Then why don't we?

[Being smooth about friendship is a thing apparently. But he's touched, honestly, he is!!]

Even if I can't quite tell if I was of any help here, yet. You do know you can ask me these things without causing me to owe a favor?

[gopluckyourself]

alright fine. we're friends

[Thank goodness it's text and she can make that sound more grudging than it actually is. Her image is maintained!]

well now I know that

you are being helpful this is just really hard because he's the worst and I don't want to screw anything up

I have delicate line to walk

[twocomplex]

[He's onto you, Beatrice.]

You won't mess anything up. The more delicate you view that line, the more delicate it becomes.

I don't know him so well, but I know enough that your caution won't help him.

[gopluckyourself]

what you're saying is I'm overthinking this

is that right

[twocomplex]

Well, yes. But I also mean to say you should keep in mind that he likely is overthinking this, as well.

[That Wirt guy overthought greeting him and offering him book suggestions, so. He's got a Feeling he's right.]

[gopluckyourself]

oh

[Talk about pointing out the obvious. There's a short pause in between replies, almost as if Beatrice is taking a moment to curse herself for forgetting a key part of Wirt's personality. ]

there's no likely about it he's definitely doing that

[twocomplex]

Do you suppose he's wondering things like, "are these truly dates if she hasn't used the word date?"

[gopluckyourself]

of course he is

criminy

what a moron

[Pot, kettle, dumb teenager.]

[twocomplex]

Come now, it all works out in the end. If it's too personal to speak face to face, I find these devices are rather useful at cutting it down.

Really, it's easy to forget the anxieties of a partner while dealing with your own. Just so you know.

[gopluckyourself]

I should ask him in person so he doesn't think I've left the house for good again

look I don't know how anxious your partners [Mattias. Totally Mattias. She definitely means Mattias.] have been but his anxieties are impossible to miss

also he's not my partner that sounds weird

[twocomplex]

[BEATRICE.......]

Boyfriend, then? I'm sure the two of you will conquer this together.

[gopluckyourself]

no that's weirder

that's much weirder go back to partner

[twocomplex]

I'm afraid it's too late. Your fate is sealed.

Do have fun now.
