"Okay then." She faced forward again. Sure thing. I'll get right to work on that.

He went quiet again, eyes still on the ground. She shouldn't trust him, he thought. He was liable to hurt her, even if he didn't want to.

2015-07-07 23:37:12

●

There was a bit of silence between them. Finally she spoke up, trying to break the awkward quiet. "It sure is clear out tonight." Ivory commented. "In Flordia, it'd be storming so much around this time that we wouldn't even be able to see a few feet in front of us."

2015-07-07 23:44:46

🌀

What. "Is that preferable...?" Why would anyone go outside in that kind of weather, even?

2015-07-07 23:46:23

●

"Hmmm, a little." She answered after thinking for a moment."The rain helps me think, but at the same time it's not fun to be in alone." This is also how she got sick as a kid a lot.

"So it is more fun to wander around in a storm with someone else." That didn't seem like it would be much better, especially if you couldn't see anything. He assumed you wouldn't be able to hear much either, what with it being a heavy storm and all. But if it helped her think...

●

"Mhmm. My friends all hated the ran, so they never went out in it with me." Wait, that sounded weird. "They uh, preferred the humid and heat, and practically were always out in it tanning when the sun was out."

"But of course you burn, so you could not join them. Though, how do you know it is nicer with other people if other people never enjoyed it with you?"

2015-07-07 23:54:25

●

She shrugged. "Getting caught it the rain is a common thing when you live next to the Atlantic ocean, so they'd walk home with me and then complain about it. Being disappointed is better than being alone, I guess."

2015-07-07 23:56:52

"........" Was it? Personally, he kind of enjoyed being alone sometimes. That must be why she was always with Lance, but then why was she taking a walk by herself? Unless she'd somehow anticipated coming across him. No, she'd said she hadn't expected to see him. "If they complained the entire time, that does not sound better than being alone."

2015-07-07 23:59:38

●

She gave a weak. nervous laugh. "It's....kinda hard to explain, honestly." Could she even put it into words? Others did for her, but it was never exactly what she wanted to day.

2015-07-08 00:02:08

🌀

"...okay." He wasn't going to press it if it was too much of a bother for her.

2015-07-08 00:03:01

●

She ran a hand through her hair before rubbing the back of her head. Ugh, this was hopeless. They both suck at conversing. "I'm sure Lance can explain it better, if you ask him to."

2015-07-08 00:07:05

🌀

The only decent way for them to actually talk without it devolving into an apology contest is to have a third person, but Cale would just make things worse and Lance would probably tell him everything. Along with the problem of eliminating the original one-on-one interaction. "I might. But it seems like a sensitive subject." He wasn't sure, though.

2015-07-08 00:11:12

●

Maybe we don't need a third person? What if we did something? :]. Another forced laugh from her. "Zane if you can get that man on the subject of me, he will never shut up. Nothing is sensitive between him and I."

2015-07-08 00:15:48

🌀

Hmmm. Like what? Possession would only exacerbate the problem, but a little influence might do the trick. "I mean for you. I do not want to accidentally hear from him something you would not want me to know."

2015-07-08 00:17:19

●

I'm not sure yet, but I'm sure we can find something out soon. If anyone needs it, it's these two. "He knows my limits very well."

2015-07-08 00:21:38

🌀

Oh, right. She trusted Lance. "...that is good. Maybe, then." Desperately.

2015-07-08 00:50:59

●

"Mhmm." She went quiet again. No don't be quiet. Talk MORE. OPEN UP. Ugh, you're hopeless Ivory. This is why no one dates you.

2015-07-08 00:54:13

🌀

This is ridiculous. If necessary, I will /absolutely/ make him blurt out random inner thoughts.

2015-07-08 00:57:12

●

Please. Please do. This isn't working.

2015-07-08 00:57:44

Problem is his mind's drawing a complete blank right now. Error, error, reboot artificial intelligence system.

2015-07-08 01:00:07

●

Lets shove them into traffic. That'll help. Cue the awkward saving face from Twilight. Next thing they're Edward and Bella, and Cale is Jacob.

Everything in that reference is as backwards as physically possible. Though he probably would survive getting hit by a truck, I'd rather not take the risk.

True, and Ivory almost dying isn't on my list of 'fucking everything up' currently. Though I might die as I watch her drown in the pathetic attempt of conversation.
