“Hey, uh, thank you — again.” She had said that already, too many times in the last ten minutes. It was a habit picked up from childhood. Too many thank you’s, too many sorry’s, even if they’re unnecessary or she’d do just the same. Still it felt important to let the other person know their company on her walk home was welcomed and appreciated. “Pretty sure my dad would lock me in my place if he caught me walking back this late alone, which is funny considering he used to let my brothers and I run around the farm even later than this back when I was still in… diapers.” Too late. It’s not exactly the topic of conversation she was aiming for, nor the image, but it was out there now. Nose wrinkling up, part in disgust and predominantly in embarrassment, Pip’s eyes shift over to the other. “Anyways, uh, thank you.”
listening on as she thanked him for the company while walking home, tommy let a smile carve out over his expression as the brunette thanked him for probably the fifth time.” given all the shit happening here lately, can’t say your dad would be wrong for the freak-out.” he hummed, blue hues glancing over at her own as another thank you fell from her lips.” you know you the first time you said it was enough yeah? not going to abandoned you if you suddenly stop letting me know you’re grateful.”
