I am not sure. We barely know each other... but I think he... she... it...

[STOP ABUSING ELLIPSES EQUIUS AND BE A MAN!]

I think that he has professed romantic interest in me, and I am unsure how to respond, as the insinuation was exceedingly perverse and wrong-headed.

Uhmmmm...

I think you need to explain a bit more in detail before I can help.

Err... I ...

[This is easier, Equius. Just send her a link to the to the conversation in question.]

I do not understand what happened here.

[Short version: Kaworu happened and Equius overreacted, a lot. Admittedly, there are some definitely translational issues at work.]

[Wow, Nepeta's head hurts just reading that.]

I...really don't think that they're expressing a romantic interest, Equius! I think they were just being friendly. And possibly a little weird, but maybe that's just because they're not a troll.

[His head hurt talking to Kaworu, so they were even?]

But he ... she ... it isn't human either, and it seemed to understand or at least claimed to when I tried to explain to it what it was doing wrong mixing black and red.

That was a lot more than friendly, and very odd.

Have you spoken to them a lot before? I feel like I'm missing something! [Nepeta really is having trouble deciphering Kaworu's intentions here. She's still not sure that it isn't a case of Equius simply misunderstanding something...

But the conversation really was decidedly strange.]

Only two times. He butted in to ask about my rage over the Highblood. It was why I am so confused. It is so forward, like they have a crush, and yet it is so very inappropriate and odd how they speak of such things.

...

I could be reading much in, but they seem to crave a connection.

Well, I think the best you can do is probably try to talk to them some more! Maybe they're just curious, or perhaps they want to be friends and this is their way of showing it. But if they do have a crush on you, talking more would help you understand that too!

[Nepeta... he's giving you the sort of plaintive look of 'do I have to?' However, he is taking your advice it seems.]

Yes, that seems perhaps the logical choice, but ... is it even appropriate for me to consider an overture? What about Aradia?

Well, it's not really an overture - more friendliness and trying to figure out where things stand!

[Yes, he does have to.]

...is something going on between you and Aradia?

Maybe, I don't know... she does not really continue the overtures from when we knew each other before, but she rarely speaks of romantic notions.

...

I do not really understand her that well, Nepeta. It infuriates me at times.

How do you feel about her?

... I do not know. She is a lowblood who does not behave like a lowblood, and even if I am recognizing that worrying too much over the hemospectrum is not necessarily wise or appropriate, it is hard not to be struck by the raw scandal of nobility in the company of rustbloods, and yet she is meant for greater things and only the questionable oddity of her blood was a limiter in the potential. After all, don't you remember the beauty of her rages when blue blood flowed properly through her veins?

[You're babbling, Equius.]

Equius. I know it's still a bit hard for you not to think of the hemospectrum completely, but think of it this way. We died, and this place was good enough to bring us to life again, and bring Aradia here. It's a tiny, tiny chance that it could happen but it did, and it's not something that should be wasted. She gets angry no matter if her blood runs rust or blue! She's the same troll!

[He grunted and sighed.]

I am aware. It is the things that re not related to her blood that I find the most fascinating. I am... I do not know how to express this. When I see her get angry it does strange things to me. I enjoy her rages, rare as they are.

I think it sounds like you have a worse crush on her than ever, Equius.

No worse than ever, but is it a bad thing to have a crush on the Maid? It is not as if she has ceased being the person I had a fascination for before, is it?

It's not! I just meant you feel even more for her. And I really like Aradia, she's a pawesome troll. Just try and treat her like one! Don't talk about blood colours with her. Ask her over to do something with her that she'll enjoy.

I try not to mention such things when speaking with her at the very least. But... what do I do if I have interest in her, and this one also has one in me?

This is not exactly something I know how to handle well!

You don't know this person very well though - just because they're interested in you doesn't mean you have to reciprocate it unless you feel the same way! But with Aradia you know very well how you feel.

Agreed. There is that, though... do you think Aradia truly returns my feelings? She did show such a devastating display for me once, but I do not know sometimes...

I can't say, I've never spoken to her about it. If you like her so very much you should do something nice for her to prove it! And see if she's okay with that or not, and take it from there.

And no speeches about the worthiness of one blood colour over another to her, or I'll punch you myself this time.

No, no speeches. However, if there is one thing that is a little infuriating...

She does not always seem to notice advances.

[Well, to be honest, that's partially because he's creepy, confusing and forward in odd ways and has no concept of what flirting is supposed to be like.]

Uhm...

Equius, you're my moirail and I love you very, very much, but well, I still have to say that the problem is purrobably that you need a bit of practice when it comes to making advances. Normal ones, that she'd be able to understand.

...

eheh...

I would love to argue with that. I really would.

[Note: He wasn't.]
