Very flattering, Ace. [ a gentle tease. ] Then I guess that settles it. You're stuck now, no takebacks or anything.

[ cyoa brain is so real and he does not fault him for this. ]

[selfimmolation]

I've said it before. [ sulkily. ] Don't act like it's new. [ :T!! ]

[resumed]

I'm not, I'm not. But I mean...we've had this conversation. You know why sometimes it's not my first instinct to believe it.

[selfimmolation]

Yeah, but you're not allowed to think it with me.

[ it's only half joking ]

[resumed]

You do make it easier not to think it. I'll give you that.

[selfimmolation]

Sounds bad if you say it like that. [ but he says it with half a laugh, so. yknow. ]

[resumed]

It's not meant to, you know. [ a slight grin. ] But you know that.

[selfimmolation]

Maybe. [ maybe!!!! so!!! ]

[resumed]

[ gently pokes him in the forehead. ]

...we'll catch up. Promise. [ and we can finally set this free three weeks later because you're alive again. ]
