[ Why is it he knows more people here who have died before than haven't? Hello?? That shouldn't be normal. At least it's become commonplace enough that the revelation only sparks a brief twitch of his jaw muscle. ]

Giving me the opportunity to learn from your mistakes, I see.

[ Said lightly, though there's a cloud that passes over his face shortly after, and an unconscious urge to rub at the scars that drag down his throat. ]

You don't need to worry about me though. I make it a habit to fight for what I want.

[ Literally and figuratively. ]

[ kinda hot ngl ]

Now I sort of wish I was the person you were into, actually, since I'm pretty sure both of the people interested in me are the type to step back.

[ actually, she knows at least one is for sure but the other probably is the same too, knowing his attitude... ]

I'm the same as you though. I don't like backing down or giving up, though I will if asked, it's just until then I'll give it my all. I won't make the same mistake I did before either.

[ confidence is sexy!!!!!!! (to a certain point)

But hey, there's that flash of smile back on his face. ]

Only just finished listing off your last two confessions and now you're already angling for a third? That's very bold of you, Miss Malkuth.

[ Just kidding, they both know he's not into her that way. ]

Jokes aside, I may not be able vie for your hand in the ring but if something like this happens again [ fingers crossed it doesn't ] I can at least offer up a willing ear over dinner.

[ They're? Friends?? Now????? ]

[ignoreher]

[ she's a bold woman, but yeah. he's not, she's not. it's why talking to him about it is so much easier. it does make her grin though, tone turning a bit teasing. ]

Aww, you mean it? You're such a sweetheart, Mister Wriothesley, putting in the work for that astounding popularity of yours.

[ no, she won't let this go. it's funny. but it drops to a more sincere one, turning to glance back at the others. ]

Hopefully I won't be asking you out anytime soon then, or if I am it's just to catch up. I'll let you know in advance if it's a vent dinner or not.

[frostfist]

[ She's really never gonna let this go, huh. ]

And yet no one back home ever wanted to swing by and have a cup of tea with me.

[ Said with a dramatic sigh as he takes another gulp of his drink. Can he really be considered popular, can he?? ]

But I appreciate it. Gives me time to pick up a pair of earplugs beforehand. [ no, he's joking about this one. ]

[ignoreher]

Most of us here have more freedom and less direction than perhaps what we're used to, so it's only natural to start exploring previously unconsidered options.

[ please. if she wasn't miss popular back home, and neither was he, their fortunes have changed. ]

If you'll have me, I'd be happy to take tea with you anytime.

[frostfist]

[ why does everyone here love to throw his own words back at him, hello ]

I wouldn't be offering if I didn't enjoy your company to some extent.

[ He's desperate, but not that desperate. So! Tea and/or dinner, whenever the occasion arises. ]
