AT: aND WILL ASK IF YOU NEED SOME, uH, aDDITIONAL HELPFUL CHEESE,

AT: fOR SMALL SCALE TESTS, i MEAN,
GT: Its more along the lines of the physical form of the object. Take these bananas and fruit experiments for example.
GT: Some are getting sliced and diced while others get their skins removed or otherwise find themselves inside out???
GT: Its fairly hairy business so far.
GT: Not something i would recommend sending a person through just yet.
AT: yES, nO, tHAT IS GENERALLY A THING, tHAT PEOPLE WOULD NOT WANT TO BE EXPERIENCING, wITH THEMSELVES, uH, oR THEIR INSIDES,
AT: bUT THERE ARE WAYS TO BE, iSOLATING CERTAIN, uHM, i GUESS YOU COULD CALL IT "CODE" OF THINGS, tO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T TAKE THAT OTHER SPECIFIC FORM, tHAT YOU ARE NOT WANTING,
AT: bUT THAT WOULD MEAN HAVING TO CONDITION ALL THE THINGS, tHAT YOU ARE WANTING TO SEND, iN THIS WAY,
AT: bEFORE DOING IT,
GT: And the code is exactly what im waving my wrench at!
GT: I may have to send it off for some editing but... damn if that doesnt bite in the pride a little bit.

AT: i DON'T THINK THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG IN ASKING FOR HELP, bUT, uHM, i CAN ALSO BE UNDERSTANDING IN HOW IT CAN BE FEELING FRUSTRATING, hAVING TO DO SO SOMETIMES,
AT: aLSO SHOULD i BE ASKING, aBOUT WHAT FIASCO DID HAPPEN,
AT: oR IS IT MORE, iNSIDE OUT THINGS, bECAUSE THEN i WOULD RATHER NOT,
GT: No of course not.
GT: Some asshat told me where to stick it! In front of my grandma no less!!!
GT: And in the middle of my experimentation runs.
AT: oH, i UH, aM GUESSING THAT IT IS NOT VERY POLITE, tO BE TELLING SOMEONE ABOUT WHERE TO BE STICKING THINGS INTO THEIR ORIFICES, iN FRONT OF THEIR HUMAN GRANDMA,

AT: i DON'T THINK THAT, yOU ARE A DOORMAT IN ANY CAPACITY, bUT,
AT: iT IS SOMETHING THAT i ALSO THINK, tHAT BEING ABLE TO NOT PUNCH SOMEONE, eVEN THOUGH YOU WANT TO, iS A ADMIREABLE THING TO DO,
GT: But what am i to do actually? The arguements escalate terribly and i always end walking away with a deep burning shame to my name.
GT: And various scrapes and bruises not to mention!

AT: uHH, i AM SORRY IF MY QUESTION IS, vERY INVASIVE,
AT: bUT IS IT, a THING THAT YOU ARE UH,
AT: i MEAN,
AT: a PITCH THING,
AT: tHAT IS HAPPENING,
GT: Bwah?? You mean a metaphorical ball pitch catch and throw?

AT: aND MAKING THE SITUATION CALM DOWN, sINCE, uH, iDEALLY IT'S A PERSON THAT, bOTH PARTIES KNOW, aND ARE RELAXED AROUND,
AT: sO THE AUSPISTICE STOPS THE FIGHTING, aND MAKES THINGS CIVIL,
GT: Oh! Theres a word for all that?
GT: Well ill be damned i never knew!
GT: But who the devil would agree to put up with this nonsensical bullshit?
AT: pROBABLY SOMEONE THAT YOU BOTH KNOW, aND DOESN'T WANT TO SEE YOU HURTING EACH OTHER, uHM, iS MY GUESS,
AT: oR A NEUTRAL PARTY MAYBE, tHAT ALSO DOESN'T WANT TO BE SEEING THAT HAPPENING? sOMETIMES IT HAPPENS A BIT, sPONTANIOUSLY,
GT: UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
GT: Now thats a good headscratcher of a question.

AT: oR YOU COULD BE TALKING TOGETHER, aBOUT POTENTIAL PEOPLE WANTING TO DO IT, mAYBE,

AT: *Off he goes! Onwards to adventure! He's carrying a backpack filled with various adventure gear, vials and whatnot. Not taking long with packing at all since a scientist is always prepared! He comes outside the ship and looks around for Feferi.*
CC: *She is sitting out in the surf, messing with her communicator but overall, looking like she's having a relaxing time. Her hair is still crazy and damp from all that deep sea swimming. Is also munching on some jerky. After all that swimming, it's good to keep up the protein!*
AT: *Spots a Fef down in the surf! There is dat gurl. O shit waddup. Tavros perks considerably and makes his way towards her. Look at her with that wild hair. So precious.* yOU LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN HAVING A GOOD TIME, *Grins down at her.*
CC: *perks up immediately upon hearing Tavros's voice. He was such a good. She grins back at him and scrambles up to her feet, pulling him into a big strong hug.* I am )(aving a good time! It's been a R-E-ELY good day and it's only about to get B-ETTA! *SNUGGLES HIM FIERCELY*
AT: *There's a bit of clanging and clatter from the backpack when he's pulled into the hug, but it's packed well so nothing will break. He grins happily, ears perked high from these wonderful strong fishy hugs. He wraps his own barrel arms around her, hugging her back and giving her a smooch to her forehead.* i'M REALLY HAPPY TO BE HEARING THAT, i AM HOPING THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE REALLY GOOD, uH,
AT: oR BETTA EVEN, fOR MANY MORE DAYS,
AT: bECAUSE THOSE DAYS, aRE DEFINITELY THE BEST, tO BE HAVING,
CC: *She purrs, delighted by the forehead smooch and Tavros's warm affection. Just regards him with big shiny eyes of adoration.* T)(ere, see? It's betta already! *smooches him back, right on the cheek* Is t)(at all your adventuring stuff??
AT: *Oh jeez!!! Her big shiny eyes are so cute. His own eyes turning into happy cresent moons from watching her.* oH, yES i AM DEFINITELY SEEING IT, aND FEELING IT ALSO, *Peers back over his shoulder at his big adventuring cheeseburger backpack.* yES, iT DEFINITELY IS, aLL CAREFULLY PACKED AWAY IN THE BEST KIND OF SECURITY, tHAT CHEESEBURGERS ARE ABLE TO GIVE,
AT: wHICH IS SURPRISINGLY A LOT,
CC: T)(en we're ready to GO!!!!! *says with a lot of excitement, kicking up sand as she bounces.* Did you want to )(ead towards t)(e emptier part of t)(e beac)(? I don't t)(ink I've been t)(ere yet. 38o
AT: *She's so excited! It's impossible not to get like that too, his grin widening at her.* eHEH, yES, wE ARE THE MOST READY, fOR ALL THINGS THAT MIGHT HAPPEN AT US, *Looks off in the direction she meant, probably, then looks to her and nods.* yES THAT, sOUNDS VERY GOOD TO ME, bECAUSE THEN IT WILL TRULY BE THE MOST UH, aDVENTURY, wITH THE MOST UNEXPECTEDNESS HAPPENING, fOR THE BOTH OF US,
CC: W)(ale okay t)(en! *beams brightly and takes his hand as they walk down the beach. Obviously, the best adventures are had when hand holding can be an option.* W)(at )(ave you been up to lately? Anyt)(ing -----ESP-ECIALLY -EXCITING?
AT: *Hand holding is definitely the most surefire sign of a good adventure. He holds hers with a tight but gentle grip as they walk, his adventure sandals sinking a litte into the sand as they walk from his girth.* wELL, wORK MOSTLY, bUT AT LEAST THAT IS EXCITING, bECAUSE i AM WORKING ON HELPING OUT THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT, wITH VARIOUS PLANTS AND SUCH, sO THAT WE HAVE A LOT IN STOCK, sHOULD SOMETHING
AT: GO WRONG, *Hums.* oTHERWISE, i MEAN, *Chuckles.* tHE MOST EXCITING THING YOU KNOW ABOUT, aLREADY, wITH THE TEMPLE, wHICH EVEN THOUGH IT WAS VERY EXCITING, i FEEL MAYBE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BIT, *Trails off and shrugs, sheepish.* wELL, iT WAS EXCITING,
CC: T)(e temple was fun! And t)(e imps were SO CUT-E!!! *wiggles her fins as she recalls the cute, scaly little critters.* I never knew you could go as far as COMMUN-E wit)( t)(em t)(oug)(.
AT: *Smiles at the fin wiggles, subconciously moving his floppy ears a little without noticing it himself. He's picking up on your mannerisms Feffles.* hONESTLY i WASN'T VERY SURE, tHAT IT WAS A THING, aCTUALLY THAT i COULD DO,

CC: *giggles and swings their arms a little* For science???
AT: *Chuckles and smiles down at her.* fOR SCIENCE, *Looks back up to scan over the horizon.* bUT ALSO FOR, nOT HAVING GUNS BE SHOOTING EVERYWHERE, bECAUSE i DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD HAVE GONE VERY WELL, fOR THE SITUATION, iF THERE HAD BEEN A LOT OF THAT HAPPENING,
CC: It's true! Violence isn't t)(e answer to -EV-ERYT)(ING. I'm so proud of you trying to figure out ways around it!
CC: If people were more like you, t)(e universe would be so muc)( nicer I swear to cod.
AT: =He rubs his neck with his free hand, looking down bashfully.= i UH, dON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT, i MEAN, iF EVERYONE WAS LIKE ME, tHEN i AM SURE THAT THERE WOULD BE MANY BATTLES HAPPENING,
AT: oVER FIDUSPAWN CARDS, fOR EXAMPLE, =Chuckles. He makes the jokes.=
FEFERI: -snorts at this dork, Tavros plz.- But even t)(en, t)(ere would be a way to S-ETTL-E it, I'm s)(ore. Over a conference table maybe!Â
FEFERI: -suddenly looks really thoughtful as she walks along.- If t)(e world ran on Fiduspawn cards, do you t)(ink t)(at would destroy t)(e economy eventually? Or would you just model world affairs like t)(ey do in t)(e game? 380
TAVROS: tHE TABLE ONE OF THAT, hAS MANY CARDS ON IT, sINCE THE BATTLES OF THE CARDS IS HAPPENING, uH, bUT ALSO OVER THE CARDS,Â
TAVROS: tHE GAME IS BOTH CURRENCY AND THE WAY, oF WAR, wHICH IS, uHH, i AM REALIZING NOW NOT SOMETHING THAT WOULD WORK A LOT, i THINK,Â
 TAVROS: =Whoops. He'd gone off on a little tangent there. He looks over to Feferi, apologetic, but she looked lost in her own thoughts too.= oH, wELL, hM,Â
TAVROS: sINCE EVERYONE WOULD BE ME, oR LIKE ME ANYWAY, thEN i THINK THAT, mAYBE TRADING WOULD BE A GOOD SOLUTION, fOR THE TEMPORARY LACK OF ECONOMY THINGS,Â
 TAVROS: sINCE THE GAME IS, i GUESS, kIND OF UNFAIR, sINCE THE PEOPLE WITH THE BETTER CARDS WOULD ALWAYS WIN, uSUALLY, sO THEY WOULD HAVE THE MOST THINGS,Â
 TAVROS: =Brief pause.= bUT, uGH, i GUESS THAT WOULD BE THE SAME THING, wITH THE TRADING, bECAUSE PEOPLE WITH MORE THINGS WOULD HAVE, mORE THINGS TO BE TRADING,
FEFERI: But if -EV-ERYON-E was like you, t)(e value of trading would drop exponentially until -EV-ENTUALLY, you'd be faced wit)( a market cras)(!Â
FEFERI: T)(e w)(ole world would fall apart!
TAVROS: =Looks toughtfully into the air. This was a really hard question.=
 TAVROS: i DON'T THINK JUST, bECAUSE OF THE ECONOMY THAT IT WOULD FALL APART, sINCE THERE ARE WAYS TO LIVE OFF THE LAND, sO PEOPLE WOULD STILL BE ALIVE,Â
TAVROS: uHHH, aND ALSO WITH THEM ALL BEING ME, tHEN EVERYONE WOULD KNOW HOW TO MAKE THINGS, iF THERE WOULD SUDDENLY BE NO MORE THINGS OF A THING, lIKE WHEAT,Â
 TAVROS: =Rubs at his neck with his free hand, laughing.= bUT i THINK, tHAT IT'S BEST THAT EVERYONE ISN'T LIKE ME, bECAUSE THAT WOULD BE PRETTY BORING,Â
TAVROS: aND KIND OF AWFUL?
 TAVROS: =Smiles at her and squeezes her hand.= bECAUSE THERE WOULD BE NO YOU, fOR EXAMPLE,
FEFERI: PL--------------EAS-E. If t)(ere WAS a me, t)(en I'd just be like you! -laughs and skips ahead. FLIPS her hair while she's at it.- W)(ic)( by t)(e way, would make you t)(e )(ANDSOM-EST Tavros for )(aving suc)( great )(air.
TAVROS: =Snorts and snickers more, walking a bit faster to keep up.= bUT IF IT WAS LIKE THAT, wITH YOU BEING ME, tHEN YOU WOULD STILL BE ME, (uH,) =Trying to keep track.= sO YOU MIGHT BE PREFERING TO HAVE THE HAIR THAT i HAVE, aND NOT THE STYLE THAT IS YOURS, sINCE YOU WOULD BE ME,
FEFERI: Come on, Tavros. Don't you t)(ink you would make t)(e PR-ETTI-EST )(eiress? -holds cheeks at, sparkling-
TAVROS: i DON'T SEE HOW THAT i WOULD BE, mAKING ANY MOST "EST" OF ALL,Â
 TAVROS: wHEN IF, eVERYONE WAS ME, tHEN EVERYONE WOULD BE LOOKING THE SAME,Â
TAVROS: mAYBE, tHE SAMEST HEIRESS, =Snicker.=
FEFERI: T)(e samest )(eiress!!! -finally just dissolves into giggles.- O)( my COD, t)(is is so silly.
FEFERI: You're a silly troll, Tavros! T)(e SILLI-EST.
TAVROS: =He's trying not to snicker, but failing pretty spectacularly at it. He holds up a finger.= bUT NO, bECAUSE, tHAT CANNOT BE ME,Â
TAVROS: eHEHE, bECAUSE, tHE PERSON THAT SUGGESTED THIS SCENARIO, oF PEOPLE BEING LIKE ME,Â
TAVROS: wAS YOU, };) =You're the silliest Feferi. Canon confirmed.=
FEFERI: -Arrrgh! The winky face is really not fair. Though Tavros might have a hard time trying to contain the snickers, Feferi doesn't even bother. The giggles are happening everywhere.- W)(at!!!!!!!!! W)(en t)(e glub did you INF-ECT me wit)( T)(e Silly???
 FEFERI: W)(y, Tavros!! W)(y!Â
FEFERI: I was so S)(OR-E I was immune!!!
TAVROS: =Her giggles are infectious, so he can't keep them back.= eHEEHE, mAYBE YOU WERE, bUT, iT WAS NO MATCH FOR THE SILLY,Â
 TAVROS: bECAUSE IT IS TOO POWERFUL, mUTATING AND DEVELOPING FURTHER TO DEFEAT YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM,Â
 TAVROS: aLL OF YOUR SYSTEMS ARE NOW,Â
TAVROS: bELONG TO US,Â
 TAVROS: uHH,Â
TAVROS: tHE SILLY THAT IS,
FEFERI: -honestly cracking up now- You're not making ANY S-ENS-E!!! Do you call yourself a scientist??
TAVROS: tHE SENSE THAT i AM MAKING, iS A LOT, aND ALSO SOUND IN THE LOGIC DEPARTMENT, =So many snickers and snorts.=Â
 TAVROS: yOU ARE DEFINITELY INFECTED ENTIRELY, wITH THE SILLY,
 TAVROS: iF WE WERE TO DISSECT YOU, tHEN, tHAT'S ALL THAT WOULD BE INSIDE,Â
 TAVROS: aLL THAT SILLY,
 TAVROS: ,,,Â
TAVROS: bUT, uHHHH, dON'T, aCTUALLY DO THAT, oR i MEAN, hAVE ANYONE DO THAT TO YOU,Â
 TAVROS: bECAUSE YOUR INSIDES, tHOUGH UHM, sILLY, sHOULD BE ON THE INSIDE,
FEFERI: -such shark grins, entertained by the imagery for inexplicable reasons. Let's not look at this too closely, honestly.- W)(ale, if you're POSITIV-E...Â
FEFERI: T)(en I c)(oose to trust your profis)(ional medical opinion. 38)
TAVROS: =Surely the grins is because his jokes are very good! He grins back at her and gives a thumbs up.= yES, i AM ABSOLUTELY THAT,Â
TAVROS: tHE POSITIVE THING, aBOUT THIS SITUATION AT HAND,
FEFERI: -Gah!!! She can't resist anymore and bounds forward, gathering Tavros's face up in the sweetest of pale smooches. Backdropped by the beach, this had to be the cover of a goddamn romance novel. So therefore, it's perfect!-Â
FEFERI: -regards him adoringly, hands cupped on either side of his face.- ...I'm really glad you're )(ere.
TAVROS: =Dang!!! It really is perfect, and thus he blushes brown something fierce. He kisses her back gently, smiling down at her when the kiss ends, sheepish and loving.= i, uH, =Chuckles, embarrassed. He reaches his hands up to cup over hers, stroking a thumb over her knuckles.= i'M REALLY HAPPY TOO,Â
 TAVROS: aND GLAD, tHAT YOU'RE HERE,
TAVROS: aND ALRIGHT AND, sTILL SMILING,Â
TAVROS: dESPITE EVERYTHING,
FEFERI: I know. -at that, her smile turns a little sad. It could be how close he was and her own gratitude that he was there at all. Strokes thumbs over his cheeks, soft and fond.-
FEFERI: I... s)(ould probably tell you about some t)(ings. If you don't mind.
TAVROS: =Tilts his head with creases of his brow at the saddened smile, hands moving to work their fingers together to hold.=Â
 TAVROS: =His grin turns crooked, but it still holds the same feelings as before, albeit with a more concerned note.= oF COURSE NOT,Â
TAVROS: tHAT i DON'T MIND i MEAN,Â
TAVROS: =Looks around briefly. They are kind of just in the middle of nowhere on the beach, near the end of this one which has the beginnings of a forest at the end. Nowhere seemed to be an ideal place to sit down though, curses.=
FEFERI: -it's okay. Feferi's just content to keep holding his hand and walk along the strip of beach.- Well... it's kind of sad. Mostly because I am sad about it...Â
FEFERI: But I know I'm going to be okay, regardless!Â
FEFERI: It's just...Â
FEFERI: Aradia broke up wit)( me and Jo)(n.
TAVROS: =Walking is good too, and he will walk with her all while having a secure hold on her hand. He keeps an eye on her, then two big surprised ones at the news.=
 TAVROS: wHAT,Â
TAVROS: oH, }:(Â
TAVROS: fEFERI, i AM, rEALLY SORRY TO HEAR THAT, i MEAN, yOU ARE SAYING IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY, aND UHM, i AM SURE THAT IT WILL BE,
 TAVROS: bUT IT STILL HURTS, wHEN SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENS, =Squeezes her hand gently.=
FEFERI: -she nods and as sad as she is about it, she wasn't retreating into herself for feeling that way. It was just one of the many wonderful things there was about having Tavros here.-Â
FEFERI: I still feel )(urt over a lot of t)(ings, it's true. And some of t)(ese t)(ings... I didn't even realize was getting in t)(e way of our relations)(ip as it was.

FEFERI: T)(at because of t)(at, t)(ere was somet)(ing missing.
 FEFERI: I guess in t)(e end... I finally saw w)(at s)(e was talking about.
TAVROS: =He watches her while she speaks, glad that she is getting it off her chest instead of keeping it locked up and eating her from the inside. He squeezes her hand comfortingly when she says she's still feeling hurt.=
 TAVROS: wHAT WAS SHE TALKING ABOUT THEN, dO YOU THINK,
 TAVROS: bECAUSE, i THINK THAT, tO MANY PEOPLE BEING HAPPY DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT IS A BAD THING, aT LEAST NOT THAT BEING YOUR THOUGHTS, wHEN HEARING SOMEONE SAY THAT,
FEFERI: It was... me, I t)(ink. But )(er too.Â
FEFERI: Bot)( of us being responsible over t)(ings we did... and were doing.Â
FEFERI: I felt like... I couldn't argue wit)( )(er to tell )(er w)(en I was feeling upset wit)( )(er because... I felt like any little t)(ing wrong I did would be enoug)( of an excuse for )(er to leave. -her fins fall as she finally gives voice to it.-Â
FEFERI: It didn't stop )(er before.
TAVROS: =Listens carefully, a crease to his brow as he hears what she's saying.= mH,Â
 TAVROS: i AM, rEALLY SORRY TO HEAR THAT, bECAUSE, iT'S REALLY NOT HOW IT SHOULD BE, tHAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T BE TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT IS BAD, uHM, eVEN IF IT IS NOT FUN TO TALK ABOUT, tHAT IS A VERY IMPORTANT THING TO HAVE COMMUNICATION, aND NOT FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T SPEAK YOUR MIND,Â
 TAVROS: sTILL, iT IS SAD THAT IT BECAME THAT WAY, bUT UHM,Â
TAVROS: iT WAS NOT, i MEAN, iT WAS A PEACEFUL WAY IN HOW IT WAS DONE, i AM HOPING, bECAUSE THEN WHEN IT STOPS HURTING SO MUCH, tHEN YOU CAN BE FRIENDS STILL, oR AT LEAST NOT BE FEELING THE HURT WHEN BEING AROUND EACH OTHER,
FEFERI: Yea)(, I know...Â
FEFERI: I reely don't blame )(er for anyt)(ing! I've always wanted )(er to be )(appy and I guess I just... -scrubs at her eyes, suddenly aware of the faint prickle of fuschia there-
 FEFERI: I guess I lost sig)(t of w)(en s)(e stopped making me )(appy.
TAVROS: =Turns fully to her to place a warm hand on her cheek, gently moving her hand to wipe at those little tears.= sOMETIMES A LOT OF THINGS HAPPEN,Â
TAVROS: aND IT'S DIFFICULT TO KEEP TRACK OF IT ALL, uHM, eVEN IF IT IS YOUR OWN FEELINGS, oR A SITUATION, oR ANYTHING ELSE,
 TAVROS: iT'S VERY DIFFICULT THEN, wHEN YOU FINALLY CATCH UP ON THE THING THAT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN SEEING,Â
TAVROS: aND REALIZE THAT IT'S TOO LATE,
FEFERI: -Convoluted as it is, Tavros always had a way of making sense out of the swirl of thoughts and emotion in Feferi's head. The hand brushes her cheek and she nods, letting herself feel the pain. The loss. How much she actually missed Aradia.- ...I loved )(er.
TAVROS: =He gently strokes her cheek now, be there tears or no. He had loved her too, at a time, albeit in a different way. He loved her still too, as a friend, but hearing many of the same thoughts and feelings spoken back at him was a bit surreal.= i KNOW,Â
 TAVROS: aND i AM SURE THAT SHE KNEW TOO, aND THAT SHE LOVED YOU,
 TAVROS: bUT PEOPLE GROW APART, oR, sOMETHING HAPPENS, uHM, i GUESS LIFE DOES,Â
TAVROS: Â iT ALL CHANGES, aND THOUGH IT FEELS REALLY BAD AND SAD NOW, iT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN FOR THE WORST IN THE END, aND i THINK,Â
TAVROS: eVEN IF IT, sOMEHOW, wINDS UP AS THAT, tHEN, aT LEAST IT WILL MAKE YOU STRONGER, fROM HAVING ALL THESE DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES, eVEN IF THEY ARE SAD,Â
TAVROS: bECAUSE BEING SAD, tHAT JUST MEANS THAT, yOU HAVE ALSO BEEN VERY HAPPY,Â
TAVROS: aND i DON'T THINK,Â
 TAVROS: tHAT'S BAD,
FEFERI: -can't help but smile then, bringing her own hands up to squeeze at the palm caressing her cheeks.- Well, I know t)(at muc)( is true.Â
FEFERI: Ot)(erwise...
 FEFERI: I wouldn't )(ave you.
TAVROS: =He smiles back at her, careful and reassuring. Then he lets out a small bashful laugh.= hEH,Â
TAVROS. i AM, gLAD THAT YOU THINK SO,Â
 TAVROS: bECAUSE YOU MATTER A LOT TO ME, aS WELL, aND IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT i AM COUNTING IN MY LIFE, aS ONE OF THE HAPPY GOOD THINGS,Â
TAVROS: =Gentle forehead bunp.= sTILL, i'M SORRY ABOUT THIS SITUATION, bUT i KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PULL THROUGH,
FEFERI: -exhales in relief and bumps his forehead in return, the tiny gesture ringing such peace inside and out.- ...I know I will too.Â
FEFERI: You and Jo)(n... are so important for )(elping me sea t)(at about myself.
TAVROS: =Gives her eyebrow a little smooch.= aND WE WILL KEEP ON DOING SO,Â
 TAVROS: aH, uHM, hOW IS JOHN HANDLING EVERYTHING,
FEFERI: -happiest seadweller chirr.- Jo)(n is...Â
FEFERI: I t)(ink )(e feels )(urt but.
 FEFERI: )(e )(as a reely )(ard time expressing t)(at. -frown town the more she thinks about it.- T)(e only t)(ing I can )(onestly do is be t)(ere for )(im because...Â
FEFERI: If anyone s)(ould to talk to )(im about it, it would )(ave to be Aradia. -quirks a tired looking smile at him- It's a mess, I know.
TAVROS: =His brows furrow, smile fading as she watches her. Exhales through his nose.= yEAH, iT SOUNDS COMPLICATED, aND, i'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT HE FEELS HURT,Â
TAVROS: =Small smile.= bUT JUST BECAUSE THINGS ARE COMPLICATED, oR A MESS, dOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT,
 TAVROS: tHERE IS NEVER A REASON, tO NOT BE TRYING,
FEFERI: )(e)(e... scrod clammit. W)(en did you get so wise?
 FEFERI: Are you s)(ore you don't need to be t)(e one to talk to Jo)(n? -grinning with all the affection. All of it.- I can almost guarantee you'd fix )(is problems wit)( just like... A )(UG.
 FEFERI: )(ugs fix all kinds of problems!!!
TAVROS: =Shrugs with a sheepish smile.= i UHM, aM JUST TRYING TO KEEP POSITIVE, aBOUT THINGS IN GENERAL, wHICH i GUESS MIGHT BE WISE WHEN APPLIED, tO CERTAIN SITUATIONS MAYBE,Â
 TAVROS: bUT, i THINK THAT, eVEN IF EVERYTHING WON'T BE FIXED WITH JUST A HUG,Â
TAVROS: tHEN HUGS FROM BOTH ME AND YOU, wOULD AT LEAST MAKE IT NOT HURT AS MUCH, =He is down for John hugs.=
FEFERI: Some)(ow, I find myself agreeing wit)( you. -Of course, this all calls for Feferi to sweep up Tavros in a big hug. The warm, cuddly, and softest kind. They had to be her favorite.-
TAVROS: =Snickers softly.= (mUST BE THE INFECTION,) =His big arms wrap around her securely, pulling her gently to himself. In each other's arms it always feels safe and warm, no matter what situation it might be. He tilts his head down to bury it in her hair, tucking her against his round self. Be safe in the tiddy, Feferi.=

TG: hey -meanwhile, karl bounds up excitedly towards tavros because she LOVES him and attempts to jump on him, barking-
AT: tHIS PLACE IS AT LEAST, aBOUT ROUGHLY FOURTY PERCENT LESS SLIMY, tHAN i HAD BEEN ANTICIPATING, *Snickers, then grins wider at the excited pup.

Tavros likes that he can be himself around Dirk, that they can goof off around one another without being afraid one party will start taking jabs at one another. When jabs ARE taken they are never meant seriously either, just mutual goodhearted teasing that never seem to step over any boundaries. He likes how Dirk has a lot of the same nerdy interests as himself, even if Dirk tries so hard to appear like he doesn’t like much of anything. That’s another thing he likes too, since it’s… Just kind of funny (in a good way). Dirk is also really smart, and he always does his best to help people out. He likes how he always seem to indulge people (at least himself) whenever they talk about what they like or something that matters to them. He admires how Dirk appears to get along with so many people, and how he is so loyal to each and every one of his friends. He feels truly lucky to consider Dirk one of his close friends, and hopes that Dirk feels the same way about him.Â
Not to mention Dirk can spit some sick fires.
Send 🌺 to hear what my muse likes about yours
[If Tavros dares to go to work today, his tables have all been coated in a sheet with grass growing on top of it. He now has a beautiful garden! Oh, and because he is a sweetie he also gets a cupcake with a message attached. "With love from Jane" it says. How nice! Unless he takes a bite, and discovers the buttercream is actually mustard cream. Hoohoo!]
Tavros did indeed go to work today. It was just a day like any other, wasn’t it? Unfortunately for him that is very much not the case. He discovers all the laboratory tables covered in grass and is quite shocked to say the least! His initial thought is that someone had been careless during some sort of experiment, but… Who would use ALL of the tables for one experiment? Upon closer inspection he finds the cupcake, and with a quick double check of the date it finally sinks in. He laughs to himself over just how thoroughly Jane pranked him, then goes for a bite of the cupcake and…
