[A small sigh exhales out from him. It feels pointless trying to argue against Sophie, not to mention he wants to believe in her words-- that Maelle didn't just flat out reject him. So, it's best to just... let this be and try again tomorrow, as she mentioned.
It's of course going to stick to his mind all day. He's really not going to get much sleep tonight.
Well, because he's tired of talking about his stupid love life--]
(See, this why she wanted to murder Julian. No one's asked up to now, although she definitely saw Adrian bringing attention to it, but still! No one who didn't know before asked her about it now.
[He doesn't believe in this for a second!! Even if she doesn't think she's dating, she's definitely with at least one of them in some capacity. Honestly, he's been under the impression that those three and Magik were all fucking for a while. Also he's pretty sure someone brought up an orgy island that existed back home in their world??
It doesn't matter, but it really feels like you're flirting with them and vice versa. Or whatever you guys call that. Plus, you all know each other from before this place, so I'm sure there's even more relationship drama I'm missing.
[They're the only ones left from their world when they started with over 10 or something like that. Look, he thinks something like that would make them grow closer too.]
(Eh. Kinda, sorta, maybe? What does she tell the kid without exposing anyone and breaching their privacy? What is she, blabbermouth Julian?)
Look, I've known these two since I came into existence, pretty much. There's a lot of shit I went through with them, or they went through in general, or the Cuckoos in general have with them? So, yeah, you're missing years of drama. I guess if you wanna know, you can ask them? I'm serious that I'm definitely not dating either.
[Sometimes he forgets that Sophie is only like. 5 years old. But really, the thought of asking either of them about this, especially Julian, makes his face contort into something unpleasant. Like he ate a lemon.
Actually, he'd rather eat a lemon.]
Hard pass for me. [...] Well, guess you guys will figure something out. Or nothing at all. And just continue to be weird.
[He's dealing with enough relationship drama right now anyway.]
(She'd rather eat 5 lemons than be so forreal right now, so.)
Nothing to figure out, kid. And I like being weird! It's so very fun. Also, if you see me flirting with someone and take it to heart, you're gonna end up thinking I fuck literally the entire planet. I love flirting, and some people here get super flustered, so that's twice as fun, but that said, I literally don't have the schedule or the patience for that.
[...Didn't his other self in her timeline fuck the original person she's a clone of? Yeah maybe questioning that Scott's taste, but also, he can't imagine wanting to date Sophie just because of the more familial dynamic they have.]
I mean, yeah. Doy. I'm a nightmare, kid, the pretty doesn't make up for it.
(Which is news to her! She thought the pretty made her walk through everything so, so easy! Turns out, pretty privilege has a limit, and she's insane :(.
[COUGH. But look he's just getting up from the seat after that comment, because that was like way too mushy and they're done talking about romance, right? Right. So it's time to start retreating to his room.]
[Noooo he can't escape, why. :( He really should've just gone with his tried and true of sulking in his room all by himself. It's been his thing for so long! Now he's sitting here with his cheek pressed back against his hand and dealing with this.]
It's not because that you're just pretty, Sophie.
[He'd like to think that he wouldn't fall for something stupid just because the other person is cute. SURELY HE WOULDN'T..... also god what a stupidly sincere answer. Maybe he should've just played along with her comments.]

So, are you dating Quentin and Julian?
no subject
Processing, processing, processing...)
No, actually, I'm not dating either.
(Nailed it.)
no subject
That's bullshit.

So.]

(And by which, she'll tap around herself before as if she was checking in the spot.)
Yup, still totally single. Does it even matter?

I'm glad I'm spared from that whole side of you.

(He's not leaving to go sulk alone, shut up, she's going to make this worse.)
Breaking news! Tell me all about it.
(She's turning him back to his seat.)
FYI, I super am, I get away with genuinely psychotic crap, but hey. More reason for you to watch me and never fall for the same insane crap.
... I hope. I think? Just don't think pretty people are cool.
