Hey, cut it out. There's nothing embarrassing about studying fables. I'm going to be a curator — or a writer, maybe both! One day, that is. The first chapter would have to be on ... [ hmmm what a hard choice!! ] Bigfoot, obviously.

[ ... leaning over to whisper to jack. ]

Forget it, she's sixteen.

[ AIN'T NO CRADLE ROBBER aaaand back to Mer. ]

You, uh ... and he?

[snowymischief]

[Oh god, she's so lucky he promised to drop that.] Yeah, after you forcibly kissed me.

[Also Jamie stahp.] Good. [And now he's blushing because oh god Mer, don't answer that, pls.]

[myownhand]

[Scoffing. Calm down Jack. She's got this.]

We're friends. He was just bein' a dobber yesterday and I had t'shut him up.

Unfortunately it seems that everyone wants t'talk about it as if it meant somethin' else.

[Right? Right.]

[undergrad]

Oh! Yeah, I've shut people up that way before. Usually we both stay down for a while afterwards, though.

[ cover your pRECIOUS GUARDIAN EARS, JACK. ]

LEGIT DON'T KNOW JAMIE WHY

[snowymischief]

[... w h a t]

[snowymischief]

[OH DEAR MAN IN THE MOON, JACK DID NOT NEED TO HEAR THAT, HE IS KINDA TURNING RED BECAUSE WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION.]

[snowymischief]

[AND MERIDA IS STANDING RIGHT THERE, THIS IS NOT WHAT HE WANTS TO HEAR, WHAT HAPPENED TO WHEN YOU WERE TEN AND DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THIS STUFF.]

DONE

[snowymischief]

[Okay now is brain is kinda working again.] Jamie!

OKAY MY TURN. JESUS JACK SUCH A SHOW HOG

[myownhand]

[DOES HE MEAN....]

[myownhand]

[NOT EVEN LOOKING AT YOU JACK BECAUSE THEN SHE'LL BLUSH AND EVERYTHING WILL BE AWFUL.]

[myownhand]

[SHE WOULD NEVER---]

[myownhand]

[EXCEPT SHE SORT OF DID.]

NOW I'M DONE.

[myownhand]

[NOPE NO WORDS. ACTUALLY GOING TO JUST SCUTTLE A LITTLE BEHIND JACK RIGHT NOW because this is your bro and you know how to handle your bro AND HIDE HER FACE IN YOUR JACKET.

no one gets to see how red she is right now. NO ONE.]

omg

[undergrad]

[ just going to stare for a long minute as this pair huffs and blushes and wow, just get a room already. ]

I mean ... I've never made out with anyone and have no useful input at all.

[ eyeing jack because lolwat. ]

you should feel bad

[snowymischief]

[Hold the phone.] You what? Then what was all... [Oh god, he is just blushing, and now he wants to hide behind Mer, but she's got it worse, so he has to let her hide.]

n o p e

[undergrad]

[ have a Look. and a nod to merida, since he's censoring himself for her sake. ]

r u d e

[snowymischief]

[... Jamie why, tho. He gives Merida a pat to try and comfort her, then turn back to Jamie. Boooooooi.] Ooooookay, you can't do that Merida anymore. Me? I can probably handle it, but you gotta be a bit more careful with her.

[undergrad]

[ man, she was acting like a dudebro HE DOESN'T KNOW. ]

Okay, alright! [ craning his head. ] Sorry, Merida!

[snowymischief]

[Just give him a sec to talk to her. Without. Facing her because oh god, he's still blushing a bit.] H-Hey, Merida? You okay?

1/2 WELL FORTUNATELY MY RESPONSE WORKS HERE TOO

[myownhand]

I'm fine. I just -- [Fffffffffffffffffffuck she's turning red] haven't exactly made out with anyone either.

[OR REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

BEFORE NOW.]

2/2

[myownhand]

[Then she'll swat at him a bit.]

And don't worry. I know all about sex and foreplay and all that-- [Even if it makes her redder at the moment] -- My parent's are exactly th'most "private" people in that area.


[SHE KNOWS ABOUT IT

SHE JUST CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S THINKING ABOUT IT.]

[snowymischief]

[WHY IS EVERYONE GIVING OUT THIS INFO TODAY, SERIOUSLY. Jack just got a whole lot redder, and he mouths to Jamie 'help me'.] That's... uh...

[What do D:] S-Sorry. You... need anything?

1/3

[myownhand]

[DEEP BREATH. STILL HOLDING ON TO THE JACKET--]

2/3

[myownhand]

[-- And EXHALE.

Both of her hands clap on to Jack's cheeks to make him look at her--]

I'm fine. Don't worry-- [Snrt. Oh my god they probably both look ridiculous being this red--] I'm okay.

[OKAY SHE MAY HAVE GIGGLED A BIT DESPITE HER BEST EFFORTS]

DONE

[myownhand]

[TURNING TO JAMIE NOW.]

And you. [POUTING. BUT NOT REALLY FULL FORCE POUTING] Y'should know better than t'bring up that sort of topic with someone y'just met --[whosefromthemiddleages] --and I know Jack's your best friend, but you said it yourself.

[A BEAT.]

How many years has he been with out that sort of contact?

[BLUNT MERIBRO IS BACK FOLKS.

She's the hero Jack deserves, but not the one he needs right now]
