[He's going to take you to meet Cassian. His only other friend. Well, and Sora, but Sora is a not!son.]
[She's so cute when she's flustered.]
[And then he tries to feel it. Whatever she's doing. ALL HE FEELS IS RELAXED?!]
[Come on now there has to be something more to it!] Chrysalis, don't play around sweetheart, are you actually -- [Wait, she might get upset again. Okay. he does feel very chill. Like... they were having sex and it's the aftermath, but....???] You can take a bit more.
Maybe it's this place? Dampens your strength?
[Aw. AW. He should not be so charmed, but there he is, grinning that she's angry.]
[Even more about not letting him take work home. Not even his daughter would get this protective of him with a random nobody. Gosh.]
Okay. [Gently pets her hair affectionately, and smiles at the hug. Oh wow, he's smiling at hugs. Maybe she's right. Dun dun dun.]
Okay. You can tell me whenever you're comfortable, all right? I didn't tell you everything either. There's just a lot, and sometimes it's awkward. [Kisses the top of her head.]
[And how is BREATHING so easy right now? Shouldn't it be... harder? If she was doing something to his heart, it should definitely be harder. Out of control. But he feels really really relaxed.]
[There's a puzzled expression, as he rubs her shoulder with one hand.]
[He took her hand and put it over his heart.] See how it's not racing? [DEEP BREATH.]
[He debates doing the one thing he most knows will start his heart into overdrive --> trying to run.]
[Except if he has a heart attack in front of her, how embarrassing would THAT be? And she'd be sad. And worse than his ex and daughter about trying to protect him. Probably make him stick to just office work, ick.]
Try again. Let me see if I can-- [Erm what else would start his heart into overdrive? Adrenaline? Short of running --]
[Oh!]
[He did feel kind of... tired?? MAYBE?? Well. Like he didn't want to run. Not really lethargic but --]
[Carver burst out laughing.] Okay, remember when I said I didn't believe in kismet, but then before here, I didn't believe much in anything, right?
[Kisses her hand.] I think what you're eating, if you really are taking as much as you said, and [Boops her nose and plays a finger over her lips, pressing her bottom lip to be all pouty again.] I believe you, all right? I think it's just... the stuff that makes my heart work too much, remember?
[Rubs the back of his neck.] I'll try to check with a real Doctor if you want, to see if that's even possible, but... I shouldn't be able to breathe this easy. Feel this... relaxed, otherwise, I think. [SNORT.] Not that I'm interested in sudden ski trips or running a marathon, it's sort of like... afterglow, but if that's the side effect of what you're doing, I think you'll have a few people other than just me addicted to you.
