Now that prom is over, I think it's time we start planning something outside! The weather is [...] great for the UK! I know Charlie suggested a kickball game, so I was thinking we could do a summer picnic! Or a field day, maybe?

Thoughts?

~~XOXO GOSSIP~~ GIRL SQUAD

Okay. Thoughts of Raj's date wearing a chain 'round his ~~neck~~ waist with his name on it? On the one hand, bold! On the other hand, very bold??

And who do we think was best dressed?

I think that sounds like a great idea. How about I pick you up this time? I know all the best places around.

I promise not to wear something that inspires your friends to ensure I'm not trying to move too fast.

Oh no, did someone say something?

Nothing terrible, I assure you! And no threats were made. [...] I simply made a bigger statement than intended, and you have lovely friends who care deeply for you.

Well. In their defense, you were wearing my name, and the gossip mill here can be intense. I should've given you a heads-up.

I admit I did not quite think that through. I'd considered writing it in sharpie on my knuckles, which would have been significantly less noticeable.

That's true, but on the other hand, it's easier to take the chain off than Sharpie. It's been two days and I haven't managed to clear it off my cuticles completely.

Is it forward of me to say I liked the sharpied nails?

I think that's a degree of forward we can work with.

Good. It's been [....] some time since I've gone on an actual date, let alone a second.

But the polished nails suited you.

Well. I've been unattached for a while myself. [...] If you're asking if it's too forward because I've done or said anything that has made you uncomfortable, please tell me.

I did have a nail technician recommended to me. Maybe I'll give it some thought.

No, I can assure you it's nothing you've done or said. I'm simply [...] out of practice. I just didn't want to make you uncomfortable. That's all.

If you do, perhaps a dark red? The sort that's almost black. That would look [...] quite fetching on you.

So, despite my deeply-held instinct to stay uncomfortable myself rather than make anyone else uncomfortable, ever, I propose this: we'll tell each other if there is something uncomfortable, and the other will try not to amplify the uncomfortable, just acknowledge and accept. Frankly, this sounds more difficult to myself than it should be, but I'm willing to give it a try.

I'll get the name from Sébastien, then.

I can agree to this. I am quite adept at expressing when something makes me uncomfortable, so I do appreciate the same.

[...] Sébastien. Of course.

That's good. I can be a bit of a sufferer in silence, but I'm trying to be better about that.

Unsurprising, I know. Even if you've only met him for five minutes, he can make a notable first impression.

Well, I hardly want you to suffer, so I am in favor of you working on it. And please just know that I will not be upset with you for being uncomfortable.

I've [...] known him for quite longer than five minutes.

And I will not be upset with you, either. With that air cleared, do you have a type of food you'll be in the mood for this week?

Oh, I didn't realize.

I'm not particularly picky, but I do prefer lighter fare. Otherwise, I am happy to let you surprise me.

I wouldn't have expected you to. We [...] went to uni together and dated for a bit after that.

There's a tapas place in Louth, they'll have a nice variety for us.

[...] Oh! ~~That's~~ [...] Well, then you'd certainly understand about his nail care routine.

Tapas sound wonderful.

[...] Yes. A bit.

Perfect. I know Intern training can be demanding the first couple of weeks, and my schedule can be quite flexible, so we can go whenever works best for you.

I imagine it was a surprise to see him here, then.

It's actually been quite enjoyable? I attended quite a few lectures in the past, so it isn't overwhelming. But my evenings have been quite free. I can be free whenever you want me.

You could say that. He [...] left rather abruptly when [...] things ended. I expect seeing me was as much of a surprise to him as it was to me.

~~Whenever I want y~~ Let's plan on Friday. I'd hate to keep you out late if you've got improv lessons or combat practice in the morning.

I see. I wish I could say that was surprising, but, well. Are things [...] alright? Should I have a talk with him?

I apologize, my screen must have glitched: did you say improv lessons?

Things are [...] well. I've offered an olive branch, and it ended poorly. [...] As much as the pettiness I harbor would enjoy that, no. It's not fair to get you involved. Truthfully, I hadn't thought about him until I realised he was here.

You've got to be quick on your feet out there, you know. I know you're Innovator track, but the cross-training can get rather intensive.

Well, if you change your mind, the offer is open. I've never been considered a very intimidating person, but maybe that would change with the right motivation.
