Thang..

🎤: The only credit I'm taking is saying it was good 😌

🎤: I could start talking about Tataki and no one would understand except for one other person Just know I think it's very very awesome 👍

( Sparks chuckles. ) Well I won't turn down the offer if it's there. Is that too forward? Cod, maybe I AM clingy...

W-What? Clingy??? That's not being clingy! People use that phrase in non-clingy ways ALL the time you know! I... w-whatever.💧 . . . ...You can do that?

It's good that you're getting work but... ugh. Can't I steal you from Annaki for a tiny bit longer? The last set came out REALLY well in my opinion, so I already know you'll be just as great. Have I said that before? I might've... Anyway uh... the date's up to you! I'm good whenever, so yeah.

Ha, that's only because you deal with foolish people all the time, but... thanks. So I suppose we have to plan out this sleepover now. Did you have a day in mind?

Y-You weren't supposed to notice... but I guess it's good that you did? ...As long as you don't think I'm lame for that..!

Oh. Oh wait really?! I'd lovUHHH I'd uh... I would be chill with that, yeah.

You wouldn't... want me to sleep over... would you...

And how did you come to that conclusion? You have zero clue how I sleep. I sleep normally. Like everyone else. And you can't prove otherwise, Sash~♪

A big nap after a big work session! ..No I don't actually curl up I swear—

Think I'd be more like this.

( Sashi... Captain... 💭 )

“W-Would you want to?! Yes, of course you can!” Taking her hand, she looks very excited. Even her tentacles seem happy. “It um... might be boring to you, but I'll show you what I have.”

“I mean... I always miss you when you're not around. So uh, yes?" Rubbing her neck. Was that too honest? “Oh! Um, I have! I've got multiple projects ongoing right now, and I'm making very good progress. Feels like I'm working most of the day now.”

Oh! She knows that voice! “Sashi, hello! What a welcome surprise!”

Working on stuff is nice, but it's a bit boring today... kinda lonely. Is anyone around I wonder?

🎤: My goodness oomf you cooked

So they don't like the bat eyebrows but have bat tattoos...

I'm probably a lesbian but I don't have time to think about that right now I have machines to build

\\ 🥺✨️

She chuckles, a little bashful that she was missed. It's not like she's THAT special or anything... “I suppose... though wouldn't it be weird to have magazines of a friend I can see in person? It's not like professional pictures can capture the same Sashi that I know...”

“Mmm.. ok.” Once her tentacles backed off from the hug, she did as well. She clears her throat and adjusts her glasses in her own awkward manner, trying not to let embarrassment get to her. “It's um... really cool that you're back. Makes all that waiting worth it.”

Resting her chin on their shoulder, Sparks holds her just a bit tighter. The thought of letting go seemed so scary, like it'd be the last one she'd ever get from Sashi. “... Thanks Sash. You're um, pretty good at hugging by the way.”

“ . . . ” This is one of the few times Sparks wasn't so easy to read. Was she mad? Happy? Upset? She huffs... then follows it up by smothering Sashi with a hug. Her tentacles are glued to them. “Just... promise you'll give me a call or something next time? I missed you, y'know.”

“...I figured that, too.” She sighs, looking off to the side. Her tentacle tense up as she does. “But I still couldn't help but wonder about how you were... out of curiosity, and... maybe a few other things.” The tip of her tentacles curl just enough upwards to be noticed.

“Yeah, it has. Was starting to worry about you until I found out you were doing modeling for Annaki, then I figured you were doing fine.”

Relax, I've been up...

Oohgvf

Is???? That good?????

Wh What does this mean

Hashtag Sparks Sunday or whatever..

I will not be participating in this Sunday hashtag.

W-Well...... what in particular? I mean you just... I-I'm not sure words would do you any justice. Everything about you... how your tentacle looks like a heart, the way your smile just melts me away, and your eyes... I want to stare at them as much as physically possible.

[ As Sashi moves them, her tentacles ever so gently cling to their hand. They want to wrap all the way around but this is as far as they're getting. ] Not to make it a competition but.. you're pretty to me, too. And that's not just because you look good. It's a bonus. Big bonus... n-nevermind...

I-If you wish to do so, I won't necessarily... er— w-well um..! What I'm trying to say is... is... [ Clearing her throat. Turning her brain back on before finishing her thought. ] I wouldn't mind that if it came from you.

Oh you didn't need to compliment me... it's not a transactional thing, you know. [ She smiles back. ]

[ Bashfully fiddling around with her fingers. ] Just. Wanted to make sure you know. Because you are gorgeous. And you should know that.

H-Hey, Sashi... um. Hi. 💦

You forgot other.
