Are you back from your little date?

[burnthistown]

Curious question. What brought this up? Your time with the girl?

[butindreams]

Just wanted you to know. And you never really paid attention to anyone in Banora. Besides me :)

[burnthistown]

[Genesis is all :| :| :| right now.]

Only as far as you know.

[butindreams]

true, that's true. but i spent most of every day with you, you'd think i'd notice.

i'm sorry if i missed something i shouldn't have, gen.

[angeal has no idea how this could be construed :| ]

[burnthistown]

[Genesis = :|]

You're forgiven. We all have our blind spots.

But to answer your previous question, no. We spent the better part of practice wearing protective headgear and dancing about in baggy uniforms while hitting each other with blunt sticks -- not exactly the ideal circumstances for a budding romance, you understand.

[butindreams]

does that mean there was someone in Banora? was it that girl that asked you to the Midwinter Dance?

for you, gen, that sounds about perfect, actually.

you think seph met anyone?

[burnthistown]

Hmph. That antisocial, awkward, smug bastard? I doubt it.

[butindreams]

you know if you take out the "awkward" that could just as well describe you, gen.

[burnthistown]

You need to work on your compliments, Hewley.

[butindreams]

at least i took out the "awkward" right? and i'm just glad you've made some friends here, that's all.

[burnthistown]

"Friend" is too generous a descriptor for Sephiroth. I would perhaps consider him more of a rival.

[butindreams]

[Angeal is so confused at this point :| ]

do you, ah, think he's

[butindreams]

attractive

[burnthistown]

[Genesis is also very confused.]

My, you have a very wild imagination.

[butindreams]

i'm sorry, gen. i'm trying to ask something and it's not coming out right. i didn't know if you -- thought that way. about other guys.

[burnthistown]

Why? Are you interested?

[butindreams]

[Angeal is all >:| >:| ]

okay this is totally not the conversation i meant to have. just forget i said anything, okay?

[burnthistown]

[Genesis sighs wistfully.]

As you wish.

[butindreams]

are you mad at me? you probably are. i'm sorry, gen. i'm not trying to make you uncomfortable.

[burnthistown]

I'm not uncomfortable. However, I must say I'm curious as to why you brought up this topic to begin with.

[butindreams]

just wanted you to know that if you thought of other men that way, it wouldn't bother me. i mean, you're still my best friend. nothing would change. that's all.

[burnthistown]

Hm, and if I said I were attracted to you? Would nothing change then?

[butindreams]

i'd say you needed glasses, or better taste. but no, not even that would change anything. you'd still be my best friend, gen.

[burnthistown]

I see. Well, rest assured: my taste and vision are as sound as ever.

[butindreams]

i'm sorry, gen. i didn't do any of this the right way. i just...we're here, with all these new people and i don't want you to think that anything would make me not want to be your friend.
