[SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS- I mean.

She will administer that first, and she totally gets the morose feeling.]

Are you staying here for now?

[She's totally not asking to try and discreetly keep Ren from getting murdered, nope.]

[le_mat]

[he pauses, thinking. Mitsuru is with Lenka. He trusts Lenka.

So he nods ]

[backspacing]

Alright.

[After putting the medicine away, she's going to fish out a can of coke.

Yep. Real coke. No more faygo stuff like what the camp store has. This one is even cold.]

Want one?

[le_mat]

[He doesn't know the brand: after all, purse owners have their knock off verse brands. But he knows legit cola when he sees it and nods]

Late night pop, now I'll never sleep. For shame.

One of the perks to being a counselor is no curfew, so there's no need to go to bed at the appointed time.

[Which means that, with her permission, campers can violate curfew. So Ren can have that permission for now. Especially since he'll need to stay put during body cleanup.]

[le_mat]

I feel so privileged. Guess that means I'll have to keep myself entertained though.

[backspacing]

Stay off of my computer and you'll be fine.

[She still has his phone too.

In face she's using it right now.]

[le_mat]

You better not be looking up anything weird on there.

[for a high school boy his phone is pretty clean TBH-he kept all that to online and kept his browser clean... Till Futaba joined and no porn was ever on any electric device he owned ever again. ]

[backspacing]

Is a gacha game weird?

[She totally downloaded Fire Emblem Heroes on his phone and may have hacked it a bit to make a team of swimsuit girls for the main team right now. For summer appropriateness, of course.]

I even got you 'brave princess Lucina' on here, that one took me some time to acquire.

[le_mat]

Lucina...

Hey, Red. Did you make those puzzles for the game yesterday?

[backspacing]

Hm? No, Archer decided to this week.

[le_mat]

[But this was Archer's first week... so why would the note say 'this time?' Ren is concerned. But this isn't the place to question it]

Huh. I was wondering, because they were pretty hard.

[backspacing]

[THAT IS INDEED A MYSTERY REN SHOULD WORK AT FIGURING OUT. Probably Eski forgot she switched from Stan to Archer this week idk she's asleep so I can't ask her.]

Logic puzzles can be tricky, but some people think they're fun.

[le_mat]

[I MEAN HE STILL SHOULD QUESTION WHY ARCHER WOULD GIVE THEM A CODE TO A DRIVE THEY'RE NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO HAVE BUT EITHER WAY]

I usually manage them okay, dunno if I'd call them fun though.

[backspacing]

Would a redhead-themed one suit you better?

[le_mat]

[He flusters]

What's that supposed to mean!

[backspacing]

It means you're very obvious.

[le_mat]

[He huffs. There's a lot of people this could mean to be honest- but the meeting laid out everything and he wasn't exactly subtle beforehand either]

Well... I mean, I was done trying to keep things in. It didn't help with Talcott so... you know.

[backspacing]

There's nothing wrong with it, you know. Your feelings are your feelings.

[She's also 99% sure everything that's happened here is Dumb Teenagers Exploring Feelings and everyone will eventually figure shit out, so.]

[le_mat]

[Of definitely. Teenagers and stress never leads to anything other than chaos.]

You know though, it is funny- we have... had... a lot of red-heads here.

[backspacing]

It is indeed a large number of redheads. I would suspect someone doing it to poke fun at me, except outside of one person I can't think of who would do that.

[le_mat]

Though, the only one with the same shade as you is Mitsuru-senpai.

[backspacing]

What, you don't appreciate the carrots?

[Ichigo, Kon, and Floe, she means.]

I think Kon was nursing a crush on you, even.

[le_mat]

I didn't say that, just... you know, it's different!

[He fiddles with his bangs]

You... really think he was? He had it pretty hard for Natsume.

[backspacing]

It's actually fairly normal to crush on many people, even if you're in a committed relationship. The point of commitment is to say 'sure, those feelings exist, but I'm choosing to ignore them because I care about you more'.

I doubt he would have done anything about it without effort on your side of things, he was a bit needy like that. But him liking one person doesn't prevent him from liking someone else as well.
