Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

If Booker Storm knows I used to be afraid of him...

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

You think he'll use that against you?

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

I think he'll make fun of me.

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

Remember the dress.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

The dress didn't even feel like it worked that well.

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

Oh...

[sounds disappointed]

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

He got flustered for a bit but then just stopped looking at me.

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

Don't let him look away.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

Grabbing him by the face and forcing him to look felt like it'd be a bit much. He was already accusing me of trying to seduce him.

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

Hah. Well, if making him uncomfortable is something that makes you uncomfortable, there's no point in pushing it.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

I'm not going to start actually hitting on Booker Storm just to make him uncomfortable! No way!

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

That's fair.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

Anyway, we talked and basically agreed that I'll just start meeting him at his level? Meaning we'll just be assholes at each other.

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

Is that what you want?

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

Not really. It's not like I mind that kind of combative interaction in itself? But it's only fun when you actually know where you stand with the other person? I can never figure out what's going on with Booker Storm.

[sigh]

I think I had overly high expectations for working with a team even before, and remembering Finch has only made that worse.

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

... Aah. I'm sorry to hear that, I thought things were nice for you at Cirrus.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

Don't get me wrong, they're not terrible or anything. And I do like being a member of Cirrus.

But, well... it's a Family, not a family. You know?

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

[looks down at his coffee]

Yes. I know.

There's some kind of irony to it, I suppose. I don't think any of us chose Finch, but...

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

But it was like coming home for the first time. At least it felt like that to me.

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

[a soft nod with a wry smile]

Mm, I know exactly what you mean.

I remember something like it from before... from Japan. But I know that was a family I chose and built myself.

I have no explanation for Finch. [chuckles]

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

Maybe Finch was just a miracle. The kind you only get once.

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

Oh? Did all of that start with Dandelion, or with you?

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

...What do you mean?

Re: day 254, evening

[fullcursemeal]

Miracles.

Re: day 254, evening

[ahahadotwav]

Ah.

Maybe it's a witch thing.
