Dib's PINpoint drops him and Ryan into the Nexus Botanical Gardens. Fortunately it's away from the triffids.

Ryan takes a step back away from Dib, despite his song, worried about the effect his voice may have had on the young teenager but still pleased to see him.  "I haven't seen you in a while," he offers quietly.

"Yeah. Sorry, I was busy..." He can't help but rest a hand on Ryan's shoulder, however. He has to touch him, he just has to, but Dib seems much more sedate now. That's an odd thing that he's just starting to notice himself. He feels better now that he's heard Ryan sing again...

"A-actually, I was a little worried about what you'd say--or I'd say, or what you'd say about what I'd say, or what... uh... y'know what I mean, right?"

Ryan reaches for Dib's other hand, holding it loosely. "I thought you might be." Ryan knows there are things far more important than him out there.

"...Um. Not really. What were you worried you'd say?"

"Just... y'know... how much I, uh... Y-you seem so easy to get worried at stuff and I didn't want to just out and tell you 'cuz I didn't know if it would make you avoid me or something if I told you what I felt about you." He blithers.

"Oh." Ryan squeezes Dib's hand, biting his lip and smiling unsurely. "Well, this is kind of what I do...I mean, what I am. I mean, not that it was..." He shakes his head, frowning. "I'm not saying it right. You wouldn't have scared me off. You aren't scaring me off."
