[Group][Efthalia]: then we can

[Group][Efthalia]: but i think we might be missing out

[Group][Efthalia]: i want to see where this goes

There was a slightly fraught silence. Drew’s hands were shaking a little against the keyboard. Wow, that was the most serious“we should go out” speech he’d ever given anyone, and he was pretty sure he would never have been able to say it aloud. Not without feeling like an idiot. To be honest, he felt a bit of an idiot now, but it was cushioned by two medusas standing in a puddle around an elemental they’d forgotten to loot.

Still nothing from Kit.

Drew risked putting his fingers back on the keys.

[Group][Efthalia]: and look

[Group][Efthalia]: not being funny or anything

[Group][Efthalia]: but the way i see

[Group][Efthalia]: i’ve never had a boyfriend

[Group][Efthalia]: and actually you’ve never had a boyfriend

[Group][Efthalia]: so we’re both pretty new to this

[Group][Efthalia]: and what have we got to lose

Silence. Silence. Silence.

[Group][Aconite]: Okay

Drew stared blankly at the screen. He wasn’t sure whether to celebrate or hide under the desk.

[Group][Efthalia]: seriously?

[Group][Aconite]: Why? Were you hoping I’d say no?

[Group][Efthalia]: No!

[Group][Efthalia]: i just wasn’t sure you were going to say yes

[Group][Aconite]: After a speech like that, how could a guy resist?

[Group][Efthalia]: *blush*

[Group][Aconite]: Hee, that’s my line.

[Group][Efthalia]: lol

It was as close as it was going to get to how it used to be. And Drew was slightly shocked at how happy it made him.

[Group][Efthalia]: so…like

[Group][Efthalia]: basic internet safety stuff

[Group][Efthalia]: we should meet somewhere neutral and public and tell people where you’re going

[Group][Efthalia]: somewhere in town?

[Group][Aconite]: It’s not exactly classy but how about Starbucks?
