[It's in writing, so it will last forever. Heheheheh.]
I see. That you didn't feel like yourself till now wasn't good, but I'm glad you're better.
[Donnie, you already said that.]
Are you up for seeing anyone now or do you need to still rest?
[He might be considering trying to drive to Hill House to come visit, don't let this slime drive.]

[His bad ideas are a mystery to her.]
I'm okay now.
[She's a little tired, since she went to work and everything today, but he doesn't need to worry over her any more than he already has. Plus, even if she had been looking forward to resting, seeing him...doesn't sound so bad. It might sound nice, actually. Hm.]

[Excuse you, his ideas are always good ones.]
That's not a yes or no, you know?
[Honestly he'd like to see her, but if she isn't feeling it he is fine with staying put and not bothering her. All she has to do is say so.]

You gotta give it a chance at least, Ray.
also, lbr, Donnie will probably wanna do something else entirely with just you, so, you two got that going on.

Yep.
Oh.
[...Stressful, with spores making it harder to keep control over her emotions.]
Is that normal?
[Should she be trying to do something with just Donnie for her birthday...?]

No idea! I've never dated anyone before. I kinda assumed you guys would wanna hang out on your own eventually though.
Right...
[Right, none of them have ever dated anyone. Until now. Apparently. Doing the...dating thing. God. She's doing it wrong immediately?]
Sorry
[Right, none of them have ever dated anyone. Until now. Apparently. Doing the...dating thing. God. She's doing it wrong immediately?]
Sorry
[It takes her a couple rereads to realize, hm, it kind of isn't! Easily fixed.]
Yes, I am. I'd like getting to see you.
We could meet in the Arcade? That might be easiest.

Why u apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong.
Why u apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong.
[She's doing this wrong, too. She goes to type an apology again before forcing herself to stop and think. How does she fix it?
...What exactly is she fixing?]
I'm not sure.
I'm having trouble
figuring it out
I didn't want you to be mad.

I didn't want you to be mad.
Okay, lets work backwards here.
I'm not gonna be mad. I just want to help you figure out what you're feeling right now.

Okay.
[She can trust Leo -- not only is he a monster that can't lie, he's her brother. If he was going to be mad, surely he'd tell her. Why is she still worried he's going to get mad?
It takes her a while to get something else out, and even then she doesn't think it's helpful. It's just...what she's feeling, which is what Leo is looking for. Can't keep him waiting any longer.]
I'm doing everything wrong.
No
I mean I'm afraid?

Its okay to be afraid, I mean. This is a big first. Relationships seem kinda like a lot of work? idk.
I don't think you're doing anything wrong. You're trying your best, that's all any of us can really do here.

[Right. Yeah. Yeah! He's right. Donnie even told her that it's okay if she messes up, and he didn't really expect "normal".
...Except this isn't helping? It should be helping. He won't get mad. Neither of them are going to get mad and leave her. They're hers -- her brother and her boyfriend. They're so good.]
I don^T know why I'm crying.

[Oouhgh boy, that isn't what he intended to do.]
Is this a good cry or a bad cry?
Also you know, emotions are pretty complicated and all knotted together.

I don't know
I think bad?
I'm sorr
Hold on
[Just gonna sob for a little bit, see if that helps. It kind of does, kind of doesn't. It at least helps to lessen some of the panic she'd suddenly been overwhelmed by, which gives her more room to think logical thoughts.]
I'm fine, this is just spores.
Mr. Holmes was yelling before, too.

Okay, take your time. I'll be here.
[He is a patient sort of turtle when the time calls for it. He's lucked out in not sprouting anything, not many other people can say that.]
Lets mutually agree fungi are bastards.
Weird, I can't picture him yelling. Was he yelling at you? Do you want me to beat him up a little?

No, not at me.
I don't think he meant it.
[Not because he didn't get annoyed with his imaginary friend Jon, or anything, but because interacting with him so openly, especially with interns around, wasn't really something he'd...do... He kind of valued being perceived as having his faculties secure.]
We're probably both infected. Not being able to control your emotions must be one of the symptoms.

It would be, but also I am willing to come to your place. I can drive there after all!
[He wants her to be comfortable, and the Arcade is kind of, well... The Arcade.]
[He wants her to be comfortable, and the Arcade is kind of, well... The Arcade.]
No, you're not driving here.
[For more reasons than she cares to admit...which is why she's going to deflect with a suggestion! And a potential hook for rambling.]
You know that if we meet there and then I bring you with me when I open the door back, we'll both be over here, right? Then I can open the door again and you'll go back to where you entered by opening your own door.
It's a little like a wormhole, I think? I don't know much about wormholes.

Oh.
[He might be pouting a little on his end, they stole and car and it barely gets any use what with everyone in the house usually being able to fly.
As to the hook, well...]
You're thinking correctly with wormholes, although they exist mainly to shorten very large distances than what we'd be doing. Also not in space.

[It was a bonding experience.]
It's a large enough distance to be inconvenient.

I guess so, it's not like light years distance though which is what wormholes cover, or shorten at least.
