[ Since seeing Sophie's post on the network, Cheria had come to realize just what sort of things people might be telling her, and how it affects Sophie's view on things. Of course, Mommy bear as she is, she didn't think it was a good idea to let it keep happening, though even she knew there was only so much she could do herself ...

... but maybe she was just being overprotective. A second opinion never hurt, did it? Even if that second opinion came from the biggest dope on the face of any planet. As much of a dope as he was, though, that dope was still one of her best friends, and she did value his opinion.

She stood in the doorway to the room Asbel was in, leaning against the doorframe for a few moments. She watched him, hesitating to speak ...

But then, she finally did. ]

Hey, Asbel? Could we talk?

Comments

[protectingwishes]

R-Right. I guess we could do that.

I suppose it could get more serious if we don't do something.

[dreamchasing]

Right, then. So ... are we going to?

[ She's in it if you are. ]

[protectingwishes]

Yes. We'll ask everyone to be a little more careful when talking to Sophie.

[Serious Asbel is serious.]

[dreamchasing]

Okay, then.

[ She takes one more look at his tie, and then smiles a little at him. ]

For now, though, you should probably get to work.

[protectingwishes]

Oh? Oh yeah. I don't want to be late.

[He smiled at Cheria, still grateful for helping him with the tie.]

We'll talk to everyone when I get home.

[And with that he turned to leave.]

[dreamchasing]

All right. Have a good day at work ...

[ She finds herself staring out after him as he's leaving ... before she can stop herself, she's talking again. ]

H-Hey, Asbel?

[ rkjgnrkngrkn crap. what could she say now? she was just thinking that he looked really nice today-- ]

You look ... really nice today.

[ kjngkrngkn w-well, he kinda did. She looks away, clasping her hands together behind her back, her cheeks burning. ]

[protectingwishes]

Oh? Thanks heh heh.

[His face is a little red too.]

Um you do too, Cheria.

[Yeah he needs to work on his compliment delivery, but at least he's honest?]

[dreamchasing]

[ Yes, thank goodness for that. ]

Thanks ...

[ And now it's awkward. What do. ]

... You should probably get to work now.
