"Well, if you stare into the void long enough, it stares back. Even if it is involuntary, it's one of the greatest things ever." She giggled as his rambled on.

What? What on Earth did that mean? "....if you say so?" Best response I could come up with. "So.....how have you been?" That was a good conversation starter, right?

2015-04-26 21:51:04

●

"I have been...fine, one could say." Another breeze blew by and her pony tail blew within it. "I am, however, interested in how you have been."

2015-04-26 21:55:32

🌀

....sigh. This question was going to be the bane of my existence. "I have been.....well, I found a job." That wasn't a lie. I just wasn't telling her how depressed I'd been. I didn't want her to worry, too.

2015-04-26 22:00:06

●

"That's wonderful." She smiled at him, her pearly whites exposed once more. "Is it anything like this one?"

2015-04-26 22:04:01

🌀

The smile inspired a warm feeling inside me. I gave her one back. "I genuinely have no idea. It appears to be a table-waiting job, but I'm not entirely certain. It's doubtful that any human job could be quite like this one, though."

"Well, I am positive you will be perfect at it. It is a shame that Terezi unfortunately can not go in the sun. I would of loved to watch you on your first day." It was safe to say she even missed the sun.

2015-04-26 22:09:23

🌀

Heheh. I'm blushing. "Thank you.... Well, the owner of the establishment told me to return at six tomorrow night, so perhaps you might."

2015-04-26 22:25:07

●

"I hope so." She then noticed the pinkness in his cheeks. "Oh, have I...embarrassed you?" It was as if she was almost unsure of the word.

2015-04-26 22:28:52

🌀

"N-no, just flattered." Right. "I'm sure I won't do /that/ well, especially considering I have no prior experience."

2015-04-26 22:33:23

●

"Well, may your dear Tassek could-" Oh. Right. "Oh, I apologize. I didn't mean to pry into that. It isn't my business. "

2015-04-26 22:39:32

🌀

Well, he probably wouldn't, whatever it was, but I was curious. "No, it's perfectly fine. What were you going to say darling could do?"

2015-04-26 22:42:43

●

"I was about to say that your dear could help you act more human since you have helped him for so long." She suggested. "However...I unfortunately do not know how to win his trust back."

2015-04-26 22:46:42

🌀

"....yes, that is the problem." I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. "Especially as he is under the influence of only the devil, who hates me himself with a passion. I suppose I could ask Zane as well. He's quite the helpful sort."

2015-04-26 22:52:12

●

"Yes, he might be the best person to ask in this situation." Her mint green eyes gazed into his. "I do wish I could help in any other way. You seem like you need my company as well."

2015-04-26 22:56:01

🌀

I blinked and glanced away nervously. I couldn't see her face very well, anyway. Too bad. Hm? "....your help up until now has been more than enough. Thank you."

2015-04-26 22:59:48

●

"I think you need more help than you would like to lead on." She held her own wrists.

2015-04-26 23:03:24

🌀

"............" I wasn't sure how to respond to that. Did I make myself out to be the independent sort? I'd never consciously noticed it. But...."...no, I just don't like to inconvenience others with my problems. They have enough of their own." I rubbed the back of my neck absently. Sure, I needed help sometimes, I just didn't want to ask for it.

2015-04-26 23:08:38

●

"Very well, then I guess you'll have to tell me your problems." She reached out and took his hand, her nails french manicured. "I don't have many, and I am more than willing to listen to yours."

2015-04-26 23:12:34

🌀

I stared for a moment, face going red. What was she doing? This wasn't what was supposed to happen. Darling and the others got to hold hands, have cute, nerdy relationships. We just sat back and watched. Things like this were off-limits, because we didn't get the chance. I liked it, though. "Y-y-you don't have to do that. I'm sure it would be, less than enjoyable...."

2015-04-26 23:20:14

●

"I disagree." She countered, but her voice never faltering from that calm quietness. "I want to hear everything about your problems, even if we run out of time, I can just hear them again when you return."

2015-04-26 23:23:50

🌀

Everything began going fuzzy, well, fuzzi/er/. I was waking up again. "Th-then perhaps....perhaps next time. Thank you, dear....I appreciate it so, so much." I took her hand back and gave it a little squeeze. I was supposed to do that, right? Then I blinked blearily awake on the couch with a smile on my face.

2015-04-26 23:31:19

●

"Until next time, then." She felt the squeeze, and then he faded.

Terezi had remained in her room, putting the finishing touches on a dress. She could probably take it in now, but she wanted to make sure it was indeed perfect.

2015-04-26 23:34:46

🌀

I got up and began the search for my glasses. The blanket had fallen off the couch, and I folded that up as well. Eventually I found them under the coffee table, how they'd gotten there I wasn't quite sure, and put them back on, almost walking into a doorframe before remembering to clean the stains from before off on my turtleneck. Then I went and got another apple out of the fridge.

Eventually, Terezi returned to the living room, and saw Seculus up and about inside the kitchen. "You seem happy." She hummed. "I take it you slept well, then?"
