Well that's... an awkward way to phrase things.

adamantined March 9 2009, 06:52:47 UTC

But look I took a picture on my phone.

Moving on from awkward subjects about fish, uh, yeah, tacos would be awesome. So would talking about things.

Awkward is like my middle name. Actually, it's not. But I'm sure it's slowly turning out to be as I make a note that I was kind of shiny and adorable that way and I'm taking this better than I think I should be.

feltlikeafreak March 9 2009, 07:06:53 UTC

So. Tacos. I'll go and get my coat that I still need to pay Zach back for.

It could have been worse. You could've been turned into a grub worm or something. Something like a turtle, to finish off the awkward circle. Or make it bigger. I don't know. I'll just stop talking now.

adamantined March 9 2009, 07:11:29 UTC

Don't worry about paying him back right away. Soon you'll be forced to work like the rest of us and then it won't be such an issue and -

Right. Coat. Shoes. I have these things. Meet me in the living room, I guess. It's a good general meeting area.

Stop talking, Claire.

No, all of that totally made sense, Claire. Except not really.

feltlikeafreak March 9 2009, 07:22:13 UTC

You're under eighteen, aren't you? How come you work so much? Saving up for a bigger...crappy apartment?

Awesome. Living room. I'll get dressed and meet you in five.

1/2 adamantined March 9 2009, 07:25:29 UTC

Wow, thank you, I totally feel confident about myself now.

adamantined March 9 2009, 07:26:53 UTC

I could go with the 'it teaches responsibility' speech, but honestly it's more of a way to pass the time. And I like having something that I feel like I earned.

Anyway. I'll see you in five. I'm just, you know, hanging out on the couch.

feltlikeafreak March 9 2009, 07:31:03 UTC

I think you know plenty about responsibility already, actually.

Right-- clothes and talking like real people and not internet people. Gotcha.

I can always stand to learn a little more.

Claire counts herself lucky that she's taken to keeping her jackets and coats in the hallway closet just off the living room as opposed to keeping them in her room like she probably should be doing if she wants to cause less clutter and be more respectful of everyone's space. Running to the hallway closet isn't as tedious or noticeable as running back and forth to her room three times before deciding on what she's going to wear over her t-shirt and jeans, though. Ultimately, she would like to make sure that she doesn't have anything stupid on her face like pen or icing or a crease from laying on the couch all night, but Claire doesn't have time for that, and anyway, she thinks it's ridiculous to be flustered over something so insubstantial as a talk over tacos ( ... )

Alex does almost collide with Claire, raising his eyebrows in an expression that somehow very easily conveys the 'don't attack, I'm innocent copper!' sentiment involved in it. Raising his hands, he then slides a wallet into his back pocket and genially says, "Woah, hey, where's the fire Claire?"

In Alex's room apparently. And admittedly it had taken a few minutes to leave it, because he wanted to put something in his hair to make himself look more dweebtastic, because he really wants Claire to like him. So maybe he's trying to wear a pair of Flattering Jeans he bought along with the small stack of carpenter cut purchased on Zach's dime. He needed a job.

But first he had to explain to Claire. As much as possible. As plainly and honestly as possible. Even if it made things more awkward.

"Actually, you know what, I'm starving too so I can totally understand the rush."

It's a natural instinct to raise one hand and reach out to steady herself, but Claire actually stops before she touches anyone she shouldn't be touching or grabs anything that she shouldn't be grabbing. Her situation isn't helped by the fact that she already has one hand braced on the wall, and Claire feels her face starting to turn pink in a way that is decidedly not flattering.

"I'm pretty sure you were the one talking about volcanoes just a little bit ago with Zach." Not that he was actually talking about literal volcanoes, but Claire is hard pressed to care in situations that leave her feeling a little stupid and weirdly embarrassed ( ... )
