It's very kind of you to say so. I do my very best at least.
[He gives a small cough to break the tension.]
Ah but you don't need to hear all about my sad story. It really isn't that interesting. I'm sure there are other things you might like to know instead.
I am rather fond of cats. The wild ones too. So I suppose that if I were to want to see an animal at the zoo it would be any of the leopards or tigers and so on.
...gets his first memory. There seems to be no trigger for it but it just happens and it turns his cheeks bright red as his eyes widen. And then he's covering his face.]
I...apologize. It's not you. I promise. I just think...I learned what it's like to get one of those...memories.
[He reaches out to set a hand on Biffy's arm, but then hesitates. He has no idea what this memory is, and the last thing he wants to do is trigger something.]
We can go someplace else, so that you don't have to worry about people.
[Honestly, he's prepping for if Biffy starts having a panic attack. It's the only thing he can think of at the moment.]
[He gives a little laugh and he's still quite red. As daring as he is he knows he's not that daring. Even in that memory he remembers being so embarrassed.]
Have ever heard of the dreams where you have something important to do and find you forgot to...to put your clothes on?
Orion's face goes right into his palms. Thanks, Retrospec. Now he has that lovely, fantasized image in his head. And it's not the time or place to be having that.
He tries to mumble something through his hands, but it's mostly indistinct. He's so sorry, Biffy.]

Date: 2017-11-27 03:55 am (UTC)Still, even he's not dense enough to not realise that Biffy wants a subject change.]
Okay.
What about favourite animal? Do you like them? Is there one at the zoo you just have to see before you leave?
[Somebody's digging for future date ideas.]

Date: 2017-11-28 07:21 pm (UTC)Yea, I guess that makes sense. The way you look and behave is kind of like a cat.
[Clean, proper, playful.]
no subject
Date: 2017-11-30 09:17 am (UTC)That's a compliment, right?
[He's teasing him.]
no subject
Date: 2017-11-30 02:19 pm (UTC)YES! I mean... ofcourseitis. I mean... I don't necessarily like cats, but... No, it's a compliment, I swear!
no subject
Date: 2017-12-01 09:33 am (UTC)[He really is still teasing him. Because Orion is making it sooooooo easy.]
no subject
Date: 2017-12-08 03:28 pm (UTC)No. I mean yes. I mean...shit....
.....Maybe?
I like you is what I mean.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-08 03:35 pm (UTC)You like me?
[His tone is more gentle now.]
no subject
Date: 2017-12-08 03:47 pm (UTC)Yea. I think so.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-09 12:26 am (UTC)And if I say I think I might like you too?
[They're still feeling things out but he's pretty confident.]
no subject
Date: 2017-12-12 02:49 pm (UTC)...You do?
[He might have released a breath he didn't realise he was holding.
It's not completely one-sided then.
Not that he had sufficient reason to believe otherwise.]
I'd... I'd like that alot.

Date: 2017-12-12 02:51 pm (UTC)[He laughs softly and...

Shit, that's cute. Still though.]
Are you okay?
[He reaches out to set a hand on Biffy's arm, but then hesitates. He has no idea what this memory is, and the last thing he wants to do is trigger something.]

Have ever heard of the dreams where you have something important to do and find you forgot to...to put your clothes on?
[He looks down, still quite flustered.]
I...I remember being...without clothes. In...front of...Queen Victoria...
no subject
Date: 2017-12-19 03:09 pm (UTC)Wait...
Without clothes.

Date: 2017-12-21 04:16 am (UTC)I apologize for...whatever that was.
[What on earth brought on a memory like that?]
no subject
Date: 2017-12-25 12:37 am (UTC)[Sorry for the sudden volume change, Biffy. He didn't mean to say that so loud and abrupt.]
I mean... you don't need to worry about it. The app does weird stuff like that all the time.
[He knows he's had terrible things he'd rather not remember. So, Biffy's allowed to have his.]
Don't apologise for that. It's Retrospec's fault.
no subject
Date: 2017-12-26 12:46 pm (UTC)Well thank you for that. I do appreciate the support.
no subject
Date: 2018-01-03 03:06 pm (UTC)Yea, it's the least I can do.
....
If they ever give you shit, let me know. I'll go kick their asses for you. And make sure they pay for whatever they broke.
no subject
Date: 2018-01-04 01:01 am (UTC)Thank you. But there's no need for violence. It's very kind of you to want to watch over me like that though.
