[[Continued from here!]]

[Eiffel feels like he's not getting his nuance through properly in text, time to ramble at top speed before he can think about what he's actually saying.]

So it's not like I'm opposed to you flirting with me because you've made it pretty clear that Gonou's okay with it and I don't want it to be weird between you guys because of me but since you guys both seem like you're being good about that whole thing I guess I'm good with it maybe I dunno it's just weird being flirted with I've never really had it from a guy before and I'm really not very good at it so whatever you I'm not gonna be as impressive or sexy or whatever back and I--

[hold on he needs to breathe]

[deuceoftears]

I also don't know how to flirt?

I mean if I were any good at it you would be less freaked out, maybe.

[littletonoidea]

Seriously? Jedao, you're like, Space Captain Casanova, you're the smoothest talker this side of the U.S.S. Snake Oil.

Re: Private > Audio

[deuceoftears]

Well I haven't done it before! I just...see opportunities and then don't squirm around horribly overthinking everything until after I've already said whatever it was!

Should I be less smooth? I can do that.

Re: Private > Audio

[littletonoidea]

...wait.

Do you not know what, like. Actual Earthican flirting is??

Re: Private > Audio

[deuceoftears]

I know what flirting is!

[Eiffel can't see his blush on audio. But Eiffel can totally tell he's defensively blushing. He takes a deep breath.]

I just mean. It doesn't matter how clever or smooth something is. If you're stressing out about it instead of -

Just. Then that's a failure.

Hey- easy, big guy. I'm not stressing out, I'm, like-- flustered? I dunno, I'm not used to being flirted with. I'm not exactly a prize catch back home, and having a crazy girlfriend turned most other people off from trying.

Re: Private > Audio

[deuceoftears]

Well, I'm not used to it either. With Gonou we just kind of went directly from best friends who Did Not Think About the Energy to kissing.

And -

And I never flirted with anybody before that either. So maybe I'm a natural talent, or whatever -

[This comes out with a brief, but intense and disproportionate amount of bitterness. He's also a natural talent at killing. He breathes, puts it away.]

But you really don't have to impress me. I already want you.

[Ruefully]

That's kind of the point?

[littletonoidea]

I mean- you know you don't have to flirt with me either then, right? I already like you. It just makes us both feel like assholes when I can't take a compliment.

[deuceoftears]

Well. I do like when you blush. Just not when you run away.

I'm willing to offer a 12-hour compliment moratorium if you let me kiss you on the face.

[littletonoidea]

[Jedao might just feel the sudden heat from Eiffel's blush through their comms.]

I-I, uh-- God, um-- o-o-oh...kaaaay?

[deuceoftears]

[Oh, yeah. That's the stuff.]

Are you going to tell me where you are, or do you want me to chase you a little?

[littletonoidea]

[Critical capacity has now been reached, and Eiffel's brain starts melting.]

I can't-- I-I have to- uhhhhhh- water my dog okay catchyoulaterbye!

[And Eiffel nearly drops his communicator in his haste to turn it off.]
