, maybe projecting her personal issues all over other people isn't right either. ]

Right. And how do you propose we do that?

[crossmyheartandhope]

You hit the desserts yet? They got awesome brownies.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ well, no, but... ]

I already ate a lot earlier... I'm not so sure I should.

[ She has a feeling that if Raijuu were here--he'd tease her about overeating. ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude, it's a party.

Now's the time to live it up.

[dragonheartedgirl]

That's true, but--I don't want to get sick.

[crossmyheartandhope]

So stop before you feel sick.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ mmmmnnnnnnnnnnn ]

I suppose a little more wouldn't hurt any.

[ since you twisted her arm.... ]

....If you make fun of my weight, though...!

[ leaving that as an open-ended (see mostly-empty) threat ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude. You've seen how I go through snack stuff.

What's that thing about rocks and glass houses?

[dragonheartedgirl]

People live in glass houses in your world?

[ how frag--oh my ]

Is that why you lived in a brick one after--did you break your glass house?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Nah, 's like a saying.

Means don't call someone else out on something you do, cause that's dumb.

[dragonheartedgirl]

Oh! Yes, we have a saying like that--about not throwing rocks at the potter's house.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...huh. Yeah, guess that makes sense. Cause of all the pottery in there, yeah?

[dragonheartedgirl]

Glass does also make sense. We just don't have it.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Anyway, point is, I'm not gonna throw rocks at your pottery.

So let's go get some brownies.

[dragonheartedgirl]

Okay. Let's go get brownies.

[ as though she isn't actually excited to have more brownies

ffs hiryuu ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Off he goes, toward brownies!!]

[...he puts like three on each of their places, lbr. Probably some tiramisu, too.]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ das a lot of food hurricane

uhhhh ]

I'm not sure I can eat all this...

[crossmyheartandhope]

S'cool, they're pretty small. If we can't finish em, this thing's almost over, yeah? We'll wrap em in a napkin and keep for later.

[dragonheartedgirl]

I suppose that's true. It feels... a little strange to do that at a party like this, but if no one's watching...

[crossmyheartandhope]

It's probly fine. What're they gonna do with it all, otherwise? No way B's gonna eat it all himself.
