I never stop running.

But I can slow down for you. Where's the party?

text;

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

just for me? how sweet.

somewhere in region one. its a new place but i got the address on the invitation
also, wear something nice ok?

text;

[takeitslow]

That's me. Sweet as sugar.

All my clothes are nice. But I'll find something. I won't embarrass you in front of your friends.

text;

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

that so. does that mean ive been imagining the sourness lately??

sure, let's go with that. but i can also come and pick something for you. this time ill leave lipstick out of it

text;

[takeitslow]

None of that sourness has been about you.

You're going to put me in a suit aren't you? I look stupider in a tie than eyeshadow, just so you know.

text;

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

didnt think it was. but that doesn't mean im not going to notice it.

have some faith. i dont want to be embarrassed, remember?

text;

[takeitslow]

Noted. There's been stuff happening. But I'm working on it. I promise not to be all moody at the party.

Okay, okay. I'll trust your expertise. Make me pretty enough to show off.

text;

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

ever going to let me in that secret?

show you off? arent you making this sound official now.

[a pause and then:]

:)

text;

[takeitslow]

If you want to hear it. It's family stuff. Parent stuff.

[He's glad this is text because he knows he has to be blushing right now. And the lack of seeing her face to face gives him a little more confidence.]

You're the one who asked me to come. If you think it sounds official you're the one who made it that way first.

text

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

you know, against seemingly popular belief: im not allergic to family.

who me? definitely did not. theres nothing official with wanting to hang out.

text

[takeitslow]

More like I might be. Did I tell you I never met my dad?

[Ouch. Right. He's being stupid. Of course she didn't mean it that way.]

Hang out. Yeah. You know that's what I meant.

Re: text

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

ok we both know that bullshit. youre pretty much still stuck in your sister by some invisible umbilical cord. [because that's totally how anatomy works!]

yeah. i think you said that once.

[and god. now, it's really good thing that this isn't video because she's eyerolling so hard. how stupid can he be for fucks sake.]

is it? sounded a lot more to me.

text

[takeitslow]

We're twins! We're supposed to be like that!

[No Peter. No you're really not.]

I was wrong. I have met him. He's here and Jean knew. She kept it from me.

I'd ask better than that if it were more. So. [LIES.]

text

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

next youre going to say you have your own special language that no one else speaks.

[...Ok. Wow. That's uh, surprisingly heavy reveal. It actually comes pretty close to one of her biggest fears regarding this place and Ingress.

This time it takes a little longer for her to reply because.. really, what do you say to something like this? Family issues are very much out of her expertise.]

so who is it?

text

[takeitslow]

She can read minds. You don't need a new language when you have that.

[He takes a little longer to respond beyond the initial snark. He doesn't think that she'll be cruel; out of anyone he thinks she'd understand.

It just makes it feel more real to talk about with someone outside his sister.]

Erik.
