ok lets walk this through
it sounds like it feels like a big deal
but maybe not a BAD deal
and strange but maybe in a nice strange way rather than a scary one
i mean you said it was warm
and there were a lot of feelings wrapped up in it
and that it was really
meaningful?
that it conveyed everything you felt about ruby
but youre concerned because you feel its not something "just friends" do
[Oh god who authorized him to lay this out with her, he is not qualified in even the remotest way.]
do you feel like it might change the friendship you and ruby have

I know it's not, yes. Except I guess for European people but I'm pretty sure that doesn't apply.
But I mean
My father didn't tell me much about boys and dating and things but
I mean, I've read some things.
[A quick pause as she collects her thoughts.]
I was worried it might, when it happened, I guess?
Do you think it might?
[Another pause.]
She was my only friend, back home. I don't want to lose that. Her.

[Okay, okay, good. She's already relating it to the romantic shit. Penny has all the pieces, she just hasn't put them together yet.]
change doesnt always mean losing something
sometimes its like
growth
growing into something stronger or better or different but just as good
besides ruby said it was fine right
that it was ok and that she understood
i know you only did it on account of weird friday shenanigans but
uncertain consequences aside and just thinking of the moment itself
doooo you think you might want to try it again?

I owe you an apology. I was incredibly out of line last night.
I know, but it doesn't seem like I apologized enough.
Still, though.
...for values of 'okay', I am.

[She's not sure what she expected when she started this conversation, but she's pretty sure this wasn't it.]
I mean they were magazines but
Your sister always sounds really smart when you talk about her.
Did she read a lot about
friends
Being stronger
Is that something that happens a lot?

you can never tell anyone i said this
but rose is the smartest person i ever met
and
ummmm its sort of less about what she read and more
how
she lived her life
in some ways
despite the myriad problems heaped on us like a himalayan mt trashmore
she and her girlfriend were the only good thing going on that meteor

You didn't. You made me come to my senses, which I needed to do.
...yeah. We were.
...yeah. We were.
Oh
Oh
My father never mentioned that kind of thing
I mean he didn't talk much about boys and things either but
I don't think that came up at all

[It's...weird, to have his actions justified like this. He doesn't know how to feel about it.]
im sure this goes without saying
but id really appreciate it if what i said
didnt get out
i dont like talking about it and if people dont need to know then id rather they didnt
i dont need everyone pussyfooting on eggshells around me

yeah uh people have kind of a spotty track record with bringing that option up
but its
an option
its definitely a thing that happens yeah
and like any other option in that catalog it can be a really great thing if done right with the right people
anyway im just putting it out there and if you need to do some research on the subject for real ill get you some books
or magazines i guess
ive got an employee discount

My lips are sealed, promise. I'm just sorry things happened the way they did.
Likewise - it's water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned.
