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?

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.

I'm terrible at on the spot improv. I suppose there had to be something I would detest.

~~Right m~~ That is ~~extremely h~~ sweet of you. I'll keep it in mind. And [...] I'd prefer to keep my history with Bastien quiet. He doesn't need additional reminders.

If it helps, it isn't as if you have to be funny. In fact, being too funny is frowned upon. It's more about blending in. Please don't let it stress you. (This is not me saying I don't think you could be funny! I just know that's often part of the pressure of it all.)

Of course. It isn't my story to tell.

Ah. So it's less improv and more [...] masking. I'm ~~unfo~~ quite good at that, actually.

Thank you.

[...] The character development part can be rather fun, though.

That does sound entertaining. I suppose it's something to look forward to until Friday.

There is a lot to look forward to there. Some of it will surely not be your thing, but soon enough it'll be on to the next and you'll be back in the game.

I'm certain there is, but to be clear: I was referring to looking forward to our date.

I did know that. I'm only saying, it's an exciting time! I always live a big vicariously through the new intern class, getting to discover it all again.

I am also looking forward to our date.

As long as that was clear.

I will say I'm looking forward to the debate.

I didn't think you would've asked if it was something you were going to dread.

Of course you are! You're an academic type. And they usually are quite good at bringing up some interesting dilemmas.

You would be correct.

I spoke briefly with Ms Fontaine, and the conversation was fascinating. I have quite a few thoughts on the moral quandry of time travel, though one of my cohort is of the opinion that the timeline is resistant to change and therefore my points are [...] not as pointed.

Resistant, I would agree, but not immune to it. I'm curious to hear about your moral quandary thoughts, though. Unless you'd rather save the philosophical discussions for tapas?

That skews uncomfortably close to shop talk, which I selfishly would like to avoid, but I would be happy to share them over tea sometime.

Understood. I can't promise "no" shop talk, but we'll keep it to a minimum.

Appreciated. I'd rather learn more about you.
