Well yes, but at least you make a very pretty girl? ... That's more than I can say for myself?

[T-TWITCH]

. . . ah.

I'm sorry, I guess that's hardly a compliment, is it? Ah... let's talk about something else?

It's . . . alright. You didn't mean anything by it.

People can be insulting without meaning to be.

But are you having an okay time, regardless?

Mm. But it's the meaning that usually hurts.

Ah, I'm alright. It's nice to see everyone else having a good time. Ah, you and Franz . . .

That's true enough, I guess.

Ah, Franz and I...?

Oh! Um . . .

...?

. . . nothing, I guess! You two are just—I mean, you're dating, right?

Ah... yeah. I mean, it's uh-- I uh. Yes.

[guess who is red to his roots.]

[covers a grin, blushing a little himself]

I'm . . . happy for you.

Oh! Thank you. ... Is it-- are we really that obvious?

[. . . fidgets]

Ah . . .

Sorry! I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable! My bad. We can uh, talk about something else. ... Again. Uh. I'm not really doing so well with the whole polite conversation thing tonight.

No, it's fine, it's just. You told me.

... I did?

In the . . . in the anonymous post.

Ah! That was you? ... I had wondered.

... Don't worry, I can pretend as if it's still anonymous to me, if-- if that's what you're worried about.

No, it's . . . okay. I can't imagine you wanting to tell anybody.

Mm, not really, no. That's part of the reason why I like to talk to people in those posts-- I think... it's good if people can get something off their chest to someone without worrying that it'll be revealed to other people.

[nods]

For me, it would be bad, if . . .

If other people knew? Because you're family's here, right?

Yes. Akito. Shigure. And . . . the friend I was talking about.

I can't even imagine how difficult that must make things for you.
