[ OH THANK GOD ]

I have no idea what you're talking about. Do you really think you solved the mystery that easily?

[nolube]

so thats a totally platonic dinner ur going on?

[placation]

.............. Great question. Honestly, Adam, your guess is as good as mine.

[nolube]

cmon man shes totally in2 u

1/2

[placation]

She is 12,000 years old and originally came from a society so repressed that they didn't even see one another's faces with any sort of regularity, let alone touch. So no, that's not necessarily a given.

[placation]

... But you think so?

1/2

[nolube]

she asked u 2 dinner!!! she asked if u were eating!!! anyone with eyes could see it man

[nolube]

also shit

does that make her a cougar?

[placation]

I ask if people are eating well all the time. And offer to cook for them. As you may recall, I did that to you. It doesn't mean anything!

A

cat? No. She's a goddess.

[nolube]

u sure u werent coming on to me?

lol i meant shes into younger guys

didnt peg u for the type 2 go after older women either

[placation]

Very sure. You're out of my league.

And dating not one, but two of my patients. Good grief...

Ah. That's a new term to me. I don't think that's necessarily the case here, on either of our sides... I would be shocked if something like that crossed her mind at all.

[nolube]

its nothing 2 b embarrassed about if it is u know

btw when u say goddess do u mean

literally?

[placation]

Yes.

Although she prefers to be seen the same as any other person. Should you ever run into her, I don't want my big mouth to be the reason she feels awkward at being treated reverently.

[nolube]

cmon maruki

look at me

i dont do reverent

[placation]

Okay, true.

But I had to say something just in case! I don't want to give the wrong impression. Venat really is just like anyone else.

Despite being the creation goddess who killed the Green Knight.

Perhaps you can see where I'm coming from.

[nolube]

so venats her name!

[He only had her username to go off of, so there we go.]

guess id b pretty nervous about dating a creation goddess 2. u rly kno how 2 pick em

[placation]

[ Wait, Adam really didn't get her name from anywhere once he had her username at his fingertips? Maybe Maruki really is too much of a cyberstalker... or maybe Adam's not enough of one. ]

Ah, I ruined part of the mystery, didn't I.

It's not nerves, surprisingly. She doesn't make me nervous, which is more than I can say for all other women. It's just a delicate situation.

[nolube]

wait

all other women make u nervous?

[placation]

[ Well, there's no point in denying it. Not only because he said it, but because Adam will inevitably witness it one day. ]

Yes.

[nolube]

[That’s…


…well, it’s kind of pathetic. But in an undeniably endearing way.]

man. we gotta work on that

[placation]

Do we? I don't think that we do. As I said, it's not an issue with Venat.

[ ............ mostly. She hasn't purposefully flustered him in a while, outside of a compliment here or there after their battle. But if she starts publicly flirting with him on Sleepr to rile him up again and Adam sees, well. God help them. ]

[nolube]

ur a therapist and u dont see the issue here?

[placation]

I'm a counselor.

And no. I've lived perfectly well like this for some time, and I've overcome it with one person here. All is well from my perspective.

[nolube]

and what if she dies and disappears for who knows how fucking long huh?

[projection.]

[placation]

[ TEXTBOOK projection. ]

Point taken.

Enough about me and a relationship that will go nowhere slowly.

How are you holding up?
