	You can start by bringing me a smoothie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can start by bringing you a smoothie? How much did I manage to offend you? And how do you like your smoothies? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, implying I'm not incredibly hilarious puts me at about a 9 on the emotional pain scale so starting with a smoothie (green as possible, please!) is very generous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I see I have a lot of groveling to do, then. I won't forget this kindness. We can stop somewhere on our walk, yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apollonia 2020-02-18 03:54 am UTC (link)
	Rightly so. Not many receive this level of clemency from me. Yeah, okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	broadsword 2020-02-18 03:58 am UTC (link)
	I feel very special. All right, just let me know the best place to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's a park on [street] near my place. When should I expect you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I need to wrap up some paperwork at the office so probably about a half-hour, if that's all right. Hopefully less, but I'm giving myself some buffer space. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Iain. apollonia 2020-02-18 04:26 am UTC (link)
	Take your time. And if you're, like, too busy with stuff we can do it another day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apollonia. broadsword 2020-02-18 04:50 am UTC (link)
	No, not at all. I want to make sure you're all right after [...] everything up there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Iain. apollonia 2020-02-18 04:53 am UTC (link)
	Woof. I hope everyone forgets about me going all Dark Apollonia. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apollonia. broadsword 2020-02-18 04:56 am UTC (link)
	I won't mention it again. But I still want to check on you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Iain. apollonia 2020-02-18 05:06 am UTC (link)
	No, it's okay. I'm going to have to talk about at some point. I just haven't really [...] unpacked what happened and all of my stupid feelings. You're like, the nicest dude ever. Thanks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apollonia. broadsword 2020-02-18 05:23 am UTC (link)
	[...] Probably, yeah. But you don't need to have it all figured out today. Do you have someone you trust to work through this with? You're sweet, Apollonia. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Iain. apollonia 2020-02-18 05:28 am UTC (link)
	I have a really good support system. I just need to figure out who would understand it the most, you know? Only to people I really like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apollonia. broadsword 2020-02-18 05:34 am UTC (link)
	That's great -- not everyone has that. I do, aye. [...] ~~Are you~~ ~~You're definitely fl~~ I have a potentially very stupid question to ask. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Iain. apollonia 2020-02-18 05:38 am UTC (link)
	No, I know I'm lucky. My family's great and I love my Underdog people even if they're huge nerds. To quote every teacher ever, there's no such thing as a stupid question. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apollonia. broadsword 2020-02-18 05:42 am UTC (link)
	The Underdog crowd always seemed like good people to me. I interviewed with them, but it didn't pan out for whatever reason. I like PI, though. I like being at the same agency as my siblings. No, there definitely is such a thing as a stupid question because I've asked many of them, but [...] you were flirting with me, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Iain. apollonia 2020-02-18 05:56 am UTC (link)
	Sometimes I wish at least one of my sisters was powered. Any of them would make kickass partners-in-heroism. [.........] I mean. Do you want me to be flirting with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apollonia. broadsword 2020-02-18 06:02 am UTC (link)
	I have no doubt, and I get it. My brother is powered and having someone to grow up with who understands that is [...] easier, in some ways. Though I'm sure you and your sisters wouldn't need powers to be an impressive force. [...] If I said yes, does that make me come off as a lech trying to pick up a younger woman or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Iain. apollonia 2020-02-18 06:09 am UTC (link)
	You're right about that. My sister Honorina can throw croquet mallets with surprising accuracy, which I think is a power in and of itself. ~~adlfkkagamg omg~~ I would never call you a lech, and honestly I feel like I'm the one doing the picking up. Or trying to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apollonia. broadsword 2020-02-18 06:16 am UTC (link)
	One of the agencies should sign her immediately. I don't know anyone who'd want to be on the receiving end of that. My brother and sister constantly make fun of me for how oblivious I am when it comes to women. I promise it's not personal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Iain. apollonia 2020-02-18 06:20 am UTC (link)
	Prestige would fit her personality. You think I'm a brat? She makes me look low-maintenance. I'm not taking it personally. But I am flirting with you, and if you ever want to do anything about that... well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apollonia. broadsword 2020-02-18 06:33 am UTC (link)
	Why would I think you're a brat? I don't know if you've noticed, but being dramatic is something of a McIntyre family trait. That, and being stubborn. And a little reckless. Well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Iain. apollonia 2020-02-18 06:40 am UTC (link)
	Okay, your family sounds like my kind of people. That is what I said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
