[ —It's not that he doesn't think she means it. He's sure she means it. But at the same time... ] [ Lupine pushes a hand through his hair. He asked her to text him later, he all but told her that as long as she was sure...
But he scrolls back up their last few texts, runs his thumb over the screen under some of her words, and. And instead of actually answering her question, he texts back: ]
🐺: When you say interesting change of pace though 🐺: You mean this would be a first, right?
Hikage: Fooling around with someone? No. Since dating Serenity? Yes. Though technically I do put things that happen during games into consideration, so I guess it wouldn't be the first time since we started dating.
[She doesn't exactly like the idea of kiss and tell, so she'll leave Izanagi out of it.]
[ ...There's a really long pause before his next reply, because he goes out into the garden. He'd rather go to the gym — he wants to fight something, and he's settling for working out, but they don't have a gym attached to their dorm, so that'd be an hour round trip while Ren waits.
And he already feels crappy enough about the length of this pause. But he needs to clear his head, needs to sort out whatever the hell his problem is with a nice, cute, sweet, good— ]
[Now it’s her turn for the radio silence for several minutes while she decides what to say.]
Hikage: I hope I didn’t make you uncomfortable. You’re allowed to say so. I guess I just thought, since you said I could text you if I was still thinking of it after the game, that meant you were interested too. Hikage: If I was wrong then I apologize for making you feel awkward. Hikage: For what it’s worth it was only ever about having fun because I thought you were attractive.
🐺: It's not that 🐺: You definitely didn't do anything wrong okay? 🐺: This is all me 🐺: And if you still wanna be friends
[ fuck him did this just suddenly turn into a 'I hope we can still be friends' talk ] [ Lupine pauses, staring at the last text he just sent, resisting the urge to smack himself in the face with his phone. ]
[Ah. She wasn't expecting that. She might be a little disappointed, but it's easy to not let that show via text.]
Hikage: If that's something that you want, then I'm glad if we could be friends. Hikage: I'm glad you don't think badly of me from how I behaved before.

Hikage: I'm not completely turning you off for agreeing, am I?

Re: Day 417 - After Monster Bingo Prom
🐺: Sorry for the long silence
Re: Day 417 - After Monster Bingo Prom
Hikage: Did you want to talk some more?
Re: Day 417 - After Monster Bingo Prom
🐺: Just thinking
🐺: I'm sorry
[ Because he is. All she wanted was a little fun, and he's screwing that up. And maybe he's got her all wrong, they've only just met... ]
🐺: But I don't think this is gonna happen
[ ...but right now, at least, he can't. ]

Re: Day 417 - After Monster Bingo Prom
🐺: Of course I don't
[ And he wants to apologize again, but he doesn't want to make things weird. ]
🐺: I'm glad to know you
🐺: Looking forward to getting to know you better
