She can't say Leo. He'll ask her about the flowers and stuff. And then he wouldn't get why she wouldn't say yes to Leo asking her out, since that would definitely come out.]
I... have a couple of people, I guess, I don't really know for sure... but... [White can't meet his eye really, focusing on the cast instead with its various names now imprinted upon it.] For a while now, I've really liked Jude.
[ Ah. A taken man. Black nods quietly, threading his fingers over his stomach. ]
He's nice. I really don't blame you. [ ...he really doesn't. Jude's sincere, really nice, helpful, sort of nice to look at. ] Are you... okay? You know, since he's...
Yeah. I had that jealous-hate thing going on towards his girlfriend, but they're really dedicated to one another to the point where they have total trust and... Well, I mean, can I really compete with that anyway?
[Not another woman in Jude's life as far as White's concerned.]
I can only do so much for a lost cause. [...] I still really like him though. Not sure how I can stop that, but it doesn't hurt or anything so I figure it's okay.
[ She could totally compete with that, his sister's The Best. ]
It probably is. [ says the guy who's probably rarely ever had crushes HAHAHA he'll sit up now. ] You'll be fine--you've always been stronger than everything else.
[She holds his gaze for all of two seconds before humming noncommittally and looking away.]
I also have plenty of little crushes that probably won't last, but that's nothing new. [...] And I don't think I like Silver that way, but I've definitely felt a kind of love around him. A cozy kind. It's nice and I don't want to stop hugging him when we hug.
[... And she might do flowers with him?? She's not actually sure. There's no self-consciousness with him around.]
She hasn't stopped pinching his cheek, mind but it's just holding him now.]
... I guess you could be right. I doubt he'd be up for it, since he doesn't seem like the datey kind of guy, but I don't see why I can't ask him out for fun.
He might like going out to eat, you never know. [ Silver's... pretty enigmatic, all things considered. And he keeps pulling Black into friend stuff. And selfies. ] Besides, if you get to tease me about this sort of thing, it's only fair that I get to do it to you, right?
[Silver isn't enigmatic you just don't know how to accept friendship.]
You're wrong if you think that's how this works. [pull pull] I'm the little sister, so of course I get to tease you. [pull pull] You're my big brother, so you're supposed to try and scare them off.
[ Younger siblings.... he rubs his cheek, thank goodness that's over ]
I see. I'm pretty sure older brothers can tease their little sisters about who they like too, for the record. [ ...and White's always been his champion, so aren't their roles switched anyway... ]
oh he was right oh he was right. Black gently poke the more spirited flowers. ]
Nothing, nothing. I was just pulling names out of a hat. [ he always does this and he's always right ] I'm guessing things didn't go well with Leo when he brought you flowers? You two haven't been hanging out as much.

White peers at him over her book for a moment before glancing away, settling it in her lap and resting her cast on it.]
We've just been busy. Me especially, since the business is really kicking up now [kinda] and I guess Leo's just been doing his Leo thing.

I'll tell you later. [When they get a new house.] I'd feel bad talking about him when he's practically our neighbor.
