There will plenty of opportunities for her here to cheat on their self-imposed diet!

[empyrean_mirror]

Now you and I both know she's not going to settle for substitutes when the big prize is on the horizon.

[Kaveh hums a little.]

You should probably talk to Lyney before she decides to find out what the hold up is from either of you, Lynette is a very clever and driven young woman.

[And if she starts to get impatient you will WISH it was still only Kaveh bullying you, Heizou.]

[book2thehead]

[He's blushing, though he does manage a little laugh.]

Lyney and I will talk about that sort of thing when we feel like we're ready for it, okay? Not all of us have over ten years of tension best resolved with marriage~

[empyrean_mirror]

We are not a timeline you should be aspiring to, Heizou.

[book2thehead]

Oh, certainly not! But I don't know if only dating for a year is necessarily ideal either~

[empyrean_mirror]

In normal circumstances, maybe not. But if you know, you probably already know, don't you?

[Kaveh shrugs a little.] It's fine if you don't yet, I can't say anything about it. But if I know you, you do know.

[His tone softens a little bit, with clear understanding.]

It's just a little frightening, to reach out for happiness you're not sure you deserve, isn't it?

[book2thehead]

[There's a long pause, and then another one of those laughing sighs. Both resigned and incredulous as Heizou shakes his head.]

Man alive. When did you get so good at reading people? And we're not even standing face to face. Maybe you should come work with Sherlock and I at the agency.

[That's about as close as he'll get to outright admitting that Kaveh's nearly hit the nail on the head. Because it is scary. But it's also more than that, through no fault of Lyney's.]
