oooh someone's touchy.

[myownhand]

Yes it's all well and good that y'found a few games t'look at.

But we aren't talking about that pocky game.

Comments

yep done

[bringsthefrost]

Are you talking about me?

[Pause.]

I mean not ME me. One of those weird time shenanigans or whatever it is my mun calls it. That kind of me?

[myownhand]

[................]





Maybe....?


[yes.]

[bringsthefrost]

[Excuse him he's just going to be a little weirded out for a moment before he smooths it over.]

This is weird.

[myownhand]

That's what I've been sayin'.

[bringsthefrost]

Well a hint or two in advance sure would've been helpful clearing the ice.

[lolol puns. He sighs and rakes a hand through his hair.]

So...you and this. other me kissed?

[myownhand]

[SHE JUST ROLLS HER EYES BECAUSE YEAH THAT'S A GOOD CONVERSATION STARTER.

MEN.]

Yes. And it was supposed t'just be a game. You-- He even said so.

[bringsthefrost]

[WOMEN.]

Okay yeah this is really weird. I'm not even used to being around people I can't imagine how it'd feel if I liked a girl and she said it was just a game.

[myownhand]

[DHOASIDIHSOAXHOISADHOSIAD]

YOU. HE-- Said it was a game. And he doesn't like me.

[AND THAT'S THAT.]

[bringsthefrost]

Well y'know sometimes people say things and they mean something else entirely.

[HE'S HONESTLY NOT SURE WHAT THE OTHER HIM IS THINKING. Merida's nice but he himself is not...really relationship material yet.]

[myownhand]

All I know is apparently I kiss weird and that's it.

[SHE DOES NOT CONSIDER HERSELF RELATIONSHIP MATERIAL EITHER. AS ESTABLISHED FROM THEIR EARLIER CONVERSATION.]

I just don't know what I did wrong.

[bringsthefrost]

[Kiss weird? Well the only way he's going to know how that is is if...

No, Jack. Stop that train of thought.

He sighs and tucks his staff into the crook of his shoulder.]

I'm sorry I can't help much.

[myownhand]

[Jack, this is how these things start okay?]

No, it's okay. It's not your fault.



Sort of.

[She sends him a glare]

Be clearer with girls you kiss, okay?

[bringsthefrost]

[He raises an eyebrow and gives a shrug.]

Hey, I'm not looking to kiss anyone anytime soon but I'll keep that in mind.

[myownhand]

Well, it'll clear up a lot of confusion in the future.

[She's just sayin.]

[bringsthefrost]

Fine, fine.

[Seriously, there's no kisses in his future yet. But he does appreciate her...concern? Yeah, he'll take it as concern.]

1/3

[myownhand]

[Pouting. She's still upset. ALWAYS]

I still don't get what I even did. S'not my fault.

2/3

[myownhand]

[...WAIT.]

[myownhand]

Does it have anythin' t'do with the fact that it was my first kiss?

[SHE CLEARLY DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME BOUNDARIES...]

[bringsthefrost]

Maybe? I mean I dunno, I've never even had my first kiss.

[myownhand]

[DAIOPXHNIOASDIOASXNOASDHOSADXNOASDADPASD]

If I had known that--

[bringsthefrost]

What's that got to do with anything?

[myownhand]

Well, I wasn't exactly gentle, but I'd just assumed you wouldn't mind.

Because... I guess... I figured you... were experienced???

[YOU'RE 300 YEARS OLD JACK, WHAT IS SHE SUPPOSED TO THINK???]

[bringsthefrost]

I might be three hundred and eighteen but that doesn't mean I have any kissing experience.

[a beat]

The whole nobody-being-able-to-see-you thing kinda does that in.

[myownhand]

[WHAT HAS SHE DONE??????]

What can I do? [A moment] What should I do t'make it up t'yo-- t'him?


[OHGOD HOW DOES SHE JUST MESS THINGS UP?]

[bringsthefrost]

[He pauses. He's not entirely sure if there's any major differences between the other Jack and him, but the core is still the same.]

It's hard to say.
