You tell Primus that he’s got this, and that he should just focus on being himself- he’s the one on a date, not you. You can tell him about Earth’s angels sometime, but for now, spend this moment together. Just keep asking questions and share what you think is coolest too!

Primus asks why Lover thinks those are the coolest- they do sound pretty exciting, but kinda scary as well! Lover shrugs in response. If there weren’t any scary things, then the comfy ones wouldn’t have as much impact, yeah? For every hellish beast out there, there’s a nice warm couch safe and sound, far away from them. Makes them think, really.

Your tent type fidgets, working up the courage to ask whether Lover would like to hear his favorite things. Of course, my dude, that’s what this is all about. Lover gives him a playful but gentle arm punch. Give me all you got.

Primus makes a motion as if taking a deep breath, trying not to burst out into excited yammering. He’s been reading this book called Treasure Island lately, and he thinks that a boat adventure would be super cool! He’s never actually seen the ocean, but Bryce says that there’s one over by his god’s base, and he’s been so so so hyped up to go visit sometime.

Hey, maybe the next time they go for a date, they can go to the beach, yeah? So long as, yknow, things work out. Primus nods with enthusiasm. He watches as Lover’s marker and whiteboard disappear with a flick of his wrist, tilting his head slightly. How are they doing that? He’s seen you do that, but never another TCP.

Lover laughs, materializing a puff of confetti and glitter before letting it fade. That, their dear canvas friend, is a secret. As well as this date is going, they’re still on opposite sides of the battlefield. Tell him what, though- if things shake out, they’ll be sure to show him everything.
