Lina!!

You're my friend and I care about your comfort a lot, and I'm even more concerned about it now that we don't have to do it to survive! Gods, I never want to force anything like this on anyone. Not even a little.

[dragonspooker]

it's not a question of comfort, it's just. never really got acclimated to between, i guess?

like other than a one-off with giorno, you were the only person i was with while i was there.

[squanderlust]

You could do worse than a one-night Stand with Giorno.

Take your time. If you don't want me doing this at you, you can tell me that, too. I'm serious, just tell me if I ever do ANYTHING to make you uncomfortable.

[dragonspooker]

I'd let you know, believe me. I'm just... too much of a sap, I guess. Getting far too invested in people that show me common decency.

[squanderlust]

I feel like I've told you this before, but I know what you mean. We're not the same kind of disaster, but we're close enough.

At least we look good.

[dragonspooker]

i guess so.

[squanderlust]

Do you need to talk about anything with me?

[dragonspooker]

no, i just need to find my own hobby to forget about things with.

can't believe this stupid world doesn't even have bandits.

[squanderlust]

I can recommend the gym. It's a good place to go when you have a lot of thoughts that won't leave you alone and you want to punch things for a while.

[dragonspooker]

punching isn't really my thing, though. i'll figure something out.

[squanderlust]

Sorry. I can leave you alone for a while if you want. I won't send you any more pictures like that.

[dragonspooker]

the picture's fine, there's nothing wrong with sending it, or others.

just. i read too much into something because i'm dumb and easily attached is all, so i just need to go punch these stupid emotions back down where they belong.

[squanderlust]

Do you still have feelings for me, Lina?

[dragonspooker]

[INSERT COPIOUS, EXTREMELY TELLING DELAY IN RESPONSE HERE.]

a little.

[squanderlust]

I'm sorry. It's only gotten worse for me since we came here. Lady Camilla is here, and she

[probably isn't reading this. it's probably fine.]

is very possessive. She doesn't even like that I served someone who isn't her long before I ever even met her. Let's be honest here. Having any sort of feelings for me has always been emotionally dangerous for anybody. This is the first time it might be physically dangerous.

[dragonspooker]

i'm not afraid of some overbearing princess with a sharing problem, severa.

i just know i shouldn't expect anything beyond what we've got right now.

[squanderlust]

I wish I could say otherwise, but the cruelest thing somebody can do is lie to them about something like this.

I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. I care about you more than I care about most people and I want to do everything I can to help you be comfortable with all of this. I don't really have the heart to start being mean to you anymore and try to make the way you feel about me reverse. Not after what we have now between us.

If you need to get some space, I understand.

[dragonspooker]

you don't got anything to apologize for, sev, it's not like you stirred these feelings up on purpose. they just happened. i'm sorry that it put you in this position - but at the same time, i appreciate that you're not gonna turn nasty on me over it.

so yeah, gimme a little time to get my head and heart sorted out.

...and maybe avoid the mountain for a little while.

[squanderlust]

I'll still be here when you get back. Take care of yourself up there.
