Um... So...


[Allen sounded rather awkward to say the least and he honestly felt it. He really had no idea what exactly was going on with him either. It was different but was it a good thing or bad.]

I need to talk to someone about something. It's not medical related, at least I really hope not. I just have something I need help with, that's all.

On the lips? No wussing out on me with forehead or cheek or hand nonsense.

Action

[goingthroughaphase]

[ When he arrives, she smiles and returns the wave, closing her book and placing it aside. ]

A little, but it's okay. I can read later. [ Though he's smiling, she can't help feeling a little curious, and a touch concerned. ] So what's going on?

[spikelet]

Then what's the problem?

[mynameisallen]

Nothing. Just things feel different on my end.

Voice

[mynameisallen]

Maybe. I assume that means something, right?

Action

[mynameisallen]

[He went to take a seat before giving off a small sigh.]

Well... a friend I knew from before I came here arrived recently. I.. am happy she is here but when she arrived... I just...seem to act differently. She is a pretty amazing person, so it could just be my admiration, but it feels duifferent.

[mynameisallen]

That's because I am.

[It was at least something he was going to acknowledge. It was something he usually tried to do as well.]

I mean once it's figured out I'll be able to do something about it, which is also a good thing. We all will probably have moments like this right? Where we don't get something, but we have to figure it out and learn.

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

Well, yeah. If you wanna kiss someone you know personally on the lips? You DEFINITELY have, at the very least, a huge lovey-dovey adorable crush on 'em.

[irrationally]

Hmm.

[ She means to say 'yes', but that means being publically vulnerable in even the slightest way.

And there's no way Alice wants to do that, so all she gives him in return is a hum. ]

Perhaps you just need to think about something else for a while, and then the solution to the way you feel now might suddenly come to you later, after thinking about the other thing. Like why a raven is like a writing desk, for example.

Re: Voice

[mynameisallen]

But she is a friend though.

[He doesn't want that to change because of it. it's clear that worries him.]

[mynameisallen]

That's an odd question to ask. They don't have anything in common.

[He's not a smart boy, or that good at riddles.]

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

Easy, kiddo. I'm not saying you have to act on these feelings - it's just healthy for you to acknowledge 'em! And real friends will still be there for you even if romance doesn't pan out. Trust me, if every person I hit on never spoke to me again, I'd be a one-woman island.

[ ... maybe this is the sort of thing normal people don't admit out loud, but, that's della. ]

[irrationally]

Nothing whatsoever?

[ She is slowly getting the impression that riddles aren't really Allen's strong suit.. But then again, his mind is off his own problem for a moment now, right? So mission accomplished. ]

I mean, I could think of a few things. A friend of mine asked me that when I was much younger, so I've had a long time to think about it.

Re: Voice

[mynameisallen]

So I could just acknowledge them and do nothing about it. pretend that everything is okay?

[To be honest he would kind of like that really.]

[mynameisallen]

So you have an answer for it? What is your answer then?

[Considering it took her a while, he is going to at least guess that the answer isn't just the pone answer, it all depends on the person.]

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

Well... you shouldn't have to pretend everything is okay. I've seen what happens when people bottle up and go into denial. It ain't pretty.

[irrationally]

Well, outstanding bills are found on both of them.

[ Yes, she does manage to deliver that pun shamelessly.

Though her voice sounds fairly flat as she says it. ]

Re: Voice

[mynameisallen]

What happens?

[mynameisallen]

[It might take Allen a good moment or two to get the pun. Once he finally clocks on he chuckles slightly.]

I guess that is an answer.

Action

[goingthroughaphase]

[ She tilts her head a little. It doesn't sound terrible so far, but there's something about his expression that seems a bit off. ]

So, when you say you act differently around her, how do you act?

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

Well, have you ever seen a bottled up soda pop shaken over and over and over?

Re: Voice

[mynameisallen]

Actually, I have not. What happens?

Action

[mynameisallen]

I guess the best way to put it was I just seem more awkward.

[Which usually he was always a lot more confident at least that is how he thinks he is like.]

Re: Voice

[sos_pilot]

[ She makes a closed motion with her hands, then opens them with a very loud - ]

BOOM!

Action

[goingthroughaphase]

[ Hmmmmmm. ]

And, um...what do you think about this friend? Like, what's she like?
