Wingmanning. Full pun intended.

[selfdissecting]

[ oh

my

elder

god ]

No! [ her cheeks are turning a splotchy purple-pink ] I am not going to mess up someone else's life, I am not giving Vesper and Phosphor a reason to look a second time at anyone else who works here, there is nothing and no one to wingman for—

[excontractu]

Then I'll leave it alone.

But I bet he's a good kisser.

[selfdissecting]

[ actually for real picks the stress ball up off his desk and throws it at him

badly ]

You are free to find out!!

[excontractu]

Don't throw things . . . this is an office . . .

[selfdissecting]

[ it bounces off the wall and lands sadly on the floor and Maeve is left standing there looking mortified ]

You are a demon man.

[ gurl be less dramatique ]

[excontractu]

Woooooow. I told you I'd leave it alone.

[selfdissecting]

[ ducks their head, unconsciously pressing the thumb of a non-dominant hand to their lip. it's in their head now, Ceciliano kissing Pascal, kissing them, filling the spaces between thoughts ]

...I really can't...

[excontractu]

Can't what.

[selfdissecting]

[ can't form relationships ]

You have me thinking about it now, Pascal!! Aasimar are really... too much...

[excontractu]

He's just a big stuffed animal. Big pigeon. Don't be intimidated.

[selfdissecting]

Pascal!

[excontractu]

Stop yelling at me!! I'm being supportive!!

[selfdissecting]

[ hands in their hair ]

Don't look so pleased with yourself. Oh... no....

[ still purple-pink, actually really purple-pink now ]

[excontractu]

Believe me, I'm not pleased with myself.

[selfdissecting]

[ that does the work of breaking through, somewhat ]

...mn. Right.

[excontractu]

Anyway . . .

Ceciliano's not stupid. He's going to figure it out.

[selfdissecting]

[ two corporate employees who would rather die than talk about themselves ]

There is nothing to figure out. I am not going to do anything and I am not going to say anything. He is like everyone else here. We just work together sometimes.

[excontractu]

You have a lot to gain.

[selfdissecting]

[ and everything to lose ]

I am not right for people. I can't.

[excontractu]

I'm not going to argue with you about yourself. But I think you should keep an open mind.

[selfdissecting]

[ Maeve keeps their heart on their sleeve and people keep taking little pieces of it with them when they leave. ]

...do you want a coffee?

[excontractu]

Okay.

[selfdissecting]

[ alright. gathering up the paperwork, then, and straightening it properly before heading to the door. they open it just a little at first, peeking out ]

I think everyone else has gone home. I need to clean the break room... After coffee.

[excontractu]

Okay. I already did the dishes earlier with Yves. But maybe there's some old stuff in the fridge you can throw out.
