I've been practicing for hours and I just can't seem to get it right! It's so frustrating! pulls away from the hug and starts pacing
Banary
oh so this is why you’ve been late for our dates
stops pacing Y-Yeah, I guess... I just wanted to be really good at it, y'know? But... maybe I'm taking it too seriously.
Banary
maybe you should take a break from it
nods slowly Yeah, maybe you're right. It's just... I don't know how to stop obsessing over it, you know?
Banary
hey we could do something else together
smiles softly Like what? Maybe watching a movie or playing a different game? Something not quite so stressful?
Banary

Great! grabs a blanket, pillows, and snacks from the kitchen You get comfortable while I set everything up on the TV.
Banary
