Yeah. Wei Wuxian and I were talking about if we'd remember everything and how we can take ideas and information back to our own timelines. He was really, really excited about Costco. [Thanks to someone.
But...hm?]
"Or"s are never nothing, Beck. And I'm gonna be curious and keep asking so maybe you should just say it.
I told him about the wonders of online shopping. We may have created a monster.
[...but he raises his eyebrows with interest.] I have zero interest in telling anyone anything anymore. [He might still be a little peeved about the Haymitch thing.] There's a maybe-person?
Smart, attractive, and brave girls? Yeah. Wow. Why would anyone ever want to be with you? [Flatly. Oh so flatly. But he can't help but give her a curious look.] But I get the feeling that's not what you mean.
...but it was fine up until a point, wasn't it? I know it's not my place to ask what you guys were talking about but I'm still not really sure I see how it was something you could've known would happen.
Probably the best thing you can do is apologize when you think he's in a good place to listen. Can't guarantee it'll go well, and if he was that upset it probably won't go anywhere nearly as well as you hope, but worth a try.
He's smart, he's kind... He always does his best, even though things here are hurting him a lot, too. And - he's funny, too. Just - everything, I guess?
[...all good qualities, and he just kind of nods slowly.]
I get it. It's not really hard to see why you'd like someone like that. [...he just kind of stares at the ceiling.] Maybe when this is all over, something can work out. Who knows?

[Don’t @ her. Anyways! She pauses for a moment, before she sighs.]
Okay, but - if I tell you, you can’t tell anybody else. Especially not the person it... might be about.

That might be an overstatement. I don’t think it’s going to go anywhere.

I know how this is going to sound, but.. People like the person I’m thinking of don’t end up with people like me.

I just... He’s going through a lot, and I think I just make it worse every time I try to help.

Seriously, he sank down onto the floor in the middle of talking to me, it was... bad.

[That's encouraging, but he's being realistic.]

I mean... We've talked since then, and he hasn't brought it up. I don't really want to rock the boat, you know? I care about his friendship a lot.

[She pauses, though.]
You sure there wasn't another reason you brought that up?
no subject
...I don't know. I'm pretty sure I'm losing my mind but what else is new?
no subject
[But, all the same:]
Why would you think that?

I think it matters more what you do with those feelings. [...] Who?
