Yeah? We've known each other for some time now. Almost since I first got here. A lot's happened since then.

[ That's understating it. They've saved each other's lives, and that's only the beginning. Yu looks sheepish, scratching his cheek. ]

... we ended up tripping, and I fell on top of him. He logged out pretty quickly after that. He can be tough to read, and I ended up pretty convinced he didn't want anything to do with me romantically...

[ Yu sits up straighter, breathing out through his nose and looking away for a moment, thoughtful. ]

I'm still not totally sure. But I think I might have a chance after all.

[psycholawgy]

[ well, that's good to hear! the smile on athena's face as yu tells her that he may have a chance is totally genuine. though a part of her is slightly jealous of the romance. it's always been her dream to be treated like a princess and have her own prince charming, but her dream's ended and she's woken up to reality. ]

I think you do.

What's not to like, after all?

[covenantal]

[ The compliment seems to surprise him, as he blinks at her, straightening a little. Actually, by the way he glances off to one side, ducking his chin slightly, she may actually have managed to fluster him a little.

But he'll look back at her with a small smile. ]

Thanks, Athena. That's kind of you to say.

[psycholawgy]

[ she nods a couple of times then claps her hands in delight. ]

Mm, you're welcome! You're a really great guy, Yu! If we got to know each other even better, I might end up having a crush on yo! [ she says it ever so lightly, but she means it even more than what she had just said previously. ]

[covenantal]

Come on... [ He says it with a bit of a sheepish laugh. It's hard to fluster him this much, congrats, Athena. For someone normally fairly perceptive, he misses the fact that she might actually mean that. ]

I'm sure we'll get to know each other better. I like spending time with you, Athena. [ He means it sincerely, of course. ]

UGH i meant you and not yo x-(!!

[psycholawgy]

Of course you do! [ ah... it's only 10% of the time that athena is sheepish. ] I'm plenty interesting.

The cases I've worked on are even more interesting, too.

[covenantal]

Tell me about them. [ His smile shows his genuine interest. He really does want to learn more about Athena, and her life. ]

[psycholawgy]

We defended an orca in court once!

[ said excitedly, her index finger lifted as if making a point. this is very big news ok. ]
