Are you back from your little date?

Comments

[butindreams]

you texted me four times in ten minutes or whatever. gen, i know you. what's up?

[burnthistown]

Nothing, as I said. Did you have a nice chat with Sephiroth?

[butindreams]

sure. he said he had fun, you were good at kendo, and that the sensei had an underaged ninja daughter. you going to go back next week?

[burnthistown]

Of course. Why wouldn't I? That teenaged brat was certainly annoying, I will admit, but it would take more than her to drive me away from the only dojo for miles.

[butindreams]

i'm glad you had fun, gen. you enjoy sparring Seph? is he any good?

[burnthistown]

Why don't you ask him?

[butindreams]

Because I'm asking you if you had fun

[burnthistown]

Hmph. Well, it was certainly nice to spar with someone of my own skill level after so long a time, I'll grant him that.

[butindreams]

That's great, Gen. I know you hate wasting your time with people who don't have potential

[burnthistown]

If only he had potential in more than this one domain. Listening to him fumbling through Cetra lit is an absolute nightmare.

[butindreams]

he won your match, didn't he.

[burnthistown]

We sparred more than once.

[butindreams]

so did you meet anyone else there? that you liked...sparring.

[burnthistown]

There was another student who was quite decent -- Tseng was his name, I believe, one of the club's many useless officers -- but overall, it was slim pickings all around.

[butindreams]

any, uh, cute girls? who weren't teenagers. unless you thought she was cute. even if that's inappropriate.

[burnthistown]

Awfully nosy tonight, aren't you?

[butindreams]

hey, gen, i'm just asking! you know you can talk to me about that stuff. you know. right?

[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.
