DM, 15/2.

[niim]

I think bugs needs a few days to bake, you know?

[iyla]

by wednesday, perhaps. did you have fun?

[niim]

It was fun to learn that a lot of us just want more kisses all the time. You?

[iyla]

you didn’t know this ship is insatiably horny already?

it was alright. valentine’s parties aren’t something i’m very interested in though.

[niim]

Yeah but this was a very visual reminder of the fact.

Personally, I think it's just a day. But some people seem to enjoy it a hell of a lot, so I'm don't want to yuck their yum. You?

[iyla]

it’s just a day, but one that’s easier avoided. people read into things too much on valentine’s day otherwise.

[niim]

Do you want me to move on from the topic?

[iyla]

[...] i'm not bothered, nim. i'm pretty hard to bother, generally.

[niim]

You are?

[iyla]

well, i think so. [...] everyone gets bothered, but i don't consider myself overly sensitive.

[niim]

OK so I should disclose that Fox told me how badly he struck out with you. [...] Not that it means you're overly sensitive, because that was a rocky showing from him.

Just thought I'd better tell you because he has spoken to me and it would feel weird not to tell you.

[iyla]

how much did he tell you?

[niim]

Enough. Sufficiently mortified that I'm having to talk him out of hiding in our room for the rest of time.

[iyla]

[...] that's helpful information to have, thank you.

[niim]

Yeah, of course.

[iyla]

i don't think someone needs to be overly sensitive to have their feelings hurt. [...] are you feeling weird about it?

[niim]

Not too weird. Just sorry you were hurt (and that my friend is even more clumsy than I am!).

[iyla]

it's fine. you're not the one that hurt me. [...] you were very good for improving my mood, in fact.

[niim]

So I got a passing grade?

[iyla]

you did. you listen very well, nim.

[niim]

I try to be attentive when it matters.

[iyla]

it's a shame you've just collected every possible bug on board.

[niim]

Quarantine has never been so important.

Or annoying.

[iyla]

there is something to be said for anticipation, however.

[niim]

Yeah? What.
