[THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY SILLY POST FOR THREADING THINGS IN CECILIA'S REALM]

It's still weird...

Well, is that not natural? You've carried this expectation for years—this understanding that you're only ever supposed to feel for one other at a time.

Challenges to world views like that are always difficult.

To be honest, I was hoping you'd tell me otherwise so I'd have an excuse to not do anything.

I'm not much in the business of making life easy for people.

[ she teases, gently. ]

It's what I get for asking advice from an old lady.

[ did you miss being on the ground, Nightingale ]

[ because that is where Bluebird immediately tries to shove you ]

[WORTH IT]

Old I may be, but I'm still as fresh as a spring flower!

A preserved one, maybe.

A fresh one, I said. Clean your eyes.

Positively fossilized.

[i'm going to be destroyed for this but it's worth it]

[ that was supposed to be ears!! ]

[ actually she doesn't respond to that ]

[...

did i fuck up]

Bluebird...?

— ah? It's nothing, it's nothing.

[ SMILES reassuringly ]

... Are you sure?

[sad trivia: i have gotten enough memories of being a terrified child back that i've actually become pretty damn perceptive of people being in a bad mood or upset.

i mean i'm still a total KY who doesn't understand feelings right, but.]

Yyyyyes …

… Well.

[ waves a hand! ]

Your comment of fossils just reminded me of somewhat unsavoury, that's all. It's really nothing to worry about.

[... oh

oh right

welp i feel like an ass now]

Sorry.

[ ... gently tweaks your nose ]

As I said, it's nothing to worry about.

[swats at, half on reflex]

Hey!

Relax, Nightingale. I'm not upset.

[ she's just trying very very hard not to think about those rumors ]

... Right.

[i'm still going to avoid old jokes now

I THOUGHT I HAD SOMETHING I COULD BE A BUTT WITH THEN IT TURNED OUT TO HAVE ACTUAL LANDMINES WHO COULD HAVE FORESEEN THIS]

So how have you two been in here...?

[ OLD JOKES ARE FINE

FOSSILS MAYBE NOT SO MUCH. ]

... [ tugs on a lock of your hair next :|a ]

-- Hey, careful!

[WHY THIS]

Have you ever tried braiding it?

Um... I don't remember? I know how to, I guess, but...
