... well, maybe.

We'll see.

[applechemist]

Are you usually more shy, back home?

[ it's the only explanation she can think of. ]

[vigilantics]

I wouldn't say that I'm shy, but...

Life is complicated.

[applechemist]

... Is it? How so?

[vigilantics]

You know how things happen and they just kind of completely change everything about your life super suddenly?

[applechemist]

I think so.

So... Something happened?

[vigilantics]

Multiple somethings happened.

[ ... ]

Back home, I'm starting to make more of them though. Most of it is related to my job, but... it's still nice.

[applechemist]

Work friends can still be very wonderful friends. All of my best friends are people that I work with.

[vigilantics]

That... somehow doesn't surprise me.

[ SHE ONLY TALKS ABOUT WORK ]

[applechemist]

I'm trying to be encouraging.

[ DON'T SHAME HER. ]

[vigilantics]

... and you're doing a great job of it.

[applechemist]

It's impossible to tell when you're being sincere...

[vigilantics]

Ah... I just have one of those faces.

[applechemist]

[ Escha thinks about other people she knows... Hmmm.

That checks out. ]

Yeah, I guess...

[vigilantics]

[ she smiles. ]

I think you're just pretty straightforward.

[applechemist]

I try to be.

Otherwise people might not feel that they can rely on me.

[vigilantics]

[ hm ]

You think so? Any particular reason you think that?

[applechemist]

No, just a feeling.

[vigilantics]

Well...

[ ... ]

As long as you’re fine with that.

[applechemist]

Is there something wrong with it?

[vigilantics]

Like I said, not if it’s what you want.

But if you’re only doing it to please other people...

[applechemist]

[ she shakes her head. ]

It's nice of you to worry. But I do like the way that I am.

[vigilantics]

Awww...

[ escha is so cute.... ]

[applechemist]

[ Being awwwed... Weird... ]

Whoa, this got embarrassing.

[vigilantics]

Just accept my admiration of what you just said.
