That sounds about right.

[foodbin]

[After a moment, the smile fades a little.]

We might want to be a little careful about doing anything in public, since...

[the eternal hisoka problem.]

[leaberator]

... Even without that, everyone's nosy.

[ it was embarrassing. regardless. ]

[foodbin]

[She laughs.]

I don't mind talking to anyone about it, but we can keep it quiet for now.

[leaberator]

... Right.

[ a bit embarrassed: ]

Well, Lili sorta knows already.

[foodbin]

[She tilts her head.]

Did you tell her, or is she just perceptive?

[leaberator]

I told her because she was just perceptive. She couldn't figure out who, but she threatened to just ask everyone to see if anyone knew who I-- liked.

[ god. that killed him. ]

[foodbin]

What did she say after she found out? Actually, how'd you get on the subject in the first place...?

[leaberator]

Secret.

[ on the latter, anyway. ]

She said it ... made sense, 'cause we were both busybodies.

[ it was hilarious. ]

[foodbin]

[She can't help but laugh, surprised.]

Yeah, that sounds about like her. Brat.

[leaberator]

Yeah.

[ but he sounds fond because he loves. brats. he has a problem. ]

[foodbin]

...Oh, um. Sol knows, too. It was part of the task he had me do for him.

[leaberator]

[ -- gkgdsjks ]

W-wait, Sol?

[foodbin]

[She blinks.]

...Yeah. Why, is something wrong?

[leaberator]

[ he closes his eyes for a second ]

No, it just... Surprised me, that's all. It's a bit weird to think about.

[foodbin]

...Yeah, I guess so. But he's a good kid, so I don't think it'll be a problem.

[leaberator]

He is. [ the emphasis is a bit weird, maybe. ] It's just...he's a kid.

[foodbin]

Right, but so is Lili, so...

[She pauses.]

I can ask him not to bring it up, if you want. I'm sorry, I didn't realize you would mind.

[leaberator]

[ he immediately shakes his head ]

No, don't tell him that. It's not that I mind, it just... weirded me out for a second. He's... I dunno, girls are always thinking more about romance and stuff, right?

[ ........ yeah he's serious with that one ]

[foodbin]

...Seriously?

[leaberator]

[ oh he's gonna get his fucking ass kicked ]

Teenage girls. I meant with teenagers?

[foodbin]

Right. I’m choosing to believe you brought them up out of nowhere, because I know you didn’t just refer to me, a grown woman, as a girl who thinks about romance all the time.

[leaberator]

I was comparing Lili and Sol!

[ he's GOING to DIE ]

[foodbin]

Right, because I’m sure she has nothing better to do.

[leaberator]

[ how does he undig this hole ]

That's not what I'm saying-- ugh, never mind, you're right, I'm wrong, can we please stop talking about this?
