She giggled. "Okay, so maybe he does. I just wanna take things slow, you know? How did rushing into things in my last relationships go?"

"That's terrible and he should be slapped. I heard he was the one who spiked the drinks at the party you guys had a month or so ago." Spyders told her everything and Louhkie could ever keep his mouth shut about anything.

"Oh, yeah, that's....right, take it slow. Or just don't let him take you home, that works too."

"He has been. And punched, and kicked....well, I think Louhkie started it, but he definitely helped, and by the time everyone had downed a glass of 'soda', it was no longer a party."

"Welllllll, I don't know about that one." She giggled.

"Yes, I know very well the effects of that party. Saw Cale and Zane on the street after it."

"I never met him, I don't know if he'd try. That's right, I want to meet him. All I know about him so far is he's smart and chased you home, he needs a better first impression."

"I never did know how they fared with that. I also didn't know if vampires could get drunk. Was he?"

2015-07-31 06:29:38

●

"I'll see what I can do. Just don't kill him, alright?"

"Cale? Not at the time. Could he? Yes. How do I know. Lance. Always Lance."

2015-07-31 06:32:35

"I'm not promising anything." He gave her an innocent, fang-filled smile.

"....Lance has gotten drunk? That seems unlikely."

2015-07-31 06:34:01

●

She rolled her eyes. "I swear, if you kill him before I can get to a /real/ date I will tell /her/ and she will be /very/, /very/ mad."

"That's like saying Cammie has never gotten laid. It's the 21st century, innocence is all but completely gone."

2015-07-31 06:36:55

🌀

He shrank back a little. "Noooo, don't do that, she's scary when she's mad."

"Oh. Uh. O-okay....."

2015-07-31 06:40:09

●

"Exactly." She grinned. "And she loves me so she'll believe me if I tell her you've been terrible."

"Just....don't fool yourself. Naivety is a deadly poison."

2015-07-31 06:41:28

🌀

"Don't tell her lies, she'll kill me."

"....I've lived two lifetimes, albeit relatively short ones. Just...one of them wasn't in this century. I'm not used to this sort of thing."

2015-07-31 06:47:38

●

"Fuck this up for me and I will tell her you still sleep in footie pajamas."

"Well, get used to it, because it's not going to be changing back anytime soon."

"It's not my fault they're really soft!"

"If only it could. Right, I'll try to...adapt..."

2015-07-31 06:58:16

"And you're /how/ old again?"

"Just wait till you turn a thousand years old, then everything will seem new to you."

2015-07-31 07:02:24

🌀

".....thirty-four....."

As if. "I'm fairly certain the aging process doesn't work that way."

2015-07-31 07:04:53

●

"/Exactly./ You could be my dad...is that...is that a gray hair?" She teased, pretending to look at his hair.

She furrowed her eyebrows. "What, did you think you'd stop aging when Tassek dies or something?"

2015-07-31 07:06:53

🌀

"No, you're too old, and no it's not!" He bit his lip and pulled his hair in front of his eyes to check.

Now I was confused. "No? I didn't think I'd stop aging at all?"

2015-07-31 07:09:05

"/I'm/ the old one?! You lived before the internet was even worth while!"

"...You too? Ren thought the same thing."

2015-07-31 07:10:50

🌀

"We didn't need internet, that's what talking and newspapers were for!"

"Well, it's not as if anyone /told/ me this before....." I brushed my hand through my hair. So if I died at all, it would /have/ to be violently? I couldn't age, or grow up, and....oh dear, Tassek would hate me even /more/ if he found out that I was 'immortal' too, and he'd bother Terezi further about turning him, and eventually they'll start asking questions at work, probably, Anndrea would live forever too, that was, great, I think, but if she'd have to live without me for eternity, I wonder if, ah... My breathing quickened a bit along with my heart rate. Oh, not this again, please, it'd been so long, I didn't think I had anything left to worry about.... To anyone else this wouldn't even make /sense/ to be worrying about, I mean, immortality, that should be great, right? But then there was me, never able to see the obvious bright side of these things, instead I just have to make it worse for everyone by pointing out all the terrible downsides and making everyone think I'm crazy with these damned panic attacks, and just when she was starting to like me too, maybe? No, this was for the best, I was a horrible friend anyways, I'd just be a bother for her. It was better if she avoided me because she thought I was crazy for hating the concept of eternal life.

"Did you also walk 2 miles uphill and in the snow to school?"

She took one look at him and knew immediately what was going on. Thankfully, it looked like Kinsley or Lance wasn't around to witness this. Well, she never thought she'd be on the consoling end of this. She exhaled. "Come here." She stated. She then grabbed him and pulled him towards her. "Just let it happen, if you fight it you'll make it worse." Thankfully, panic attacks are short lived.

"A lot of the time, yeah, except it was rain."

/What/? How did she... I froze in surprise when she hugged me. I don't understand. She knows what to do? Why? Oh God, she can't read my mind too, can she? No, that doesn't even make sense, /stupid/ Seculus, you're the only one who's that intrusive, you and Calypso, and....shit, why am I talking to myself in the second person, but I'm not important, if she knows how to deal with them, she must have had them herself, ah, poor dear, what counted as fighting it anyways, am I fighting it now, oh God, /oh God/, am I making it worse?! "U-uh...."

"Because you live in England and I threw all your tea into the harbor."

"Shhh, it's alright, you don't need to talk." This was probably something completely weird to him, but by now it was normal. "Just know where you are and focus on the fact that nothing and no one here is going to hurt you."

2015-07-31 07:58:53

🌀

"That doesn't even make sense, it wasn't raining tea."

......that no one would hurt me? Well....she certainly wouldn't...Lance wouldn't.....Kinsley wouldn't, probably, I mean, I think so, he seemed nice....? I was at the shop, nothing bad happened here, except, except for Lucifer cutting me in half, he wasn't here right now, right, wait, he can't do that anymore, I'm too big, uh, no, wait, calm down, he's not here, she isn't either, no one can hurt me, don't think about those right now, stay in the moment, stay in the....

"EVERYDAY IT RAINS TEA IN FUCKING ENGLAND!"

She noticed he was starting to calm down. "You're doing good. Just keep going. You're alright. No one is going to hurt you."

2015-07-31 08:21:39

🌀

"No, we'd be all sticky. Why are you yelling?"

She was complimenting me on this? This was all very peculiar. But....I was calmer. I was breathing normally again. That was...had I ever managed it this quickly without people actually ordering me to calm down? No one is going to hurt me...well, that wasn't necessarily true, but it could be if I just didn't sleep tonight.

2015-07-31 08:36:40

"Only if you put sugar in it. Because you refuse to admit it rains tea in England."

Good. He was back to normal. She let go of him. "....Better?" she asked. Of course he was, but she was making sure.
