She stifles a laugh, surprised by his questioning. Well, what else did he expect ? She can’t just film thirty minutes of her eating and call it day. Her subscribers expect QUALITY, a long video with an engaging story, well edited and interesting. That means that if a video is fourty minutes long, she probably spent three hours recording. Yeah, it’s that long. Still, she thinks she can make it interesting for the man, and hopefully it won’t be too tiring. He still hasn’t picked any foods, but Serah’s already opening her default app for ordering and searching for pizza, the only sustent she has seen Dante enjoy throughly. She finds herself relaxing for a minute, the nerves from before fading away when the familiar athmosphere settles down. Dante’s a calming presence, even if he probably would never expect it, but since the student’s eyes had been opened to the world of NIGHTMARES, she found herself feeling protected when with him. “ I have to tell the full story and eat, and probably any anecdotes that come to mind here and there. Were you expecting half an hour and then being done ? You can still back down if you want. ” she teases, secretly worried about saying those words. Clearly she fears the answer, but tells herself that it will be fine. He’s agreed already, what can a couple of hours more be ? Ugh. Stop OVERTHINKING, Serah. “ Also — Pizza ? ” she says, opening up a restaurant in the app, not looking at Dante. She tries to be so non-chalant, but she knows how much his presence in the room affects her, and he probably does too. Damn attraction, and being nervous, and every little thing that could go WRONG. And here she thought she had gotten rid of the wariness, but she’ll have to deal with it, apparently. Mingling her online persona with her real life, it’s nervewracking.
he considers it for all of half a second, because it would be very easy to just walk out, hop back into limbo and be halfway across the country in a matter of hours——— but he really has nothing else to do. ❛ i don’t know. i’ve never done this before. ❜ but who knows, maybe if she invites him again he’ll do it once more. he shrugs, already over the time issue. it’s not like it’s a big deal really, and as soon as she mentions pizza, he perks up. there’s no way he isn’t staying now.
❛ extra cheese. ❜ a hand idly taps against the table, eyes lingering on her for a second before they start to wander around. it’s not the first time he’s set foot in her dorm, but it’s the first time it’s been for longer than a handful of minutes. he has zero point of reference on what college is about, but he figured it’d involve more studying and less doing whatever the hell she did—— the youtube thing. he’s not really the type to waste hours mindlessly watching shit online. ❛ that’s a pretty fancy looking camera, ❜ he nods towards the whole setup. ❛ how long have you been doing this shit for ? ❜
