MANDI SHITPOST LATER

I don't think he would force anything, he was the one who figured things out and asked questions about touching in the first place.

[duranduel]

That's good. That shows he respects you. But even so, if you feel off, just stop and tell him that, okay?

[A beat. He's remembering the images from earlier.]

But don't, um. Run away. Just say it.

[silentscout]

[He makes a grumbling noise at that. Using words ughhhhhh]

[duranduel]

I mean it, Lalli.

He has to respect you, but you have to respect him too. Running away is like...slappin' him in the face. Believe me, I know how hard it is to say stuff, but...if you love him, you should try to.

[silentscout]

[But words are HARD!]

...I know. This stuff is important, that's why I asked.

[duranduel]

I'm glad you did. I mean, I know I'm no expert but...

If I can help you, then...I'm glad. You and Kon are good together.

[silentscout]

You know more than most people.

[And Mandi is easy to bully so he's not worried about him blabbing any of this to anyone.]

...I don't really know what 'good together' is, but being near him is nice.

[duranduel]

Ha. Only because Wang Lu was the one who walked me through it.

[One of them was the experienced one with that stuff, and it wasn't Mandricardo.]

[But he smiles slightly at that.]

He makes you feel safe, doesn't he?

[silentscout]

...yeah.

[Flashbacks to how he keeps tucking himself against Kon and holding his hand when he's worried or anxious. Kon's so much bigger than him that it's easy to do.]

[duranduel]

I think that's the best feeling in the world. Knowin' you always have someone to turn to when things get overwhelming.

[A light smile.]

He's a really kind guy. And I think he must feel lucky to have you.

[silentscout]

Mmm.

[He seems a little antsy, and Mandi will be able to catch a flash of -can't talk about that- before Lalli stands up suddenly.]

Let's do the obstacle course.

[Topic change time! Feelings are too hard!]

[duranduel]

[There's just a nod from Mandricardo, respectful.]

[Being in love is exciting and nerve-wracking so, like...yeah, I get it.]

Um. Sure. Race ya?

[silentscout]

[It helps, being understood. And having someone to ask awkward questions of.]

Mhmm. First to the end wins.

[I'll be nice and see if he can keep up first.

Yeah he's totally underestimating Mandi whoops.]

[duranduel]

....Ha.

[That's definitely a smirk on his face when he hears that thought.]

See you in the dust, Lalli.

[A little salute-! And HE'S OFF LIKE A ROCKET. The power of Agility Rank A! He's pretty good and nimble when it comes to the obstacle course, too.]

[silentscout]

[Oh. Mandi can run.

That makes Lalli smirk, and then he takes off too. He's not strong, but he's fast and soon enough he'll be catching up to Mandi. Agility Rank A, meet Agility Rank S.]
