It feels like...[Osvaldus pauses, then, his hand drifting down from his cheek to settle against Enygma's sternum] ...it feels like a part of you isn't there when they aren't. That a piece of you is somewhere else, with that person. Like there's a space you can't quite fill with anyone or anything else.

[enigmaster]

I... see. [He doesn't, really. Or...] I'm still not sure. Feelings like that are... [...] I'm not entirely certain I am capable of them.

[agoodname]

Oh? [he tilts his head a bit, in curiosity]

Well, I suppose that'll be something to think about. [he hums a bit, squeezing his hand, before dropping it and stepping back, breaking contact to walk over towards the table]

In the mean time, we wouldn't want dinner to get cold.

[enigmaster]

Dinner? [Tilting his head. ....he doesn't know what a date is]

[agoodname]

[Osvaldus pauses, then, glancing over his shoulder on the way to the table. Like it's more than two steps away] Well, yes. I said I'd cook for you, didn't I?

[enigmaster]

[He sort of figured Osvaldus was going to eat that himself.] You did. Yes. I'm still not certain why...

[agoodname]

Because you liked the panino and the hummus, right?

[enigmaster]

I... think I did? [you did, bud]

[agoodname]

[he looks almost amused at that] Then you'll have to try some different kinds of food, then. There's a lot of different flavors out there. [he moves to sit, gesturing to the other seat] Besides, eating a meal is often a feature of a date. [:>]

[enigmaster]

[He sits down. Right. Yes. That word again. He'll just sort of... nod? Sure, we all know what dates are. Right?] Alright. I'll take your word for it. [he looks at the food.] So what... are these? [...he points at the hummus.] I know this one. But not the others.

[agoodname]

[he props his chin in his hand for a moment, then] Do you...know what a date is?

[because that seems kind of important]

[enigmaster]

[...okay. okay, come on, Enygma, you know this one. think of all your knowledge of the mortal realm. the answer is in there somewhere.] ... [And then he sits up, looking confident.] Yes! It's a type of fruit.

[agoodname]

[.........] ...well. You're not wrong, exactly.

[enigmaster]

Because I'm right. [he looks so proud]

[agoodname]

[he almost hates to burst his bubble]

It's not the only kind of date, however. And I'm afraid I don't have any of those kind of dates here.

[almost]

[enigmaster]

[...he deflates immediately.] ...Oh.

[agoodname]

[alksdhfs] Sorry to disappoint.

[enigmaster]

Why are two different things using the same word. That's needlessly confusing.

[agoodname]

Because it depends on the context of which they are used. There's a third meaning as well.

[enigmaster]

How many meanings are there? [he looks downright offended at the very concept WHAT ELSE IS THERE]

[agoodname]

Three that I can think of off the top of my head. [he hums] The first one is the fruit; you're right on that. The second is a way of telling what day, month and year it is. And the last one is...doing activities at a planned specific time with someone, sometimes friends, or, more commonly, someone you have a romantic interest in.

[enigmaster]

[wait romantic????] ...so this is like... the third one? [like in a friend way right because obviously it cannot be romantic]

[agoodname]

That was the intent, yes. Hence why I thought it would be important that you be aware of that. [he is trying so hard not to look super nervous right about now and just keep that calm, mildly amused demeanor but alskdhfs he kind of feels like his stomach is tied up in thousands of knots]

[enigmaster]

Like how... mortal friends date? [this is a lot okay and no one should "date" death]

1/2

[agoodname]

[okay but fuck the "should"s, actually] ...no.
