Whatever you say.

[Ishmael can chip as much as she wants, but Rodya is always meant to be in the cold and take comfort in everyone else's warmth. Her eyes continue to gaze away from her friend.]

Truth or dare?

[wheft]

...Truth.

[ rodya would make her do something embarrassing to get back at her, she bets. ]

[axethrows]

What was the big moment like? The one where you two sealed the deal and all of that.

[She wants more deets on the confession moment to feel something happier out of it. 🥺]

[wheft]

[ FUCK um ]

We just confessed under the stars. It's nothing too elaborate. I wanted to say something earlier but something got in our way.

[ like the mods cursing him with horny, rip. she stares at wrio from afar for a moment, then turns her attention back to rodya. ]

For me it felt... liberating, I guess. I kind of understand Heathcliff now.

[ while ishmael's going crazy over the prospect of going back home, heathcliff must've driven himself crazy just by thinking of his girlfriend too. or something. idk, she hasn't read wuthering heights 🧍‍♂️ ]

I don't have anything sappy to add because we're not that kind of couple, but... I'm just relieved that we're still friends. I think that's the most important takeaway for me.

[axethrows]

Yeah? It's a terrifying thought. A chance to ruin something that is already good when you want more.

[She can't deny that the same fear exists when it comes to Yuwon, so she is preparing herself if his answer leads down that path.

And yet she is smiling even when facing the ground because there are kinder thoughts trying to rebel against the usual ones.]

Confessing under the stars is cute and simple enough, it fits you two.

[Sometimes things don't need to be dramatic, even if some may find it boring but this fits Ishmael very well to her so she is pleased.]

[wheft]

Thanks...

[ even if it's rodya, talking about it is still too embarrassing. it really is a good thing that it's too dark out for anyone to see her flushed cheeks.

regardless, she's going to push through that embarrassment. ]

And yes, it was scary. That's why it took me a while to give him my answer. Maybe... Maybe that's why Yuwon also needed some time to think about it. [ perhaps he too had lost so many. underneath all that stoicism, he could also be merely human at the end of the day, like most of them. ] If he won't make a peep in two months, I'll punch him for you.

[ HELLO ]

[axethrows]

Maybe... Guess it also gives me time to think and sort my feelings out too. [She does laugh on the punch comment.] Go get him~

[Even if the waiting is still going to shake her entire being up, she is trying to make positives out of it. She twirls some of her hair in her fingers as she takes a moment to breathe and think.]

...

[...]

I do like him.

[Surprise. She said it. She really wishes she can take 24 shots of alcohol right now to help ease the pain, but imagining the flavor in her mouth will do for now.]

No matter what he tells me, I will tell him how I feel so I can get it out of my system. Still hate talking something like that, but... Guess it's different when someone else is involved in the mess of your emotions.

[Everything else is still off the table for now, there is a time and place for talking more on her past and sins u_u]

[wheft]

[ girl we all been knew. but hearing rodya be honest for once immediately puts ishmael at ease. it's definitely not easy, so she's proud of you queen u_u

she lets the other woman's words sink in for a moment longer, before asking again. ]

I'm going to assume that you'll take "truth" for this one. Because I have to ask one more thing before I completely drop the topic for good.

Do you... think he likes you back?

[axethrows]

[ty queen, baby steps u_u]

Well... If he doesn't like me back, I wish he would say it right away instead of dragging it out.

[Which there is still a chance and it will hurt, but she will live.]

Maybe he is still figuring his feelings out, but he's kind of... trying, at least? Like he is still trying to give me support even when I am feeling a little tense around him. Like he is putting some effort in while he is figuring out what he wants... Giving me his special jacket so I can cool down from the heat, offering food as an idea to cheer me up. Stuff like that-

[Yuwon had his fumbles, but there has been little things like that and it just makes her want him more tf....]

[wheft]

[ guys really be leaving crumbs that make you want more, ugh...

ishmael sighs. she gets it. she really does. ]

If he's trying, then he's got to try even harder. And sooner. We only have a very limited time here, Rodya. I really hope he knows that.

[ she's even more steamed than before... it's june now so she's gonna confront him for you later, queen u_u ]

But I do know that he's blunt to a fault. If he doesn't like you otherwise, I think he'd let you know right away. At least in his own words. [ a crooked smile. ] Come on, cheer up. You can tell me all about him whenever you want.

[ she grabs for rodya's hand and swings it a little. see? yuri will always prevail :/ ]

[axethrows]

[Why can't we be on the yuri timeline, this sucks!!!!]

Yeah... If he leaves before I get a peep out of him... [Mmmm nope, we ain't going there.] Ah, forget it. Enough of the cold mood, Rodya~

[She talked some and that's progress for her, but she squeezes Ishmael's hand and she pulls up a smile. It's a real one because it's Ishmael and she has been amazing on supporting her when the ice has soften and cracked more.]

I will, I will~ You will be the first to know the news.

[And it's going to be good news for once or we are fighting Bijou.]
