*he wrinkles his nose a bit when you say "noble"...not out of distaste, but because he never really thought of his actions along those lines...he's just doing what seems to be right in his view....but he certainly seems relieved when you say that you won't feel less of him*
I.....thanks Alison. I really wouldn't....want to....you know....
*he stumbles over the words for a moment*
It's important to me...your opinion....of me. Some other people's....maybe not...but yours, yes...
*when you lean over for the gentle hug, he doesn't flinch or pull away; in fact, he returns it with sudden vigor, holding tight for a brief moment before letting go*
Thank you, Alison. I know I...don't handle this kind of thing very well. Thanks for putting up with it.
*and in this moment, his feelings for you have grown tremendously - but at the same time, they've morphed as well....or mutated, if you prefer...into some species of the hero-worship he bears for Nia....he offers you a small smile, but it's completely untethered by guilt, at least for now...there may be a small nugget of guilt there for some time to come, but he's finally realized that he's not going to screw anything up with you, friendship-wise, and that's enough*

((sorry, I'm late this morning, so this will have to be a fast one!))
*she stiffened a moment in surprise when you hugged her back - it was really one of the last things she was expecting. She smiled and squeezed, then let go, pulling back before she topples off the stool*
Well, thanks George. That's really sweet. And that means alot to me, too.
*there, she felt a sudden wave of relief wash over her. The situation had been diffused - or so she thought - and she had managed to talk you out of doing anything silly without actually having to hurt your feelings and outright reject you.*
And, no thanks needed! We're friends; this is what friends do, you know. Anytime - I'll always "put up" with it. And with you.
*she looked sideways at you, giving you a teasing sort of smile and a little nudge with her elbow*
Even if I have to risk my "cool" reputation by visiting you in a place as completely uncool as the Lab.

*he flushes with pleasure as you call him a friend...that's something he really takes seriously, and especially when it comes to someone like you, who's very important....friends are kind of like equals, and he hasn't had much experience being friends with people he considers "above his station", so to speak*
Well, we're even then....you didn't need to apologize about the alternate dimension....
*he chuckles softly as you nudge him*
Maybe you should stay out of here...for your reputation, and for safety's sake too....
*ZOMG, was he teasing you back?..he must have been, what with the faint smile playing at the corner of his mouth...it's small, but it's also completely genuine...this is what he's like when he's truly relaxed...this is the most "real" you've ever seen him - and most people never do*
But....yeah....about the hand and...all that other stuff... I'll let you know what I find.
*annnnnnd there it is, the moment is broken...he reverts to a slightly more businesslike demeanor, mostly to cover that other half of his problems - even though things with you are better, he still misses Cerise terribly*
((Gah, I think we're winding down with this hon. *L* It's been a blast!))

*annnnd, because it's really late and I am SUPER tired, but I hate to leave this just hanging, we'll say that Alison hopped up and gave you another brief hug, giving you a big thanks for doing this for her, then skipped out of the Lab to let you work*
((Thanks! I had fun too; it was interesting. Now I've been "broken in" to board roleplay, woo!))
