Please don't take this the wrong way, because I'm really happy that you're comfortable around me!! [ She is! She's touched. ]

... But we really have to get you used to more people, just in case.

[MAYA. . .]

. . . I'm not a dog who needs to be socialized!!

[is he, tho]

I'm not saying you are! I just want you to feel more comfortable with the group!

[. . . oh. eases up a bit at the clarification]

That's not what I meant by "comfortable". . . I wouldn't say I'm uncomfortable with the group or anything. It's more like--

You know when you're on a date with someone, and you're super nervous about it, but then the conversation goes so smoothly and easily that you forget you were ever nervous at all?

[nodnods!!]

That kind of comfort.

Ohhhh! Okay, so like. Date-level feeling of ease!

Okay, that's less concerning.

[ WHEW. He's fine. ]

[personal profile] ordimame 2025-06-07 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! That!

[he thought it was obvious what he meant since. . . dating show. . . but at the same time, he did have his brain scrambled this week so her confusion is valid]

But I have thought about who I'd pick from other angles, too.
scooptimistic: (That actually looks concerning)

[personal profile] scooptimistic 2025-06-07 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Did that give you a few more options?
ordimame: (37)

[personal profile] ordimame 2025-06-08 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
As I told Ieiri-san, if I choose "someone who is the opposite of me," then I'd pick Ringo-san, Messmer-san, Shindou-san, La Roux-san or Luka-san.

[he rolls his shoulders back in a shrug]

Maybe I'll do that one week, but not this time.

Yeah, hopefully by that point, we'll have narrowed it down a little more.

[ Positive! Thinking!! ]

I think we will, just by process of elimination.

[ Huh... Ignoring what Maya's saying, that's fine for these young folks but surely not her-- ]

... You aren't terrible company either.

[. . . pfffft. just gives her a lopsided, amused smile]

Come now, Odile-san. You can do better than that.
