[Hi, yeah, he saw that thread with Julie-Su, so don't mind him popping into her DMs -]
... If ya end up lonely in that house o' yours, feel free to swing by the shed anytime ya want. Okay? I'll even get somethin' softer to sleep on, if ya want.
'Course! The gate'll know it's you - you can just c'mon in.
[... "The gate" being the topiaries protecting it, he means.
And sure enough, once she's made her way over, they don't even bat an eye when she goes to walk through the gate to meet up with him! And he's in the doorway to the house itself, of course. Already holding his arms open for her and everything.
[The hug she gets is instant and warm, tucking her under his chin as always.]
I dunno what else you coulda said... it ain't like you a mindreader - Just 'cause that girl gave ya so much don't mean you'd know what she wanted from ya!
[Or, at least... he's assuming that's what's going on, considering that discussion was all the context he has.]
I kind of knew she had a crush on me, at one point, a while ago - it was a whole thing when I said I couldn’t reciprocate. But that was years ago? I kind of assumed it faded some.
I don't blame ya for thinkin' that - far as I know, most folks' woulda. Here - c'mon inside, lets getcha wrapped up in blankets. Make a burrito outta ya.
[Said as he only pulls one arm away in order to lead her, of course - the other's staying firmly on her shoulders.]
... Sounds like you two been goin' through it for a while, though. She ain't ever talked to you 'bout it since?
Then she puttin' it on you to know what's goin' on in that head o' hers.
Not blamin' her for that, neither, 'course. I noticed lotsa folks do that... I dunno why, but I guess 's just a thing people do with they friends.
[And that is just something that is extra, extra hard for him, what with all the mixed up wires he's got going on up in that brain of his. So it's something he's on high alert for.]
... But, ehh... what I'm tryin' to say with that is - Y'know, don't kick yourself for it. You didn't know.
[Wolf delivery, Amaterasu is knocking on her door (or ringing a doorbell, whichever option there is). As discussed, Amaterasu is bringing Evangeline a paper bag with the amulet she ordered.
[Which means she's being hefted up in his arms to carry her to that guest room he mentioned! It's a nice one, too.
... And she's getting plopped onto the bedding with him quickly crawling on after, of course. Yes, with his boots still on. Sorry, no one can make him change this part of himself.]
[She's gonna get SO SNUGGLED. It helps that she's teensy, really. Perfect size for snuggling!]
They seem real nice, but, eh...
... Fancy? Compared to me, at least.
[He knows Barghest was trying to argue that that's not the case, but she's a Fairy Knight. Anyone known as a "Fairy Knight" is automatically ten times fancier than Mr. "hides in junkyards to whack off over the machinery".]
Miss Fajra wants to take me on a date, though. I got no idea what to do with that, all my dates with Nenett were... y'know. Simple? Spur o' the moment, kinda.
Mm, I can see where you’d get that impression…. But, you know, I’m from the Backstreets - the worst part of town. In terms of fancy level, I’m a lot closer to you than to them, if that helps any.
[She doesn’t want Chipp to feel like he doesn’t measure up.]
Fajra likes spoiling people. Wining and dining them, that kind of thing.
