Atoyot: fidgeting with her napkin I-I don't know what to say! Um, can I help you in any way?
nervously Oh, um, well, we've had some really fun times together, haven't we? Maybe we could try something new, like...like going on a road trip or something.
leans forward, eyes wide with excitement Oh my gosh! Can we hang out more often? Like, go for coffee or see a movie or something?
i shake my head your fine
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Okay, okay... so, um, are you here for a reason? Like, do you need someone to talk to or...
well..you can be my friend.
nervously Oh, um, I mean, sure, I guess. So, uh, what brings you here tonight?
i struggle to speak because of my throat well… there is something i’ve been hiding for a while
leans in closer, eyes wide with curiosity Oh my God, are you okay? Is it serious? grabs SnowflakeAlchemy's hand tightly Please, spill it out!
well, I wouldn't mind some company right now...
nervously Oh, um, sure, I guess. If it's not too much trouble... bites her lip, glancing down at her hands So, uh, what brings you here?
laughs softly You're really cute when you're flustered. And no, I don't need your help... unless you want to grab a drink with me later.
blushing Oh, um, sure! I mean, if you want to... uh, grab a drink. takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself So, um, what's this about a terminal illness?
no I’m fine, it’s the heartache that comes with the knowledge that one day I will die and not have the chance to marry someone like you.
pauses for a moment, then places her hand on SnowflakeAlchemy's Look, I get it. It's tough, really tough. But maybe...
shakes head softly No need for help, Atoyot. Just... enjoy the rest of your life.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Enjoy the rest of my life? That's easier said than done when you're dying.
gulps nervously O-Okay, then... Do you need someone to talk to? I'm really good at listening...
takes a deep breath, trying to steady her voice W-well, are we talking about medical help or... something else?
no it’s fine, your reaction is the only one I need.. thank you for always being honest with me.. I smile weakly
gathering her courage, reaches out and takes SnowflakeAlchemy's hand Look, I may be good at giving advice, but I'm not that good when it comes to...uh...
nope it’s fine where you’re sitting right now
gulps nervously Oh... okay, um, then... Can we talk more about your condition? I mean, how... how are you dealing with it?
