okay but apparently not doing anything is hanging out and doing something is a date so i don’t understand

so if someone goes out of their way to call it a date it’s probably
not just as friends right

and what the hell does friends even mean in this world anyway like
what’s the difference between friends and
friends

and i guess that makes sense but
i don’t know

does it mean more the more you’re worried about it, or something?

I mean, by that definition when we're all sitting on the couch moonlacing, that would be hanging out, right? So it makes sense. I think there would be a difference between friends, *friends*, and ... a couple? As in, friends who don't do more than hands holding and hugs, friends who do do more than hands holding and hugs, and then people who want to be together with each other primarily and not so much with other people regularly? At least that is my understanding. And yeah, how much you worry would make a difference. But mostly, what happens after, and what you want or don't want to happen after, would make a difference.

yeah i guess that makes sense

oh
yeah

[ Why did his chest suddenly hurt so badly? He rubbed at it a little aimlessly, frowning at the message. It made sense. And it meant him and Sizhui were *friends*, and that was fine, right?

That’s what they had agreed. And it wasn’t like either of them were... he knew Sizhui had a lot of people he liked. That was fine.

But why did he kind of wish there was another step up between the two? ]

see that’s what i said
figure out what you want to happen after

but i mean

what if it doesn’t really matter what you want anyway

[ Jin Ling, you're the one who's getting asked on dates, don't look at him. Sizhui might be a little too lost in the whole Jingyi is gone to actually think of any of these quite applying to him right now. You might have to point it out to him. ]

What you want matters. It might not make a difference to what you have to do, but that doesn't mean it doesn't matter. Trust me. We Lans are pretty big on the whole doing the right thing thing. But that doesn't make what you want any less valid. And, sometimes, things can work out.

[ there’s a long pause

long

longer ... ]

well

you know as well as i do that there are things i can’t do
so there’s things i probably shouldn’t want, either

but i

look do you want to
do a date
thing
maybe

with me i mean
i’m not asking about the couple stuff i know we already talked about that
i’m not

i just

[ ...

Wait.

Date?

Oh. Oh! ]

Yes. Wait. Yes! Do you have something you'd like us to do for it, or we get to think of one together?

[ He'll just ignore the couples non-question for right now because he doesn't hAVE AN ANSWER. ]

[ it’s fine they can just be “Friends” with italics and a capital f ]

i don’t have anything in particular

apparently
sports?
count?

but we should do something you like to do

I have heard the parks on level one are really nice, and they should be getting greener and more alive as spring is coming here. We can go exploring things up there? We do training and such every morning already, so that might be not too interesting. I've heard that there are people going exploring outside of the city, but I think we should be very well prepared for that one.

we can go to the parks whenever you want, i take fairy running there all the time

and
that’s!!
of course training with you is interesting!! don’t be stupid!! but maybe we could find something we don’t normally train in
like

water...?
swimming? i mean i know how to swim pff who could claim to be related to yunmeng jiang and not but
do they do a lot of swimming in gusu

we could totally go exploring
how much preparation would it really need anyway???

but there are other things too like
there are a lot of places with weird foods or
dancers or entertainment or whatever

you play music so you like music right
i’m sure we could find music

I can swim! It's sailing that doesn't really agree with me, but I can swim. So that might be very interesting. Peak Lord Shen said they have something with which you can breathe underwater, he was testing it one time when I met him, perhaps we can look for that and see what everything underwater looks, not just in glances... And all of the rest sound good! Although if the music doesn't quite ... work I might ask that we leave early.

[ That is not one date.

That is a lot of dates. ]

breathe underwater?? like it's a spell or something?? i'd be up for trying that

well why don't we just do all of it then

and why would we stay if you thought the music was bad?? come on

I'll ask him. You're awesome, have I told you that yet? I'd like that, and I just wanted you to know that I might be picky about that. The rest should be absolutely all right.

[ ... awesome...

fuck his face is red ]

you

i mean

i know i’m awesome so why would you ever have to say it

you’re allowed to be picky? why wouldn’t you be
i’m picky about all sorts of things

Edited 2020-04-10 16:06 (UTC)

Just 'cause. I felt like saying it. It felt right to say it. I'm... not usually allowed. Rules and all. Then again, they also state that I should be decisive, so I think it will be all right.

well fine i guess i won’t stop you if you think it’s necessary

i really doubt the rules were meant to cover dates in another world entirely!!! usually they tell you not to be picky so you don’t offend your host or so you are grateful for what you have, right?

well it’s not like you have to worry about either with me so

i’d rather know what you actually like than what you’re just putting up with to obey the rules

It... If this is a date, wouldn't we be each other's hosts? But yeah, okay. I'll let you know if something doesn't work, and you will, and it'll be really good.

well

yeah I guess so
though i wouldn’t mind being your host for an evening or whatever

but cool
good
i’m

i’m looking forward to it

I'm looking forward to it, too, A-Ling. See you in the morning, and we can talk about when and where we start after training.

yeah alright

see you then

[ now he’s just going to lie here hugging his phone to himself and trying not to feel stupidly giddy for like an hour. ]
