'later' gets to come over... dinner! or, well, being cooped up over notes and dinner. god knows where they're settled at the moment, but there's tea on and vax is sitting crosslegged close to emet, writing stuff down in that little notebook from last week. thorough.
[ mmf. he will save emet the usual gremlin trouble of making any commentary, instead reaching to sweep anything that falls off away and off of the table. ]
Could be relevant to the refracted, right? [ think of it like business!!! ]
[ he's still snickering, but vax makes a concerted effort to put his arms around his shoulders as he's trying to get away. he is shaken off easily... but this is
so funny. it's cute!!! ] Did you not know that? About your friend?
...no. We always simply... were. I paid no mind to it, with him or with Azem.
[these things happen, you see, when you are emotionally repressed.]
You reminded me of-- the way I felt toward them, and then... what followed, followed.
[because sometimes you go 'ah yes this person reminds me of my terrible gremlin friends who i care about' and then you make out with that person and have to reconsider some things about friendships]
[ glad to be your emotional support bird and also your therapist, maybe?
he will stop hanging off of his shoulders like a dead weight of a couple of grapes, and returns to his set, instead, propping his chin in his hand. amused!! genuinely amused. ]
Guess you'll have to do it for real when you get out of here, huh? 's good for you.
[ once emet's settled - and thank goodness for that, frankly, because it lowers their height difference to something much more managable - vax is the one to get up, resting a foot on the back of the chair and then pushing up to balance on it, so he can...
...get his fingers into his hair. it's not the first time he's done this, and it likely won't be the last, but vax's hands are steady, and the gesture is more soothing than anything else. ]
So, you're in love with your friend. Sounds like you have been for a while, maybe just didn't know how to put words to it. Is that right?
