"Ha. And his opinion does count for something I hear," SHe nods "He's a decent guy, Colton. He's not too pushy I hope?"

A deep breath and a bit of a blush. "I think...just pushy enough."

A smile "We do get offended if they dont... you know, try just a little don't we?"

She bites her lip, then smiles. "You're not recording stuff for my Dad, are you?"

"With the stuff you've got on ME? Talk sense, woman" A smile though

A bit of a laugh. "Point. Okay...yeah...I may be shallow as hell, but I like when he wants...."

"Come on, even our moms like it when our dads ..wait, don't want to think about that. The point is, it's normal"

A wince. "Yeah, let's not invoke parental images in this."

"Sorry" She says then adds, "I do miss Bancroft. I haven't gone on about him too much have I? I worry I'm a glum gus now"

"No, not too much. I mean, it's understandable." A pause. "You're still waiting, holding off on getting involved with anybody else?"

"Yeah" She admits "I know it's been over a month but... it just feels..dishonorable. Kissing a guy while I think of Bancroft? I mean... seems dishonorable to me anyway"

Sylvi's quiet for a long moment. "You could always let them know. Tell them you're getting over a break-up and still thinking of the guy. Then at least they know what's going on in your head. Then it's not dishonorable."

"I ..yeah. I guess. But no one is really catching my eye. Adam is cute, and his cockiness is offset by that confused faun thing he's got going on... but no... i mean... Dagmar would be crushed, and for what? For me to use him as a stepping stone to get 'back in the game'? Some cousin I'd be there"

"Well, also...he's not exactly boyfriend material. He's after every girl he sees, seems like. I mean, even with all the 'huge' comments, he's given Dagmar the eye a couple of times, I think."

"Yeah... he's still new to this world, so maybe his control is shot but ... I hear you. A girl wants a guy who wows when SHE walks by, not when ANY girl goes by. " A smirk "Like how Colton hangs about with Sidhe... and somehow doesn't blink... then goes texting you ? You trained him well" Wryly "Yeah, you're right. Of dcourse, I DO enjoy flirting wildly... or used to." Mmph "Must be maturing. That sucks."

Another pleased blush. "Maybe he looks, I don't know, but he totally does text me after." A happy sigh. "Gonna see him sometime in the next couple of days." Then a glance at the driver. "Maybe you should do a little flirting again. Sort of ease into it?"

"You know a nice target? " Amused look

"Hmmm....well, plenty of mortal boys at school, but I don't know if you're into them."

"You mean my secret Sidhe Fetish, the shame of my family" A wink

"Wellllll...." Sylvi shrugs. "I mean...they're so short."

"Bancroft wasn't short where it counted"

"oops" As that slipped

EYES WIDE. "Wowwwwww!"

"Yeah well.... YOU Brought size into it"

"Yeah, but...." She trails off awkwardly.

"I know i know.. " A sheepish look, "sometimes tact and I are strangers. Maybe I'm defending him a bit. Yes, most sidhe are shorter than us..okay, all sidhe by at least a little. But they're nice to... just bask into. Dangerous I know. Still, why limit myself to trolls and giraffe pooka? " A grin

"Ha! Well...I'm pretty sure your folks would be shocked if you did a dating tour of all the kiths."

"Oh..now that sounds like a dare" intrigued

"Oh, come on....that's not what I mean!" Then a giggle. "I can't see you with a boggan."

"Me neither, but hey, maybe Lucia has a taller than avearge cousin?"

"Or maybe he'll be tall where it counts...." she mutters.

Decency to blush achieved

"Fiend"

"Wench."

Smiling.

"Prima trolla" A grin

"Hey!" A false-pout. Siv has apparently won.

"Then again...you might end up dating one of Gonzales's people."

"Truth to tell? they spook me a little. Lupita's cool, but wow... if she ever does lose it? Don't tell Dagmar I said that. Or Lupita. They're good friends."

"No, I totally get it. Dad says to watch out for them, too. Besides...I think she's the only one around our age." A pause. "Weird to think of her and Dirk dating."

"Yeahhhh still not sure how that happened. I mean, you could joke 'he only loves her for her killing abilities' but... why she puts up with him I'm not sure"

"They're both badass, really. If they're watching each other's backs? That's a kind of love, I guess. But...I mean, I can't picture them making out or anything."

"Ugh..sorry.. I mean, she's fine. But... if she gets excited does she get hairy or... wow."

"That doesn't bother me as much as the thought that Dirk might not have brushed his teeth in, like, ever."

"Double ugh. I mean, what DOES a cap floss with?"

"Probably best not to think about it," says the girl who keeps a dead hand as a pet.

"YEAAAH... " She says with a shudder

"Maybe....ohhhhh....." And then she shuts up abruptly.

"Dare I ask?" At the abrupt silence.

"Wellllll...." She hesitates. "You do want to travel, and you're not limiting yourself to kiths, and....well....there's a DeBuke who's an eshu....."
