( cont. from here! )

Then I'm the cart??

[ One hand subconsciously smoothes down his side. ]

Thank you!

[alittlebitsingle]

Nevermind. I mean don't jump the gun. You don't know what this is yet!

[roseapothecary]

No.

[ It's actually a struggle to type the next few words. ]

But I know what I want it to be.

[alittlebitsingle]

OMG David, you LIKE him.

[roseapothecary]

So??
That's never mattered before.

[ It's never kept anyone around. But he's also never liked anyone like this before. Never. ]

[alittlebitsingle]

You're worried about screwing up. [ She stops just short of adding 'like you always do' ]

Tell me more!

[roseapothecary]

Of COURSE I'm worried about that!!

[ She doesn't have to say it. He's already thinking it. ]

Tell you WHAT
That he's sweet
and polite
and clean.

[ And confident without being arrogant. And dependable without being boring. And cute. So fucking cute. ]

And he's going to realize that I'm just this
well-dressed mess of a person.

[alittlebitsingle]

You're not always a mess, just most of the time.

What's that they say? Fake it till you make it. If you like him then it'll be worth it.

[roseapothecary]

Thank you. You are just the best at offering support, Alexis.

Teach me how to fake it, then!!

[ He means exactly what that implies. ]

this is just freaking gold.

[alittlebitsingle]

EWW DAVID

i am getting all of my life from them 🤣😘

[roseapothecary]

EWW, ALEXIS

It doesn't come SO EASILY for some!

I am so glad I decided to tag him!

[alittlebitsingle]

It's not THAT hard if you put a little effort in.

i have never tfln'd before so ty!!

[roseapothecary]

[ He can't believe he's going to ask this. He's rolling his eyes at himself so hard they hurt. ]

So what would one do FIRST?
If they were going to
fake being cool and casual.

haha I never top level there because I'm chicken but I love to tag into people's stuff.

[alittlebitsingle]

Well, you want to be...kind of aloof. Like have an air about you. If Patrick says something that normally you might let's just say...go all David about, maybe don't.

Just be like...that's cool.

[ In all honesty David, why would you go to your sister of all people for advice on this. She's just as messed up as you are, just in a different way. ]

i had never seen another sc character around so i had no expectations! ❤️

[roseapothecary]

I'll have you know I have been called worse things than 'aloof'.
So okay. Easy enough.

[ But... he doesn't want to be aloof. Patrick doesn't deserve that. The reminder that Alexis isn't any better at this than he is strikes him as he's realizing that. ]

How'd that work out with Stavros?

[alittlebitsingle]

You're the one who came to me for advice, David.

And I'm pretty sure Patrick is NOT Stavros.

So you know...be yourself and maybe he'll like you anyway. If nothing else you can tell him all about your cool little sister and that'll win you some points.

[OOC: Comment too long for subject line. I have a friend who plays David and Mutt, and another who plays Alexis. I also have a Patrick and a Stevie but don't bust them out much.]

[roseapothecary]

Oh is that what happened?

[ He knows Patrick isn't. That's what's scary about it all. ]

Thankfully, from what he's told me I don't have to worry about him scoring points with my sister.

( OOC: Oh, awesome! You're welcome to add my plurk (kaitniss) if you like, because I would definitely hit your Patrick or Stevie in a hot second too! )

[alittlebitsingle]

You can do this, David. I believe in you or whatever.

[OOC: Done!]
