[ rose listens carefully, mulling mikleo's words over as he tries to form thoughts into words and taking them all in as much as she can while still pretty intoxicated. judging by how much mikleo is drinking, she has an inkling that he'll be worse off than both sorey and alisha, but hell, she'd need a drink in his position, too. rose doesn't say a word until mikleo looks at her expectantly, holding eye contact before she breathes out and answers. ]
Have I ever wanted to... well, yeah. I've only ever been interested in other girls, and I mean, I wouldn't say I'm all that experienced or anything, but like I said. Yeah, sure I have.
Maybe Zaveid would stop hitting on me if I told him I'm only into ladies, huh?
[ she manages a lighthearted smile, an attempt at easing the tension in the room, but her eyes dart over to alisha, who has slumped over and is using her thigh as a pillow. rose looks back at mikleo so quickly she hardly realizes she glanced at her at all. ]
But love?
[ rose just... outright laughs this time, a very drunk laugh but genuine all the same. what a ridiculous thing to even start to think about. ]
No! Just the idea is too much to even wrap my head around! Yikes.
[ she pauses to collect herself before pressing on. ]
But you know that I'm nothing like you two. The total opposite, more or less. I've spent my life traveling, meeting new people, and I can say that I've never seen anything close to what you and Sorey have. Period. I mean, come on, Mikleo. Think about it. You're practically dating already! You guys have done everything together, haven't you? This is just the next step. A barrier that you still haven't breached.
Sure, I can't speak from experience, but judging by the look on your face, the sudden realization that you've been in love for god knows how long is kind of like getting hit with a sack of bricks. But when you know, you know, and that's all there is to it.
1/3?
