week 3, monday

[branches]

[As Tsuyukusa predicted, no one else is there when they go to the greenhouse. It is warm and humid unlike the outside!! And smells like earth.]

So now can you tell me what you were saying before?

[ leo was not emotionally prepared for this he didn't think this far what is he supposed to do what does he say what is actually going on here aaaaaa ​]

Uh. Right. That. I mean, um...

[ wow. awkward. somehow still less awkward than mabel and her sweater? but awkward nonetheless. leo scratches at his neck. ]

I guess that I don't... mind? If you meant it?

[ this isn't clearing anything up valdez!!!! ]

[branches]

[These two just quietly flipping out as neither of them know what they're doing.]

That doesn't explain anything further?? I just-I'm not asking for a commitment or anything it's just like??? Trying something out??
[He's not asking you to Date him just to go On A Date? Is he asking that??? He guesses he is asking that now???]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ just two idiot teenagers who don't know what the fuck they're doing ]

Wh- What do you want to try out?

[ WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ]

[branches]

[Very IC for teenagers at least.]

I-The date thing? Like actually doing it??
[aaaaaaaaa]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ instead of answering leo just fiddles with something random from his toolbelt. ]

But you said you wanted to do something romantic. [ hmmm. ] There's nowhere on a school campus that would work for something like that.

[ this is also not an answer, leo. ]

[branches]

I mean that was just hypothetical. And before you explained what made a date different from just hanging out. It's not like I want to go eat food or anything.

[Bro we are just dancing around the point.]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ ????? ]

That's - Then what - what do you want?

[ HE IS SO CONFUSED ]

[branches]

I don't know?? Just to walk in the woods and talk or whatever???

[And then the tsun kicks in. He can only handle so much.]

Just forget it! You don't have to humor me or whatever this is! I don't need something like that!

[commandertoolbelt]

Who said I'm humoring you?!

You could do those things with anyone! Why would it be different with me? You didn't even bite me that week!

[ surely that means something?!



I FORGOT TO HIT POST ]

[branches]

Well I didn't feel the same way that week! I hadn't really talked to you yet!

[commandertoolbelt]

Then what-

[ what? doesn’t matter what. it’s memshare time. it surprises leo enough that he takes a step back like he was slapped. ]

[branches]

[The first thing that happens is Tsuyukusa as well practically leaps back as if he himself had been burned? But then he just sort of looks at Leo, confused, or surprised maybe. Like he's reassessing him.]

For someone who acts like an idiot half the time you're...
[I MEAN HE SAW. LEO DEFEATED A GODDESS???]

More capable than I would have guessed.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ ouch? ouch! leo isn’t that offended, honestly, but even so - ]

Did it ever occur to you that I do that on purpose?

[ that's only half true, he is definitely still an idiot by nature. ]

[branches]

... Why would you do something like that?

[commandertoolbelt]

Because it's more fun than being serious all the time? And, as you may have noticed, it means people underestimate me. They never expect someone like me to be able to fight back.

[ and honestly neither does he, half the time. ]

[branches]

[Thinks this over. Considers for a moment if perhaps Toki was doing this before deciding that no. Toki is surely as stupid as he appears.]

I guess that's actually pretty smart. Though, I'm sort of glad you don't have fire powers here.
[Tree and Fire do not play nicely.]

[commandertoolbelt]

...I'm not going to set you on fire, man. Even if I can get the Blessing back.

[branches]

I mean, you never do it by accident or anything?

[JUST MAKING SURE!!!]

[commandertoolbelt]

[ wh- HEY. ]

I've only ever set myself on fire by accident, never anyone else!

[branches]

[LEO???]

H-how is that supposed to make me confident in your abilities??

[commandertoolbelt]

Because I’ve never set a tree on fire?! And I don’t even set myself on fire that often! Just - when I’m surprised or get too excited or something.

[ he is kind of trailing off this is embarrassing help ]

[branches]

.....

[Good think it's not emotionshare week so Leo will have no idea why Tsuyukusa turns a bit red and looks away.]

A-anyway. I don't even care what you think about dates anymore.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ whispers, ] Oh, my gods.

[ trees are SO CONFUSING. ]

Sure, okay. [ he’s. not 100% convinced but he will let it go, and easily slide right back into teasing tsuyu instead. ] No point in dinner dates if you don’t eat. We’d have to find a different use for those candles.

[branches]

Well candles have a lot of ceremonial uses?

[HOW DOES THAT APPLY TO A DATE?]
