Why won't you just tell me. [ SQUINTING!! ]

I'm pretty sure they will. They'll follow you around and try and trip you for days. I've seen it happen. [ no she hasn't ] Just leave a few on the floor. A small sacrifice.

[peccadillo]

I'm not lying. [ MIRRORING THAT SQUINT.

ANDDDDD okay, shattered as she continues with freaking him out. He abruptly stands up, not a word, but side-stepping the mess. And today we learn September is quite gullible and unwilling to take chances with something like that.

And there's silence. ] Thanks. [ It's appropriate to say thank you for the non-Rhomba-tripping advice, right? His mental note to be grateful is pinging, but there's still a grumble in his voice. ]

No problemo.

[ EHEHEH. heh. whatever. it's not the worst lie in the world. she's done worse things. ]

So...

Why were you blind that one time?

[peccadillo]

[ He's still going to be a little upset when he finds out, you jerk.

There's a pause, him staring at his feet when he notices the question was actually directed towards himself. ]

Oh. [ What should he say? ] It's a... condition. It happens sometimes, I've gotten used to it. Not both eyes, but [ He clears his throat. ] this occasion was different. It just happens.

[ A truth, but not the COMPLETE truth. ]

Seriously?

[ well she doesn't exactly have a reason to not believe him, it just sounds. nuts. her wince isn't sympathetic, it's more like this squint because she's never heard of a condition like that and she can't even wrap her head around what the hell could cause it. or fix it. what the hell. but. questioning it further might be awkward, so. ]

Bummer.

You should go to medical, they've got these drugs that give you temporary superhero status so you can heal up faster.

[peccadillo]

[ He could explain stranger things, but he should be thankful that his appearance hasn't rung any bells. The bump has more worth than it seems, check marking that concern 'I haven't been noticed yet.' That strange figure in dreams is no one, he's simply the guy who dropped his food all over the floor.

Still, he's not quite catching the idea of her suggestion. If anything, she reminds him of someone. ] Perfectly fine.

[ He brushes down at the front of his jumpsuit and sharply gestures at himself with both hands, apparently meaning 'more than fine.' Lessons from that someone, oh, he would be proud.






Even if the context is different. 'Only when you're flirting,' that someone said. ]
