Meanwhile, Aventurine just kind of blinks in surprise, his brows raising a bit, but then he slips his arm in with Essek's as he tugs them back into their walk. ]
Oh...? How did that happen?
[ He maintains a neutral expression and tone, even though he keeps glancing at Essek in slight concern. ]
He isn't sure how he thinks Aventurine will react, but maybe it isn't linking arms and walking again. He isn't sure if the lack of horror makes him feel more like a slut or not either.
A quiet sigh escapes him.]
Childe was going to sleep with Jae-ha, but he... wrote me first? To ask if I cared if he did? And I just... I don't know... I... asked where and when. I was in shock? I think.
[ LACK OF HORROR... Had this been anyone else, Aventurine wouldn't have batted an eyelash at the reveal, but because this is Essek, he's trying to be more careful about this conversation. ]
Well, how was it? Did you have a good time?
[ He can't imagine either Childe or Jae-ha pushing Essek into doing something he wouldn't want to do, so there are no worries there, but this is still a lot. Essek, your virginity... ]

[A useless gripe with no heat. He makes a face and succumbs to the weight of Aventurine's arm and lead.
His vibe is SHI-- and he sort of mildly turns his head in the other direction.]
There isn't anything more to say really...

... You're such a terrible liar.

It's a... [An exhale.] It's a long story. But not really?
[It's complicated. He glances down.]
I slept with Jae-ha and Childe. [...] Together.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I just want to make sure you're okay.
no subject
...I assure you I'm more than okay.
[Wow. Anyway!!!!!!!!!! He looks away, looks back. Seems a bit more serious.]
I think I... [He isn't sure how to say this actually now that he is trying to say it.] I think I feel... very strongly for Childe.
[NOT THIS!!!!!]
no subject
Is that so? [ Metaphorically holding his breath. ] And have you told him this?
no subject
I haven't spoken to him yet...

That's okay. [ He thinks. ] He seems sensible enough. I'm sure he'd give a lot of thought to whatever you'd have to say.
