[ Steph can't help a little chuckle at Steffa's answer. ]

Well. Traditionally, the way I handle this sort of thing is kissing the guy out of the blue after we've both almost died. But maybe that doesn't work for everyone...

[howcanihelp]

[ dryly ] Well, I missed a perfect opportunity after the attack, then.

I don't know, maybe I should move on to someone less... difficult to read.

[ Like Steph.

...hm.

Steph goes for direct, huh? They haven't nearly died in the last week and Steffa's too far away to kiss her, but... ]

I don't suppose you're in the market for someone to kiss after a near-death experience? [ She says it with a laugh, as if she's joking. But... well, if Steph said yes, Steffa would be okay with that. ]

[ Steph blushes a little, probably much more brightly than the question called for... but she and Tim were just in the shower, and it's impossible not to think about it without turning pink and getting butterflies in her stomach all over again. ]

Umm... kinda got that covered right now. Tim and I are back together.

[ Steffa freezes for a moment, eyes wide, slowly getting redder and redder as she processes that revelation.

Then she groans and faceplants into her pillow. ]

I am never speaking to anyone ever again.

[mysunnydisposition]

[ Steph blinks at the camera for a moment. ]

It's totally okay! I mean, I'm not... offended or anything...

[howcanihelp]

[ Steffa laughs a little, slightly hysterical, still half pressed into her pillow. Her pillow loves her. Her pillow understands. ]

It was Tim. The boy I was flirting with.

[mysunnydisposition]

[ Steph claps a hand over her mouth. She might be holding back a giggle. ]

Oh. Oh my god. I'm... so so sorry. That's... That sucks.

[ She's not laughing. Really. ]

[howcanihelp]

[ Steffa turns even redder. She knows Steph doesn't mean anything by it and that she probably does feel sympathetic, but this is just mortifying. ]

I... I think I should... I'm going to...

I'lltalktoyoulater.

[ she disconnects and will just. lay here for a few minutes before messaging her cousin.

Someone just kill her now. ]
