[ She's been trying to unlock the mysteries of makeup. Not that she wants to impress anyone or anything, but she figured Lenny would have comments about it if she doesn't wash her face first. ]
[He's not weird enough to actually be lurking outside their room like a weirdo though right? Maya cracks her door open just slightly and peeks, all full of smoky eyeshadows and fire engine lips and she's not sure if it's working but that's why we do these things in private.]
[Not especially weird, he's just heading up to meet her, it's not as if he's been standing there the whole time. But that does mean that he's just walking down the hallway in time to get a good look at her face and his eyebrows go up a little.]
[NOPE SHE IS NOT DIGNIFYING THAT WITH A RESPONSE. Lenny can wait like a proper gentleman until she's scrubbed her face a bit. There's still a hint of pigment at her eyes and mouth when she returns to the door, (who decided "waterproof" should also mean "stays on your face even when you want it to be gone"??) but not quite the explosion there'd been earlier.]
Okay. So. You're here now.
[And they can pretend nothing happened immediately before this right?]
[He nods, not actually commenting on that any more. He sees little reason to tease her over that, it's a learning by doing kind of thing and she's growing up. She can paint her face any which way she wants, even if he couldn't quite keep himself from commenting before.
Instead, moving on. For now.]
I won't let you get caught in the middle again, Maya.

So yeah we hung out. He's cool. So what?

I'm sorry you had to deal with telling him.
Re: text;

[ is he pumping her for information? ]

Re: text;
That.

You okay, princess?
Re: text;

Don't know. I know I ain't.
You in your room?

[Oh no, he has been there. But a wise decision, or he might wonder if maybe, just maybe, there was someone to impress.]

Huh.
Might wanna tone it down a nudge.

I told you Girl Stuff!

[This is so not what this is about, but if there's door-slamming and shouting to be had, he's gonna join right in.]

no subject
Caught in the middle of what?
no subject
Between Mick and me.
no subject
I wasn't worried. Best friends fight sometimes, but it never sticks.
no subject
That's heavy stuff and I should've handled it.
no subject
It kind of just happened. He deserved to know it anyway.
no subject
[He lifts his shoulders in a shrug.] Haven't exactly found a good way to tell anyone yet.
