Who: You
When: Day 52, morning
Where: Anywhere

[Of course there's still the flowers that, when stepped on, enhance or dull a sense, and there are still some chocolates in the lounge if you missed them or want more.

But this morning dawns with an infestation of bats.

That is, tiny tiny clockwork bats that get in your hair and coffee and make tiny tiny clockwork bat screeches.

Should you encounter a clockwork bat, and they're pretty hard to dodge, the next person you talk to will... Well, see one of your memories.

Otherwise it seems like a pretty typical morning, and the bats will be gone by afternoon.]

[ Crow gives him a sidelong smile. ]

I get the impression you needed to hear it, at least once.

[ And that's likely the closest he's getting to a confession for a while, barring extenuating circumstances. ]

[awakenerd]

I wouldn't mind hearing it again, if you ever felt like saying it.

[Look he just promised to try to be more open, sort of.]

[bad_crowmance]

I think we can work something out.

[ But don't think he didn't notice those sad feelings. ]

[awakenerd]

[They have nothing to do with not liking the sap though!]

I'd like that.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Yes, but they exist which makes them worth remembering and carefully recalibrating his responses. ]

You really are sappy, aren't you?

[ It's said fondly. ]

[awakenerd]

[Don't do that??]

You caught me.

[bad_crowmance]

[ It's doesn't mean no nice things, just wording them more carefully. It's fine. ]

Your real secret weakness has been revealed-- soft feelings.

[awakenerd]

And I'm so very careful not to show it, however did you find out?

[bad_crowmance]

Because I am secretly a criminal mastermind, so brilliantly clever that I can figure out anyone's motives.

[ Well, parts of that are true anyway. ]

[awakenerd]

I have no choice but to keep a close eye on you, it seems.

[bad_crowmance]

Oh noooo, anything but that!

[awakenerd]

How will you cope.

[bad_crowmance]

I'll just have to distract you with my wit, charm, and devastatingly good looks. Can't figure out what I'm up to if you're too distracted.

[awakenerd]

Uh-huh.

[bad_crowmance]

It's a foolproof plan.
