Alright.

[ Fine by him, since he doesn't really have any strong feelings about this after just one week anyway, and if they're both willing anyway... ]

[singurarity]

You didn't have any preferences in mind yet, right? For you?

[ Just to check. ]

[counton]

[ Having had a chance to meet everyone so far, he's got some sense of what they're all like, but... ]

I know who I definitely don't want to be matched with.

[ No, not really. ]

[singurarity]

... Well! That's still something!

[ Good job, Lessing!! ]

[counton]

Sure. Some people don't exactly make it hard to figure out that much.

[ The terrible trio... ]

[singurarity]

[ This poor guy. ]

I'm sorry. I think you're great, for the record.

[counton]

[ One ear tilts back as he gives her a confused look. He hadn't been meaning that in a self-pitying way. ]

Thanks?

[singurarity]

[ She's aware!! But she's still mad Steve called him a freak of nature! ]

Just so you know!

[counton]

[ She'll be glad to know that Steve is on his list of "no"s, and was even before that. ]

You don't have to worry about saying these kinds of things to me. I'm used to receiving more insults than compliments anyway.

[ This is meant to be reassuring.

.... Is she reassured? ]

[singurarity]

[ No?????? ]

... Sorry, but no. We're going to have to reverse that.

[counton]

You really don't have to.

[ He's not sure he's going to be comfortable with too much complimenting. It's weird. He's used to being around cranky assholes. ]

[singurarity]

One thing you'll learn about me--I don't really do anything because I have to do it.

[ This included. ]

So pick your poison--once a day or once a week.

[counton]

Once a week.

[ Immediate answer. The longest amount of time apart from them as possible. ]

[singurarity]

Got it. You get a breather until next week, then!

[ Ritsuka about to add herself to the list of problem children-- ]

[counton]

[ She's still ok until she starts trying to eat his horns.

He is still going to sigh a little at that threat promise. ]

[makeine]

Like who, Lessing-san?

[ like she's not one of the problem children here ]

[counton]

[ Don't worry, he will name all their asses. ]

Steve and Maomao, and at the moment I'm not sure either Asa or I would be thrilled to be paired up.

[ Anna is not one of the problem children. ]

[makeine]

[ SHE'S NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

Mii-chan only seems like she's a hard to please girl. [ out here airing her bestie's laundry. ] Steve-kun's pretty uncouth, and Maomao-san...

[ ... ]

She's an awfully mature woman for her age.

[ said with a touch of distance. she's heard somethings, lessing. learned some things she can't unlearn. ]

[counton]

She refused to look at me for the better part of our first conversation.

[ Seems more than hard to please. ]

Steve is obnoxious and made some weirdly sexual comments about my horns, which is still better than Maomao, who wants to turn them into medicine.

[meowdicine]

[ hearing this and just thinking that's fair, but also can you really blame her..................... ]

[counton]

[ He can and he will. ]

[makeine]

Mii-chan and I argued and threw cake at each other. Now we're besties.

[ there's hope!!!!!!!!!!! ]

But the other two definitely sound like they're hopeless cases... It's good you know who's probably not matching at all with you, though! That cuts it down!

[counton]

[ He's actually nodding at that like it makes sense to him. ]

I get it, I've attacked my friend on more than one occasion when he was annoying me.

[ Once with a sword. Don't worry about that. ]

It does make it a little easier.
