[ Glitch had the camera up and he's looking at his fluid trying to send a message to a certain someone. ]
Okay. How do I even fucking start?
Uh.
Heeeeeey, Hunk.
No, that's stupid.
Sooo, Hunk. You're cool. I'm cool. Why don't we-
No, that's really fucking dumb. [ He lets out an aggravated sigh, scrubbing at his face. ]
How did fucking Varian ask Ruby out on a date? Maybe I should just get into that mindset.
'Hey. I'm a science guy. Let me just mix these potions together and lets get the dating on.'
[ He scoffs at it and he continues to babble away. ]
No. That's even worse if I'm taking that route. Why am I even taking Martin's advice...fuuuuck.
Just forget it. Just ask him straight out. 'Hey Hunk, when the month from hell is over do you want to hang out like date like? I think you're cool and want to get to know you.'
Maybe I should forget-...
wait why does it say 'sent'?

....Yes, Lev.
I did this wrong.
This is like the wrongest I've done something so. You're right.

[ This boy. He has a feeling Lev doesn't really get what just happened and well...Glitch isn't about to cover it up. No point in lying. ]
...Lev.
You're a good kid, but no. This is not actually the worst.
It's just embarrassing.
...Lev.

It's just embarrassing.
I sent it to multiple wrong people, because this device is a piece of crap. So, yeah I can send it to him but it doesn't change the fact it still got messed up.
[ However, he sighs a little bit even as Lev points out their age difference. ]
Trust me. On the inside, I feel so much older than how I look.

Trust me. On the inside, I feel so much older than how I look.
But it doesn't change your feelings, right? Even if other people know? Or... is it supposed to be secret?
[He's doing his best to figure it out. This is all very new for him.]
People say that about me. But sometimes I think it just means you feel tired inside.

I. Well. Not really? Look, I just don't do relationship shit well I guess so it's a bit embarrassing telling a million people at once I like someone.
[ Though it just sounds like he's repressing himself, doesn't it? ]
...You know what? That's totally fucking true. I just feel tired all the time.
[ Though it just sounds like he's repressing himself, doesn't it? ]
...You know what? That's totally fucking true. I just feel tired all the time.
Honestly, I really don't have time for that much right now.
You know, since everything is awful.
[ Getting to sleep had been at least been made easier thanks to the new addition to their house and these pjs Usagi gave him.
Despite how embarrassing the pjs were. He can't believe he's being given advice like this for a literal twelve year old though. ]
Suppose you got a point there. I just wish this was something you could be magically good at.

It is. But... it won't be that way forever. We just have to make it to the end of the month.
[He's trying to be a little optimistic. AND EXCUSE YOU HE'S THIRTEEN AND A HALF!!]
Hmm, people are so different. I don't know if anyone could be magically good at this sort of thing. You just be honest.

[ Still baby, Lev. Still baby. ]
Yeah, suppose that's something.
Well. I think that's enough of embarrassing myself in front of people today.
Just...please pretend you never saw this.

Hey, Lev. [Nico looks weirdly well-rested, and he has finally ditched the bloody horror show aesthetic he'd adopted for a couple weeks there, looking clean if exceptionally rumpled. He's in his kitchen, which even at the cursory glance provided by fluid video has clearly been (shock, horror) scrubbed down top to bottom. It sorta had to be, after everything that happened in October. Lev 1, Nico 0.] Have you been to any of those sinkholes?
[Nico slept for two days, then woke up and made skeletons clean his house and slept for two more days, then meditated where the girl on the Fluid had gone to get some of her powers back because of course he did, and slept for two more days after that. He is getting extremely bored of sleeping, now.]
What? [Of course Lev would notice that!!! Nico stubbornly doesn't comment.] The sinkholes. There's three of them in town now, and they're huge. There's stuff in them, too.

Does that mean you'll stop complaining about it? [Despite the words (and the fact that he resisted for so long), Nico reluctantly finds himself kinda pleased that Lev approves. Not that he did any of the work, but still.]
I don't know. Maybe. [Killer sales pitch, Nico.] The one where the hotel used to be feels alright from up here, I'm going to explore it. [The one in front of the hospital absolutely does not.] Want to come?

Hmm. For a little bit. Until it gets dirty again. [Wow, rude boy. But there's the faintest hint of a smile on his face.] I got some stuff. [He gestures behind him to a basket. It's filled with things like rope, a lantern, and other camping gear.
So that's a yes.]
So that's a yes.]
[Nico scoffs, and then heads from the kitchen to the foyer, where he'd left the backpack he got.] Me too. I was thinking of shadow traveling down there though, it goes deep. [He halts suddenly when he realizes that actually Lev is literally the only person here who has seen what can happen to him if he shadow travels too much, and explains:] I'm pretty sure I got some more of my power back the other day. So it won't be that dangerous. [Comforting!]
Ugh. Grab a bucket too then. [He's pretty sure he does NOT like shadow traveling. And he doesn't know how he feels about Nico doing it either. He doesn't want him to vanish.] It better not be dangerous for you. [A huff.] What if there is no bottom?
I'll bring chocolate. That helps it not feel so bad when you get out. [Now that the stores are open and he can get some, unlike the last time.] There's a bottom, I can sense it. That's part of my, uh... what I can do. [He probably should actually explain himself at some point, shouldn't he? Lev just accepts things as they come so he hadn't made the effort before.] My dad's domain is death and darkness and everything under the Earth. When I'm underground I can instinctively navigate, I'm not going to shoot us out of a shadow halfway down and let us fall the rest of the way, or something.
[All of that and he just looks like the most unimpressive scrawny teenager, unfortunate.] Yeah. Before I could only do it every twelve hours, I don't know if it's still true, but you might as well bring something to eat while we're down there in case it is. [He looks a little sheepish, at least?] I kinda pushed it last time.
