[oh sorry caleb can't see it because he's being a little coward about entering this glitter explosion room but molly is losing it]

Aren't YOU the popular one, Mr. Caleb. You might be the most eligible bachelor in this place.

[katzepaw]

[He's in the common room so he can probably hear this.]

Stop. You are making fun of me.

[headmt]

[oh he might hear vacuuming sounds too then that pauses whenever he gets a text back]

I'm not!

Or only a little. Not because I don't think you're a worthy pursuit I just like the funny red color you go when you get teased. You're very charming and handsome and I'm here trying to get glitter out of a bed for you so obviously I'm under the same wretched enthrallment.

[katzepaw]

[He is dying at this text there is no way he can respond to this.]

[headmt]

[well while he's not responding]

Also I did mention it to Beau but she already knew because as you mentioned we aren't exactly masters of subtlety so basically it doesn't count.

[katzepaw]

[Oh my god.]

How sure are you she wasn't just pretending she knew.

When I mentioned you asked me on a date for the task, she said "Gross."

[headmt]

Well we are gross.

[katzepaw]

Yes, I know.

[headmt]

I like you very much. Even if Beau thinks it's gross.

[katzepaw]

If you keep saying things like that, you will spoil me.

[headmt]

Are you coming in here or not?

[katzepaw]

A little later, I'm afraid. I think there is a town hall.

[Did you think you would get away with this!!!]

[headmt]

[I THOUGHT I MIGHT GET AWAY WITH THIS anyway




town hall time]

[katzepaw]

[After the town hall, he's a little bit quiet when they get back to the dorm.]

[headmt]

[Well he's a little stupid, but not that stupid. He kind of has an idea of why.]

... It'll be alright.

[katzepaw]

I know.

[He nods, agreeing, giving him a small reassuring smile.

You are making it worse for him.]

[headmt]

[He reachers over to squeeze his arm, dropping his hand to try and catch Caleb's hand with his own. If he'll let him.

I'm not scared of it.

[katzepaw]

[He will let him, but he frowns at him.]

You are, a little.

[headmt]

[A little.]

Only because I'm not completely insane. Not scared enough I think it's not worth going.

[katzepaw]

Of course it is worth going.

[He sounds a little frustrated by that. Why do you think I - ]

[headmt]

[Just squeezing the hand.]

... I don't really know what to say anymore, then.

[katzepaw]

There is nothing to say, really. You should go, you will be helpful there. Beauregard will be helpful there.

[But why both of you, why - stop it, stop it.]

[headmt]

[There it is.]

... But you're a little scared.

[katzepaw]

[Crossing his arms across his chest, sort of staring at the ground.]

. . . You will both forget me.

[headmt]

[Oh.

Yeah.

He reaches up to cup his face, running his thumbs over his cheekbones.]

For a few hours, maybe. But never forever. [...] I remembered you, when I went empty on the other side.
