seems like you got this figured out, then

what're you worried about with all this? you're both good kids. just keep being good kids. i don't want to have to pick a side

[laminae]

[They aren't good kids, is what he'd like to argue.]

um well we don't have a lot of experience with relationships
and we're both good at screwing stuff up
so we want to try avoiding that

[owllady]

what's the difference between friendship and a "relationship"?

[ Wow that sounds like a set up for a joke and I can't figure out a punchline-- ONWARD ]

just do what you want do. enjoy each other. break it off when it gets bad and try to be friends again

[laminae]

[He can't tell if that's a rhetorical question or a joke or what, so he just... answers, like a good kid.]

there's a lot more big emotions with a relationship
also you want to kiss the other person a lot

you make it sounds so easy
and also casual

[owllady]

if that's what you want

doesn't have to be hard
look, i've been around for a long time. been with a lot of different people
people weed themselves out pretty fast
you'll figure out the ones worth caring about

[laminae]

i don't want anything casual with him, i want to take this seriously

i guess you're right
i hope Varian and i have already gotten past that point
we've been through a lot together

[owllady]

so i dont know what the problem is
sounds like you know what you want to do
you're going to do fine. relationships really don't have to be that hard

[laminae]

ok
ok yeah
going to do fine

[He's just going to repeat that to himself a few times. Out loud.]

thanks

[owllady]

you'll make it fine.

and my offer stands. things don't work out, you have a place to go.

[laminae]

thanks Eda, i'll keep it in mind
