[wittingly]

oh yeah?
he teaching you anything else?

[evocation]

[OH

duh]

pfft
i wish

[wittingly]

Don't let your dreams be dreams

[evocation]

what, are you playing wingman?

[wittingly]

do you NEED a wingman?

[evocation]

uh
i don't know
do you think i do?

[wittingly]

depends
do you wanna tap that and haven't been able to?
if so, yes

otherwise your ass and your charisma do most of the work for you

[evocation]

aww, aren't you sweet?
i guess i haven't really tried
like, actively anyway

[wittingly]

You thinking about it now?

[evocation]

kind of
i don't know
can i make this gross and serious for a second?

[wittingly]

Definitely

[evocation]

it didn't make anything weird when we slept together, you know?
i don't know if that's because we weren't as close then or what
but now it's
i don't know
i don't usually hop into bed with people i'm friends with

[wittingly]

Yeah, no, trust me
I get that
It's a whole different thing when you really care about the person

half because of the fucking empathy bond and what you can't keep out of it, half because it brings on this whole new giant list of potential problems that could fuck things up altogether and you wind up shooting yourself in the foot

[ hashtag fucking mood. ]

[evocation]

yeah, that
so it freaks me out
it would even freak me out with you
no offense

[wittingly]

none taken
100% understand
it's fucking terrifying and messy and complicated and like in second number 1 it would stop being just sex & become smacking the panic button

If he's your friend I don't blame you. This place really fucking murders casual sex among the displaced.

[evocation]

yeah, that
except i don't know how many people would get it besides you
we're more panicky than most people

[wittingly]

It's true. I'm pretty sure we're bottom of the barrel around here, which is impressive because I just saw two grown men arguing vehemently about Harry Potter earlier.

[evocation]

wow, bottom of the barrel is harsh
we're super hot, thank you

[wittingly]

oh no don't get it wrong
we're totally top of the barrel in looks. probably top 5 minimum.

but with emotional intimacy?

-2, easy

[evocation]

okay, okay
fine, you're right
i think we're getting better though
right?
i mean, you helped me a lot with that

[wittingly]

It was mutual. I'm pretty sure we started at -5.

[evocation]

so all someone has to do is yell at you while they're bleeding all over?

[wittingly]

You know what you'd think that was the first time that happened to me, but actually no

I've been yelled at and bled on simultaneously several times, it never did the trick before.

[evocation]

[She could make a joke about how it obviously worked because she's just that awesome, but she's too curious for that.]

so why did it work with me?

[wittingly]

You hit harder
That's a joke, because I'm still at -2


I don't know, maybe it was the empathy bond, the earthquake, maybe we were getting to be good enough friends and I was actually sober at the time of the bleeding, which usually wasn't the case back at the compound

all of the above
