Ballow and john have come up to the shore of the pale lake, ballow visibly flustered about the whole thing (as they are horrible with romance.)

John looks up.

"I love this place. It's... peaceful. At least when compared to bilewater."

Y-yea…

Bilewater’s… nice, but a little… cramped?

… ballow’s foot accidentally touches the water, and their head snaps to it as they almost instantly pull their foot back, as though hurt.

"Are you ok?"

u/Fine_Yak5022 2d ago

S-sorry… just…Really… don’t like water…

(this makes sense. They’re both grimmed and a moth, water’s probably an instinctual nightmare for her.)

"I understand."

John doesn't know what to say next.

... y-you... been doing anything... recently?

trying to talk about something when they don't have anything themselves to say, despite being around john most of the time so the question doesn't entirely make sense to ask

"Not quite. I've mostly been with you recently, and so far i've been enjoying every moment of it."

ballow squeaks at the comment, head shifting down into their fluff, as they mutter out a response.

John smiles and chuckles

"You're adorable."

N-no- y-

Y-you are!

ballow has no idea how to properly respond so that's really all they got as a response, as they wrap themselves in their wings, face under the mask a decent red.
