[overworker]

[As for her being a good friend... hmm...]

I rely on you just as much, you know. I just... try not to show it too much.

[bad_crowmance]

I've thought about that, but it's not what bothers me. Besides-- I'd hate to take away something that you've obviously been enjoying. It's...

[ He lets his voice trail off for a moment as he considers his words. ]

This is going to sound cliché, but it's really more about me.

[overworker]

[It is, but— she gets it.]

Sure it would be a little weird to change now, but— it doesn’t matter what form I take here as long as I can still be of use to everyone. So don’t worry about me at all, okay?

[She couldn’t care less what she has to do.]

Still... I understand. I knew from the beginning I was asking a lot. But no matter what, I’m still going to be here and— if we have to find another way then we’ll find another way.

[She bumps her shoulder against his with a smile.]

You can’t get rid of me that easy.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow shakes his head. ]

Whether I take you up on that offer or not, I don't want you to change that part of yourself unless it's what you want. I'll support you either way, but I'm not having you change yourself just for my sake.

[ But he bumps her shoulder back. ]

I know. And you're not getting rid of me, either.

[overworker]

I gave it a lot of thought before I said anything. It’s not an insignificant change after all. But I wouldn’t have any regrets. Not one.

[It’s not like she has a reason to do so besides the fact that it would be safer for Crow. But that doesn’t mean it’s not what she wants if it would help.]

Besides. It’s not just for you. It’s... for my own sake too. I’ve lost enough people that I care about. I don’t want to lose you again too.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow wonders for a moment if he should point out she's going to lose him again some day anyway, when they have to go back home and she'll continue to be alive while he'll be...

...he doesn't bring it up. ]

Well, if it's something you want then I can only encourage it. Grab it with no regrets.

[overworker]

[Don't worry-- she knows. But it's a little different. If something happened here, there'd be no end of guilt--

Okay, maybe it's not any different at all.]

Heehee. One thing at a time. If I rushed into something like that now, it could totally ruin my swimsuit-- oooooor maybe you're right. Maybe I should just go for it...

[She's absolutely teasing.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ It's not any different at all, Towa. ]

No way! I refuse to let one more person get out of this!

[overworker]

Awwww come on!!

[Pouting won’t do her any good but she’ll do it anyway.]

Oh well. There’s no point in worrying about any of that for a few more weeks anyway. So I guess I’m just going to have to deal with it.

[...]

But if I have a birthday party, you’d better wear something just as good. [Her eyes light up—] I know! A wedding dress.

[It’s War.]

[bad_crowmance]

A wedding--?!

[ You've GOT TO BE KIDDING HIM?! ]

[bad_crowmance]

Alright, but I get to choose the dress.

[ Surely you can trust him with that. ]

[overworker]

[She absolutely can not.]

I will let you pick on one condition.

[Because god only knows what kind of dress he’d find on his own.]

You let me pick one person to go with you to help.

[bad_crowmance]

[ He wonders to himself if that person can be bribed. ]

Alright, you've got yourself a deal.

[overworker]

—Seriously?

[She didn’t actually expect him to actually agree to it.]

Well, I guess that does make me feel a little better.

[If she hadn’t already committed to a bikini, she would have had to at this point anyway, since he’s playing along so nicely.]

[bad_crowmance]

Honestly though, you should know you can trust me. My taste is impeccable.

[ When he can be wrangled away from the skimpiest outfits possible. ]

[overworker]

I got your gift, you know.

[Thanks for making her acknowledge it.]

If I was looking for a wedding dress you could have sex in then I’d trust you.

[bad_crowmance]

Seriously? That outfit was pretty tame, though. My first choice was much sexier.

[ Don't think about that one too hard. ]

Anyway, I'm the one wearing it so it should be fine.

[overworker]

[Towa freezes in place for a long five seconds.]

That’s tame?! There’s no way I can wear that in public!!

[But of course HE wouldn’t have any problem with it.]

[bad_crowmance]

You'd look really hot if you did, though.

[ It might not hurt if he had perhaps a smidge more shame. ]

[overworker]

Eeeeeeehhhhh—

[Not helping, Crow!!!!]

[bad_crowmance]

I'm just saying, I definitely wouldn't complain if you showed up in it one day.

[overworker]

Haaahhh...

[The fact that she knows for a fact that he’s being honest is the embarrassing part. Although... it’s kind of nice.]

Sometimes I feel bad for your sad standards.

[....................]

D-don’t hold your breath or anything but... m-maybe sometime...

[bad_crowmance]

Hey, you're not allowed to use yourself to knock my standards. I'd bet you I could message anyone else here and they'd agree that you're in the best of taste.

[overworker]

Don't you dare!!

[Don't try and murder her like that???]

Besides. I never said I wasn't glad for it. You're pretty weird-- but I'm grateful that you are the way you are.

[bad_crowmance]

[ He grins at her. ]

I wouldn't have me any other way.

[ He knows he has his flaws, some of them pretty big and terrible ones, but overall he likes the way he is too much to give up on most of those. ...Though maybe he could work on one or two.

The fashion taste is perfect, though. ]
