Taking this game seriously is what you do if you're looking, isn't it? Otherwise, It's just a PR opportunity. I've already gotta listen to my brother obsess over that-- I'm not gonna do it, too.
[he exhales.]
Anyway, I hope not. Even if I liked that-- you were kind to me for some reason, I still don't think we'd work. And there's gotta be people here who would know how to approach a date.

How often have you visited Avante or Griffin, Nero?
no subject
Nero mostly visits me. But I stop by once a week or so.

Is this your way of being jealous?
[let's just cut to the chase.]
no subject
No, this is my way of showing where your interests lay. I would rather you pursue that which gives you greatest satisfaction.
no subject
That doesn't the original question, does it? Why d'ya think I think so low of you?
no subject
[shifting to cup her tea]
Jay, who are you thinking of it in this moment? Me or yourself?
no subject
I'm trying to understand.
[he'll finally take a drink of the tea.
huh. tea's not so bad.]
I keep trying to understand you. It's like we speak a different language.
no subject
We do. For as many reasons as there are stars, I imagine. Are you still hoping for a date?
no subject
Silk's pissed we didn't match, and I'm not good at this.
Besides, it's kinda cheap, ain't it? Wasn't that what you were getting at?
no subject
Did you look for her?
It is. You have had all the time in the world to invite me on a date with you.
no subject
I'll make it up to her some other way.
[he considers the second part, but he doesn't answer immediately]
no subject
[fine, not going to wait for him]
I am not serious in my intentions. It's only something I wished to experience as one who has not done much in her lifetime.
no subject
[he exhales.]
Anyway, I hope not. Even if I liked that-- you were kind to me for some reason, I still don't think we'd work. And there's gotta be people here who would know how to approach a date.
no subject
. . . We wouldn't, and I have much more to tackle than this. Still, you are a friend.
no subject
Well, glad you see it too.
no subject
Are you satisfied now? Not worried on my behalf? Able to focus on that which requires more attention from you?
no subject
I'm satisfied with what I got... Reasonably sure I understand. Enough to know I shouldn't annoy you anymore.
[so, he will down that tea.]
no subject
And you are not annoying me, Jay.
no subject
I'm sure Silk would appreciate the concern.
Or she might get mad at me and beat me up for it.
[he wouldn't entirely mind]
no subject
no subject
Naaah.
[but he stands.]
no subject
Good night, Jay.
no subject
Night.
