Every day for a month or two. [... softer:] Two of them, even. They get along well.

[ as they reach the door, they pause, and then eventually just sort of shadow blip through the door with lup so they're in her room. ]

[she says, and then - they blip through and she startles, clinging tightly. WAH.]
Yeesh, warn a girl.

It's better that way, I think. [a little shrug.] I don't want to be an option. I want to be a choice.
no subject
Are you giving them the chance to make that choice, or assuming they already have?
no subject

Hmm, that's a lot of assumptions for a person that keeps insisting we just met. [grumble grumble.]

no subject
Okay, well, points for the beautiful woman part. [ear flick.] You're just a little wiener boy. That's so funny.
no subject
A what?

no subject
I - well, you can make any assumptions you want, I suppose, but you don't know me, either.
no subject
It's the vibes, though. I can smell the wiener. Comes off of you like stink lines.
