[ She blinks at him a couple of times before it clicks (she may not know much about relationships, but she's no stranger to biology) and she, too, goes a little red. ]

Oh.

Oh. Oh my God, I'm sorry.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ he laughs, sorry, because if nothing else, sex and the topics related thereof are much more reasonable territory for him.

Examine your life, Peter. ]

It's fine. Seriously. No big deal. I just figured, you know, you probably, uh. Didn't want to deal with that.

[phaselocknroll]

Not at... this juncture, no. Sorry.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He smiles -- hopefully it's reassuring? -- and shrugs. ]

Yeah. Baby steps, right?

[phaselocknroll]

[ It is reassuring, and she smiles back ] Yeah.

... Thank you. For this.

[ He rubs the back of his neck, almost timidly. ]

Not-- exactly sure why you're thankin' me, seeing as how I, uh. Dragged it out for a while. Made things weird.

Hell, it's a wonder you didn't just phaselock me for being an asshole.

[phaselocknroll]

I promised I wouldn't phaselock you again, and I won't.

And we both made things weird. But thanks... for finally giving this a chance.

[ He nods at that, and that little goofy smile is back in full force. ]

It's-- gonna take some adjusting. And I can't promise I won't fuck up here and there, but--

Yeah. Same to you.
