[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: (nope nope nope nope nope)

[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!!

[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: (I don't really get it but...)

Because that's terrifying.

[personal profile] sereneadherent 2021-07-16 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
... 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: (Ehehehe well...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2021-07-16 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
That's terrifying too!

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

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

Nyuh...

[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 don't really get it but...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2021-07-16 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
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: (recadreuse 08)

[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?
forgeabettertomorrow: (sure whatever you say)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2021-07-16 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[HNNNNGH]

A...Allura...

[He doesn't comment more on his feelings despite the clear blush on his cheeks because this is a public forum, but one day maybe he can sit with Marianne and talk about his fears of any sort of lasting relationships.]

I...Thanks...Marianne. That means a lot...
