#impenetrablevitality #taciteaneremite #in which morning after

DOVE: -GUESS WHO IS STILL BUGGING COLT even after the shenanigans in the atrium? It's her. She won't go away. Whatever he is doing, she is going with him.- COLT: -well, he was planning on returning to his room... and if it were most other people, he'd probably tell them to buzz off (as politely but still passive aggressively as possible) but since this is dove, she's joining him as he enters the horse cave.- DOVE: -she's gonna sprawl out right on the floor as usual, but she's pulling out her DS. She's not gonna bug him THAT much. She just kind of, you know, wants to be here.- DOVE: so i couldn help but get the real loud impresh things r goin well with u and ur cutie w a booty COLT: -he blush while shuffling over to something large covered with a tarp in the corner of his room. he starts tugging it off to slowly reveal... HIS DRUMSET. this is an instrument he plays, for sure, but of course it's a skill he rarely shares.- COLT: Yeah... Heh. They are. DOVE: -AW YIS. It's about to get... Bangin. She grins.- hehehe gooood im so glad 4 u clip clop lookit u DOVE: bein so pro at the dates DOVE: prob doin all kinds of smooches DOVE: like upside down spider man or watever COLT: -HHHHH. he's very red in the ears now, quickly sitting behind the set so he can distract himself by tappity tap tapping on the drums, lightly for now.- COLT: I dunno if I'd call myself "pro" at it or nothin'. I think we're just... coincidentally more compatible then I woulda expected. -shrugs- COLT: ... It's fun, though. So it's easy. Hangin' out with her and stuff. -staring at the drums bashfully- DOVE: its cool when that happens yea DOVE: is it easy p much alla the time? COLT: I guess so. COLT: Sometimes I ain't too sure what I'm uh... supposed to be doin'? But I don't think either of us worries too much about how things are supposed to go. DOVE: yea i feel that DOVE: -boops at DS- she seems real chill bout that stuff COLT: -nods- She is. Even if she acts too big for her britches about everythin'. -snorts- COLT: I reckon that kinda confidence makes it easier to be unconcerned with stuff like that. -tap tap- Maybe it's just rubbin' off on me or somethin'. DOVE: -she smile- well shes rite there so im glad ur soking it up thru osmosis DOVE: kissmosis COLT: -smiles a little over at her- Um... How's it goin' with Ananya? -he always feels so awkward changing subjects... but he was getting much too embarrassed. though it isn't too bad, because talking about little always feels nice.- DOVE: its p good DOVE: just kinda new ykno COLT: -nods- Yeah. I getcha. DOVE: dating is all kinda like a lot of things DOVE: happening DOVE: at u DOVE: lol COLT: ... That's true. COLT: It can be pretty overwhelmin'... -presumably? he knows it SHOULD be for him, but it hasn't really. he's glancing at his cousin with a little bit of concern.- DOVE: ye DOVE: -more booping...- COLT: -more tappin'...- COLT: Is... everythin' alright? DOVE: huh??? ye! COLT: Oh ok. COLT: Just... talkin' about bein' overwhelmed is a lil bit troublin'. COLT: Not cuz it's unusual to feel that way about it or nothin'. But if you wanted to talk about it... DOVE: hmmmm DOVE: i dunno DOVE: guess im just not used 2 like DOVE: havin some1 want me around all the time?? DOVE: it wasnt like this befor COLT: Oh. Yeah. COLT: I bet Ananya wants lots of attention. -pauses. he didn't mean to sound quite so rude... but it's still true.- DOVE: ........ ye DOVE: -shrugs a little and just kinda stares at her game- COLT: ... Do you not like it? DOVE: -frown now- DOVE: i mean DOVE: i like her COLT: -drumming to an actual beat now- Yeah. I know... COLT: Guess it might take time to get used to? If that's what you want to do. DOVE: -hhhhhgh. it's hard to think about, and for some reason the drumming is making it harder to get those thoughts straight. but she doesn't want to stop him, or to leave. it's just easier to chill out with Colt, doing their own thing together. it's dumb that that's somehow hard right now too, and it makes her feel more frustrated about the whole thing.- DOVE: i mean i guess COLT: -he pauses after a moment, watching her with concern again. why do his family members gotta be so emotionall detached sometimes? it's clear dove isn't enjoying dating ananya as much as she thought she would, but he doesn't want to discourage her or anything... if she could just tell him more, then he could feel like he could be more earnest, but alas.- COLT: Um... Are you alright? DOVE: yeah -except now she's frowning- COLT: ... COLT: Are you... sure about that? DOVE: -LOUDER FROWNING- nnngghgnghghgnnn -ROLLS OVER- COLT: ... -shimmies out from behind his drums to go sit with her- DOVE: -squirms to drape herself over his lap- DOVE: i dunno man DOVE: i just feel weird n dumb COLT: ... You're not dumb. -pets her hair- DOVE: so whys it gotta be hard to date somebody i wanted to date for like my whole life COLT: Well... Maybe that's the problem. COLT: Maybe you spent so much time buildin' up the idea of it in your head that when it became a reality it weren't uh... what you were expectin'? DOVE: -groans. but that's stupid... and she feels even more stupid because of it, the fact that he's probably right. it's frustrating and makes her feel guilty. why the heck should it be easier to not date someone even after all this time?? she thought she knew what was up, she thought she knew this whole fucking time. and now it was like... everything she understood was being kicked apart.- DOVE: i dont DOVE: want it to be like that tho COLT: ... I know. It's real... lame. If that's the case. COLT: But I reckon you oughta rethink what you want? And how you feel? Just to be sure. DOVE: -just lays there frowning- DOVE: yeah DOVE: i guess COLT: -pets her hair some more- I'm sorry. DOVE: -rolls a little to squish her face in his side- DOVE: -muffled- thankff COLT: -smiles a little- Don't mention it. COLT: -what a dork... he hopes she'll be okay. it's difficult watching everyone go through so much lately. he's just glad he's in a good enough place to feel like he can actually be helpful.- DOVE: im gona take a nap on ur floor ok COLT: ... You don't gotta nap on the floor. DOVE: -eyeballs him suspiciously- DOVE: -squinto- COLT: Nap on my bed. Like a sensible person. DOVE: ok but DOVE: how do i know wat been hapenin on that bed lately COLT: ... -he has nothing to say about that- COLT: -but his face is very red- DOVE: omg!!! COLT: No... DOVE: yes!!! COLT: Stop. DOVE: duuuude! DOVE: ohhh DOVE: my GOODNESSES DOVE: -buries face in her hands- ima cry COLT: -stares up at the ceiling- Argh. DOVE: im DOVE: im not sayin nothin DOVE: nope DOVE: no werds 2 be said DOVE: just gonna DOVE: nap on this floor COLT: ... Fine. -gets up to grab her an EXTRA BLANKET and PILLOW he keeps under his bed and then tosses them her way- But get cozy. DOVE: -doof- kay DOVE: thanks bubba COLT: Uh huh. -plops himself down onto his TAINTED LINENS and leans back to mess with his lyrics some more- DOVE: -and she's going to curl up and think about her life, but not for long. it's easier not to think too hard knowing someone else is just... there, and his presence has always been comforting. just a sweet, quiet anchor in the midst of all the loud and crazy bullshit that was the rest of their family. it's a nice enough thought to sleep on.-

DOVE: -bap baps at colts door with her hands. She slap this door good.- hey bubba can i lay on ur floor 4 a min -she's making the rounds- COLT: -cracks the door a bit and peers through it suspiciously, but then opens it the rest of the way for the cousin- Alrighty. -steps aside- DOVE: -slides in and flops right down on the floor- COLT: -there she go. luckily the floor is nice and clean.- COLT: What can I do ya for? -seats his own rear back on his bed, which is less clean- DOVE: -just lay there shades on face- hhhrrrrg DOVE: and also COLT: -same- DOVE: HHHHRRRRRR COLT: ...

COLT: I don't know why he won't... -shakes his head- Why he thinks he can't talk to me about it. COLT: I know he's stubborn as a mule but when it really matters... -wilts- COLT: He's always been there for me. COLT: Maybe it's been about me too much and that's why... -he's confused and sad and rambling help him- DOVE: hey no DOVE: yknow what last night i was feelin the same gd way DOVE: like maybe it was my fault and i hecked up and he just didn't trust me w stuff like that or i was bein too selfish DOVE: but its startin 2 look more like hes bein selfish DOVE: in the not good way that hes allowed to be rite now for feelin sad but in the shutting ppl out n making things worse way DOVE: we care bout him n hes not wantin to see it and that ain't fair DOVE: n i s2g if he tries usin that as an excuse 2 be sad n beat himself up some more i will not be able to control my wrestling moves DOVE: not allowed DOVE: this aint no B plot anime DOVE: where the protag gotta cut himself outta everyone's lives cuz he got some beef w himself only 2 discover he was bein a bigger dick all along DOVE: -lookin at u Zidane- COLT: -ff9 continues to be relevant, as always- COLT: ...
