You needn't worry at all. I want to see the stars, you want to see the stars. It only makes sense that we seek them out together, hm? I'd hate to leave you out.

[ When an extrovert makes another extrovert friend. ]

[ignoreher]

[ my god............ she has TWO OF THEM NOW....... finally. finally. ]

Winter... I'm so sorry. I misjudged you entirely. The reason your beauty isn't on the outside because it's shining from within.

[ girl ]

[icyspicy]

[ The way he just stops walking to stare at her. ]

Excuse you?

[ignoreher]

Yes?

[ she turns, asking, like she hadn't said anything wrong. ]

[icyspicy]

What do you mean "your beauty isn't on the outside"?

[ Girl are you BLIND. ]

[ignoreher]

You're not my type, that's all.

[ sorry. ]

Like, you are pretty, Winter, but I like your spirit way more than your face!

[icyspicy]

[ He's got a whole foot of height on her, so he leans down to get on her level, hands on his hips. His gaze is narrowed, scrutinizing. ]

As long as we agree that I'm pretty.

[ That seems to be the only sticking point here. ]

[ignoreher]

[ oh good, she doesn't get nervous when he bends down unlike every other tall per... no. there's a fucking trend to the people she's asked to lean down and they have. she's not connecting this shit. ]

You shouldn't put so much stock into what others say. If you know you're pretty, why be bothered if someone else calls you just okay?

[icyspicy]

Me? No, no, don't misunderstand. I'm not bothered in the least.

[ Like, Vergilius was so much meaner to him and he just laughed about it. ]

I was simply worried that you'd gone blind.

[ignoreher]

Oh, you're so full of yourself! [ but it's teasing, laughing a bit. ] No wonder March got annoyed at you.

[ though again, malkuth's fine with it. kind of funny to listen to. ]

I guess I'll ask you then, since you're a judge of all things beautiful... am I plain or pretty?

[icyspicy]

[ His brows pinch together, and he seems to be genuinely confused over the question. ]

What do you mean? You’re lovely.

[ignoreher]

So she wasn't just biased...

[ nevermind the




other guys who have said as much too. mm. ]

Alright, I'm lovely then. Appearances weren't super important where I'm from, so I didn't really develop a sense for it growing up... I've been sort of figuring out what I like, and what others consider attractive too.

[icyspicy]

[ Why is it that Winter and March are the ones whose opinions matter? Not that he'd complain, but. ]

Ah, I see. And I'm very clearly not your type.

[ Clearly. ]

If I may, what is your type?

[ignoreher]

[ because their confidence is that powerful.

the question does cause her to pause a moment, staring at herself in one of those haunted mirrors before she distinctly turns Away. nope. she can't see the expressions she's making. ]

Oh, I... I don't know.

[ but now she's thinking about it.

and she does know, heart aching with memories that are, that aren't, that are hers. ayin had been... ]

... Reliable and strong, always looking towards the future. Striking eyes and a nice smile, even if it might not be shown as much. Kind too, even if they don't-- I don't know, speak it? Actions over words kind of thing.

[ a beat, playing with her hair. ]

I don't really mind people who tease me either, actually. It's kind of fun for some reason.

[icyspicy]

[ This girl...

She might not want to look at her own expression but Winter can see it clear as day. One raven colored brow lifts. ]

You're thinking of someone specific, aren't you?

[ignoreher]

Kind of. He never liked me back though-- or I should say he never really saw me in the first place, even though I was always looking at him.

[ her painful first love in her painful first life. malkuth sighs and plays with her hands behind her back. ]

There were more important things happening though, so I've never faulted him for it. And he had someone he liked, too.

[icyspicy]

Ah, I see. My condolences, for your unrequited romance.

[ He seems earnest, even if he himself has never really experienced such a thing. (From her perspective.) ]

Well, surely someone around here fits the bill. It seems LILITH takes all types.

[ignoreher]

[ from her perspective indeed. someone with such a wonderful heart should always land who he wants. ]

Right? They're definitely not shy about throwing things at the wall until they stick. I'm not... really looking out for it though. Sort of trying to get my feet into friendship first.

[icyspicy]

One step at a time, hm? If you’re starting with March, you’ve made a fine choice.

[ That’s his little sister!!! ]

But all that aside, perhaps we ought to be keeping our eyes peeled for creepy crawlies instead of chatting the day away.
