[he's facedown in his folded arms, so that's muffled, but he lifts his head enough to speak properly afterwards.]
So- he asked me out for tea, and then he asked if he could confess to one of us and have it count, and I told him I didn't know but I would listen if he had anything he needed to get out, right? And he said, um-- that I'm cute, but we're not compatible long-term. Totally unprompted. So, I-- you know, like an idiot, I asked-- why.
[...he exhales a slow breath.]
And that answer was that he fell for someone else, and that my attitude toward death is too creepy for him. Which I think is more or less 'you're too weird', it's not-- I can't just shut that off. It's how I am.
Don't say that. There are hot, single immortals out there! You just haven't met them yet.
[Look. Listen. Immortality can be great if you think about having thousands of year to do everything you want.]
Well... I wasn't there to judge the conversation myself. Plus, telling someone they're not your type is common. Explaining why, though, in those words, seems a little... like overkill? I don't think you're in the wrong for feeling upset, anyway.
They definitely do not seem to exist where I come from.
[it sucks! it sucks. this is the least isolated he's been-- ever, and it's still like this.]
Also, do you go up to people and tell them they're not your type without them even saying they like you? I knew he was too normal to like me, that's exactly why I didn't.

That's such a terrible thing to say! And never mind I spoke to him, too, and we did the friend version of a confession. Totally unnecessary.
[Omi is so lucky to be dead, because there is murder in her eyes.]
Shit, I'm so sorry. If he thought your best fucking self is "creepy," [finger quotes] then he wasn't good enough for you. What a dick!

[so many perfectly good turns of phrase, ruined by immortality.]
...thanks, though. I kind of felt like-- I didn't know if I was overreacting, he seemed to feel like it was a totally reasonable conversation.

[Someone please save Envy. Jesus.]
Uh... I'm going with no. Why would you reject someone who hasn't even confessed to you? You have to be really full of yourself.

[it has absolutely not been for a lack of boys that he likes, okay.]
But okay, good, that's-- I was like, why even tell me this! At least it's not just me.

[Being into someone doesn't mean they are right for you? Come on, Envy.]
It's not just you at all. I'm sorry you had to sit through that.
no subject
[a slight huff. look, he is but one envy and he can only do so much about his own bad taste.]
...thanks, though. I- kind of needed to hear all of that.

[She still thinks a bigger dating pool would be nice, though? Sir.]
You're welcome. You know, I'm always a text away if you need to talk to someone.
