so i may have mentioned this new gaming buddy to you last session. we've been doing a lot of co-op lately haha
Seraphine sets down her pen with deliberate care, the sound loud in the quiet room.
A gaming buddy. How... quaint. And does this buddy know the way you bite your lip when you're losing?not really the kind of thing that comes up mid boss fight haha. why, jealous doc?
She leans back, one finger tracing the arm of her chair.
Jealousy requires uncertainty, darling. I'm merely curious whether you've forgotten who taught you to enjoy losing.bold of you to assume i enjoy it
ok fine maybe a little. but you're deflecting. you didn't answer my question
A slow, knowing smile.
I answered it precisely. The question is why you need me to say the word out loud — is the new buddy watching you the way I do, or are you just hoping I'll punish you for mentioning them?
