[So. Yeah. That elevator. That... weird hug. It sure turned into... well. A thing. A thing that Blake couldn't quite stop thinking about. She knew it was stupid and wrong and not quite right, but... she and Kallen were starting to become friends!

She can't let this go silent and awkward any longer. Let's just... test the waters with a text. A thought-out and well-worded one. Yes, good.]

Hey.

[NAILED IT.]

[halfbloodqueen]

[Oh.

Yeah, it's Blake. That elevator thing sure had been... a thing. She's sure not expecting a text from her.]

sup

[kittyears]

Nothing much.

[She starts writing "You doing okay?" but quickly deletes that. Too direct!]

Long time, no see. How have you been?

[halfbloodqueen]

it hasnt been that long only like a few weeks

ive been ok

did you go to the thing

[kittyears]

[Weeks is long for her! Well, great. Now she sounds desperate.]

No way. I've had enough pet nonsense to last me a lifetime.

That aside, I have a few words to say about all that.

[It's an understatement, but she's trying to keep it cool.]

[halfbloodqueen]

yeah i dont blame you

it was... pretty fucked up

[Not gonna lie. Kallen's still kinda upset.]

[kittyears]

So, did you cause a ruckus?

[She's curious, okay.]

[halfbloodqueen]

what no of course not





maybe a little one

[kittyears]

You're all about making a scene, it seems.

[halfbloodqueen]

wtf no im not

but you try staying and watching a slave auction and not getting pissed off

[kittyears]

And that's why I didn't go.

[halfbloodqueen]

it was so messed up

this world is so fucking rotten

[kittyears]

It's true.

[...okay, come on, Blake. The whole point of texting Kallen was to lighten things up!]

I've met some pretty decent people here, though.

[halfbloodqueen]

yeah thats true i guess

i have too

youre not too bad i mean

[kittyears]

Yeah, that's what I mean.

You're one of the less stupid people here.

I like you a lot.

[WAIT.

SHIT.

How does she recover from that-- OH GOD THE TEXT IS MARKED "READ".]

[halfbloodqueen]

wait

seriously you like me??

i thought you thought i was annoying

[kittyears]

[Well....]


I thought I clarified!

You know, the other day...

[halfbloodqueen]

well ok yeah but with you its hard to tell

it feels like everything could be subtly sarcastic too

[kittyears]

Okay, that time was serious.

See? :|

This time I am also serious. :| Here I am, being serious. :|

[halfbloodqueen]

it still sounds like youre being sarcastic!!!

but youre not??

[kittyears]

I'm not!! :|

Look how serious I am. :[

[Blake, no.]

[halfbloodqueen]

ok do you realize the emoticons just make you look more sarcastic

[kittyears]

Well, just take my word that I am being honest right now.

[halfbloodqueen]

i believed you until you started using the smileys!!

[kittyears]

It was the truth regardless!
