Whaaaaat?

[Look at this innocent smile~]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

It was just one date!!

That doesn't mean anything yet!

[roseeclair]

Your blush says otherwise. And do you really wanna repeat that to Allura's face?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT ANYTHING ANYWHERE!! I'M BEING SET UP!!

[roseeclair]

Ugh... you are such a tsundere...

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Is 'soondairy' a term for someone being framed? What do you want me to say here?? That my heart skips a beat when she enters a room?? That I feel like a better person when she's around??

[roseeclair]

It's a start~

[MAKO]

But yeah, a tsundere is you: someone who's totally in love with someone and is afraid to admit it and acts all grumpy about it!

[She explained this (in nicer terms) to Allura when being commissioned as a shopping buddy.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

"IN LOVE?!"

[roseeclair]

Yup, that's the "tsuntsun" part~! [KINO MAKOTO!] The "deredere" part's when you act sweet towards her!

[forgeabettertomorrow]

WHICH HASN'T HAPPENED!

[Except it kinda just did shhh]

[roseeclair]

Really~?

[God she loves trolling him, she's always wanted a big brother. (Not for trolling about love lives, but this is a big plus.)]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

...Y...Yes...?

[She knows something. WHAT DOES SHE KNOW.]

[roseeclair]

[What she said in the forge; she knows they like each other, and she seriously doubts those two would have totally nothing to admit date. (The mun, however, is popcorning that dinner like mad and trying VERY hard to keep that info separate.)]

Nothing at all?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

N...Nope...!

I haven't done anything sweet other than cook for her...!

[crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap]

don't mind me, just inserting myself into this conversation!

[sereneadherent]

Oh, I didn't realize you were courting someone.

Congratulations!

YES GOOD

[forgeabettertomorrow]

C-COURTING?!

I-IT WAS DINNER! ONCE!!

[sereneadherent]

[EEK RETREAT RETREAT]

I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have assumed. It's just... the way you were talking...

[Why is she so bad at this?!]

I hope it was a lovely dinner, at least.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[OH CRAP NO]

N-No! No, it wasn't—

I mean, it was! It was a great night but I can't....I mean! I can't just say we're courting because that wouldn't take her feelings into account and I'm...!

Eternally confused!!

[sereneadherent]

[Oh, he's not upset with her. Just equally hopeless at this. Good.]

I-I see. That's very noble of you, to consider her thoughts and feelings on the matter.

Perhaps you should ask her, then?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Because that's terrifying.

[sereneadherent]

... I imagine it is, yes.

[Awkward silence.]

Maybe you'll be lucky and she'll tell you her feelings unprompted.

[Best scenario, as she sees it.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

That's terrifying too!

I-I mean...I've never...

What I mean to say is, I don't think I'm...

Nyuh...

[/vague gestures]

[sereneadherent]

[Good thing Marianne is well-versed in social anxiety and vague gestures!]

What? You deserve a happy relationship, Darrin. Don't be hard on yourself.

[Pot, kettle, etc.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

I...

I mean, I appreciate the sentiment but...

I don't...it's not that I wouldn't want one...?

[It's a question of whether he should]

[And if he'd ever truly be good enough.]

[sereneadherent]

[For that, Darin gets a sad smile. Marianne understands, she truly does.
But she also wants him to let go of those demons and let himself be happy.]

Be that as it may, I still think you deserve to let yourself be happy. And I hope this lady you've had dinner with feels the same way.

[She'll leave her thoughts at that.]

What is her name, if you don't mind my asking?
