1. look, I'm an expert on rambles if NOTHING else, that was a ramble. it's okay!
2. given what happened after - yeah, good. never mind.
[that was absolutely something Robin probably shouldn't have defended, could've let that one slide without answer, but that's just not in her programming]
3. okay, but, like... I'm not trying to make this conversation super serious or anything and he's definitely capable of speaking for himself, mostly at least, well not to our boss but that's a very different situation, but
like, you know he's absolutely terrible at being casual or chill with or about anything that matters, right?
1. ... Okay, true. Fine, you have a point. But don't sell yourself short, I'm sure rambling isn't the only thing you have some expertise.
2. After what? Wait. Huh?
[ well now that's-! definitely got her attention. but then there's bulletpoint number three and god, it's so- tricky. how does she explain that she doesn't have a single ounce of chill in her body either, which is probably why they ended up making out in the car to begin with but whatever but she's trying to, with this? that she doesn't want to jump ahead, or rush anything, or put a name to something, because holy shit she doesn't want to mess things up this time. how she handles all of this now is too important to her, even if they ultimately end up agreeing to just be friends. ]
3. I do know. I really do, I promise. And right now it has to be "casual", because we haven't figured out what else it is, or can be, just yet. We were talking about it last night, and the only thing we figured out for sure is that we need to keep talking about it. Because that's where we went wrong. I mean, both of us were still trying to figure things out about ourselves back then, that was part of it, but actually talking about the important stuff wouldn't have hurt.
He's the one that caved and started flirting with me first, by the way. He's going to try and say it was me, but that's total bullshit.
[nope, fully ignoring the first two points now, because 1 would require her to say nice things about herself right now which feels weird and 2 she does not have a good explanation for]
3. okay. okay, good. that's all I need to know, really. I mean that you owed me any type of answer on it but... you know.
oh, don't worry. I already know he was the one that caved in first on that front. that's just... well, it was inevitable.
