It means you definitely have to visit me.
And I don't have to fumble with English as much!

[awooligan]

I don't think you fumble but it isn't fair to make you the one always using another language
I'll practice more so I don't embarrass you on your home turf

[kept_his_letters]

You won't embarrass me.
But it would still be cool.
So, thank you.

[awooligan]

sounds like a challenge

[kept_his_letters]

Pfff
Embarrassing me?
I don't know.
Could you do that without embarrassing yourself?

[awooligan]

could you at least pretend for once that I have any chance of winning against you?

[kept_his_letters]

Ah, Of course.
Please do not embarrass me, Cliff, and therefore win.
My poor old heart cannot take it.

[awooligan]

thank you
but I wouldn't wanp

[why must his fingers betray him when he's just trying to delete]

my bad, ignore that

[kept_his_letters]

???
What?

[awooligan]

if I tell you I was going to say something stupid are you going to make me say the stupid thing

[kept_his_letters]

Well, you kind of just told me it was something stupid, so all that's left is saying the stupid thing.

[awooligan]

or I pretend this never happened but then you're going to think it's a big deal or something

[Which...it wasn't. Obviously.]

I was going to say something about how I wouldn't want your heart ever getting hurt

[kept_his_letters]

Cliff
That's really sweet.
That's not stupid at all.

[awooligan]

[Embarrassing... Especially since suddenly it’s as if he can feel the heat of her lips on his cheek again and his heart thuds uncomfortably, though not in an entirely bad way.]

maybe
but it definitely feels weird to say

[kept_his_letters]

I guess it's easier when people don't think about it.

[Then again, she'd done that and it had gone very very stupidly.]

[awooligan]

oh yeah?

[Got experience in that, huh? Hmm.

Before he can betray himself by chickening out -- ]

I don't really get to run away when it's a text either

[kept_his_letters]

dfjh sorry!

I was just

embarrassed.

[awooligan]

yeah, don't worry about it

[He says, lowkey worrying about it. Mmmaybe highkey.]

but it wasn't bad
right?

[Or was it embarrassing because it was him...]

[kept_his_letters]

No!
No, it was nice.

It was really nice.

Was it
okay for you?

[awooligan]

duh??

[kept_his_letters]

jdfh
you put question marks!!
What does that mean ?!?

[awooligan]

it means what kind of question is that!
of course it was okay!

[kept_his_letters]

well!
Okay!
Good!
Good.

[She's going to die here.]

[awooligan]

yeah

[Okay! So!

...

......

.........]

what do people say now in situations like this because I don't have a clue

[kept_his_letters]

Um.
I don't know.

[Even Mamá gets flustered when Papá says things.]

I guess we just keep talking the way we have been.
Like friends.

We were talking about the herald, then you coming to visit me, and then you trying to embarrass me.
Which I think I managed on my own.
Has anything else been going on?
