[ YEP both of his hands go up ]

-- I'm definitely not plannin' on gettin' you to that point, I can tell you that much.

[phaselocknroll]

Wow. Calm down. I'm not going to phaselock you or anything.

[nostalgiabomb]

It's seriously hard to tell with you, man.

[phaselocknroll]

You act like I'm scary or something.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He makes an incredulous face. ]

You? Scary? Why would I think that? I mean, it's not like you could set a dude on fire just by thinking about it or anything.

[phaselocknroll]

Surely such a thing wouldn't be considered scary.

[ a pause, and she offers him a smile ] Are we okay now?

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He's quiet for a quick second, then nods; the look on his face, at least, is something close to relief. ]

Yeah, I think we're okay.

Just-- you know. I am sorry. Seriously.

[phaselocknroll]

I'm sorry for my part in this as well.

I just--- I'm glad we're okay. You're a good friend. I'd hate to lose that.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ That brings him up short for a second, because--

Yeah, they're friends. He would definitely admit as much. But-- it's. It's kind of nice hearing it without any hint of guile or some sort of unspoken caveat -- at least, not any he can detect.

Weird, too, which is why he's pausing.

But at length he smiles a little -- small, genuine, hesitant -- and nods again. ]

Yeah. Same here.
