I'm also glad I'm back. Sorry for worrying you.

[Hums happily, toying with the ends of his hair again]

[doublefried]

It was a weird experience for sure.

[tothosewhobait]

What was it like? From your side of things.

[doublefried]

It was like... I don't know if you've ever been sick in a way where you get like, a really high fever?

[tothosewhobait]

We don't really get sick much in the sea...

[doublefried]

Lucky... well, sometimes when you get a high enough fever it sort of has an effect on your brain? Like you space out and get dizzy or confused. As well as the body heat. So it was kind of like that until I caught on fire, and then it was just like... having fainted?

[tothosewhobait]

An...that feeling is gone now, right? Or are you still foggy?

[doublefried]

Yeah, it's gone now. I had kind of a hangover afterwards, but I'm back to normal now.

[tothosewhobait]

At least it's good to know to look out for that sort of feeling now...

[doublefried]

For sure... if I start overheating again that'll be something to pay attention to.

[tothosewhobait]

The bird was plenty nice, but I'd rather have you.

[doublefried]

I'd rather BE me. The bird was embarrassing.

[tothosewhobait]

He was...charming. In his own way.

[doublefried]

He's soooo embarrassing.

[tothosewhobait]

A little vain, but I've known people far worse than him.

[doublefried]

All he wants is for people to chase him around calling him pretty.

[tothosewhobait]

So should I not call you pretty?

[doublefried]

You absolutely should call me pretty but that doesn't mean the bird was not embarrassing about it.

[tothosewhobait]

[Hums in though, tracing his eyeliner]

Or do you prefer handsome? Cute?

[doublefried]

I am all three in equal measure.

[tothosewhobait]

Oh, certainly.

[doublefried]

[ hehe. settles in looking pleased but flustered ]

Anyway, I'm glad to not be overheating, on fire, or a big bird, and I am quite happy to be having a nice time in a soft pillow fort .

[tothosewhobait]

...may I ask something?

[doublefried]

Yeah?
