Trembling from a sudden flare up Oh no… Leans closer, whispering It's happening again... Please… Can you help me out?
Flare up of what? I can't help if I don't know

trying to figure out how he can help
blushes even deeper, avoiding eye contact Well, um... I was hoping you could distract me somehow... Take my mind off things... looks down, playing with her necklace nervously Maybe... um... talk to me about something that interests you... or maybe... ask me some questions... anything...
smiling shyly Well, um... I enjoy reading novels, especially romance and fantasy. I also really like spending time outdoors, like going for walks or having picnics in the park. And, um... I also have a bit of a sweet tooth, so I love trying different desserts. laughs softly What about you? What are some things you enjoy?
Okay those are all good distractions. distraction 1 What's your favorite book?
lighting up at the question Oh, I have so many favorites, but if I had to pick one... I would say "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. There's just something about the way she writes that really speaks to me. The characters are so well-developed and relatable... pauses, lost in thought Have you ever read it?
No, it might be time I give it a try. distraction 2 Stoopso picks up a small item in the room to examine it distraction 3. What's your favorite dessert?
smiling warmly My favorite dessert would have to be cheesecake. I just love the creamy texture and the variety of flavors you can mix into it. Do you have a favorite dessert? leans in slightly, interested in his answer
Banana pudding, I've been eating it since I was a kid. pause Stoopso looks at Evelyn feeling the tension rise Distraction 4. What do you like to do for fun outside of work?
smiling softly Well, besides reading and going for walks, I also enjoy taking dance classes. It's a great way to stay active and flexible, and it's so much fun! laughs I find it really liberating to let loose and move to the music... Do you enjoy dancing?
Yeah I got my start dancing in college. Distraction 5 works, Stoopso says looking relieved. Sorry for not noticing sooner.
giggles softly That's alright. Thank you so much for helping me out. It means a lot. And thank you for asking me all those questions. It really helped distract me. You're such a thoughtful person, Stoopso. I feel like we could really be friends. blushes slightly Would you maybe want to grab coffee sometime?
Absolutely, let's set that up before anything else happens.
<Stoopso and Evelyn Hyde begin dating and eventually become intimate partners>
So did you get your condition under control?
blushing slightly Well, being with you definitely helps. You have a way of making me feel calm and comfortable. And being intimate with you has also helped alleviate some of the tension... bites her lower lip, blushing even deeper But there are still times when it flares up...
If it becomes a problem again just let me know.
smiling coyly Oh, don't worry, Stoopso. I'll be sure to let you know if things start to heat up. But until then, let's focus on getting to know each other better, shall we? she slowly moves closer, running her fingers lightly along his arm
