"There are hotter fish in the sea"?

Gee, thanks, mun. You really know how to cheer a gal up.

[ she rolls her eyes and folds her arms. ]

Whatever, let's just get this over with - I have a father to visit.

[saslkdgj. hi i'm horrible and i couldn't resist.]

But fish aren't hot.

[vavavroom]

[ screams???? ]

No, it's-- [ gdi mun, look what you did. ] It's about men. Not literally fish.

[waterlocked]

O- Oh, so it's like a saying?

[vavavroom]

Yes, exactly. She was trying to be clever and failed miserably. [ a small smile. ] Sorry for the confusion.

[waterlocked]

[he looks down sadly] I don't think she failed, my mun thought it was funny. [he looks up and returns a very small smile.] Why'd she say it in the first place?

[vavavroom]

Her meager attempt to cheer me up over a break up.

[waterlocked]

A break up?

[vavavroom]

Yeah, I...



well. Technically, we haven't broken up yet. But it's pretty much a given.

[waterlocked]

Oh, I'm sorry. [a pauses as he frowns.] Did he do something mean to you?

[vavavroom]

[ yes. no. maybe? ]

It's - complicated. I think he was just.. confused for a long time.

[waterlocked]

Was he trying to figure something out then?

[vavavroom]

...I think so.

He just went about it all wrong.

[waterlocked]

[even though he hasn't been... brought up to speed, he can still kind of see how Mako's floundering has hurt her. he mulls over something quietly before offering another small smile.] Maybe that guy wasn't meant to be your, uhm, fish. But, you're really strong.

[vavavroom]

[ no, maybe not.

but she kind of really hoped he was.

still, she gives a small smile in return for his efforts. ]

I'm not that strong. But - thanks.

[waterlocked]

To me you are.

[vavavroom]

[ she laughs a little, reaching over to ruffle his hair. ]

Careful, tiger. I'm vulnerable, you know. It wouldn't be very nice of you to flatter me like this then leave me hanging.

[ a little, playful wink. whatever whatever, heartache can bite her. ]

[waterlocked]

[help, i need an adult.......]

I-- [a light blush spreads across the bridge of his nose and cheeks like wildfire. yep, he can't even speak properly right now.] I'm sorry--

[vavavroom]

[ another little laugh. ]

I'm just teasing, kid. [ leaning down, she presses a light kiss to that blushing cheek. ] Thanks for reminding me what it feels like to laugh.

[waterlocked]

[his eyes widen a little as he lets out a small squeak. sorry, he isn't used to beautiful going around and kissing him on the cheek. after the initial shock is over he looks up and smiles.] Oh, y-yeah sure.

[vavavroom]

[ what a cutie~ ]

You okay?

[waterlocked]

[and just think of who he grows up to be~ he sighs as he nods his head.]

Y- Yeah, I'm fine. [he hesitates slightly and looks off to the side nervously..] It's just... you were-- you...

[vavavroom]

[ shhhhhhhhhhhh ignorance is bliss ]

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have teased you like that.

[waterlocked]

[that it is indeed! he tries his hardest to look up at her, but nope. heee's still to flustered.]

It's-- it's okay. I've been through worse than that. [he awkwardly pauses as he twiddles some with his fingers.] But-- it got you to smile.

[vavavroom]

It did. You're pretty good at that.

[waterlocked]

[he tenses slightly. sorry this is probably the first time he's ever heard anyone say he's actually good at something.]

I am?
