"Good luck sticking to those ones."

Lorica resists the temptation to crack her helmet open enough to try them.

Glam thinks she really should!

Glam is welcome to save her some if they really want.

"What?"

"If I got the chance to make out with Dauntless, would that hurt my chances with you?"

"That depends on whether you take him up on it."

"Er. Yes, okay, I amend the question to 'should I take him up on it, would that hurt my chances with you?'"

"Little bit, yeah. How much depends on other details."

"Hrrm. Details like what?"

"...I'm really uncertain how much detail it's appropriate to go into here."

"...alright, for the time being there will be no makeouts."

"I can't exactly quantify into numerical terms how good your chances are to begin with," Lorica says. "It doesn't necessarily make sense for you to be - I probably should've just told you to go ahead."

"I'm not sure you get just how bad I got it."

"Maybe I don't. But still."

"Eh. For now, don't think it's quite worth the risk. Dauntless is cute but that's about the extent of it."

"How did this even come up?"

"It didn't actually come up, I was just talking to him and it occurred to me that he's graduating so there won't be as many opportunities in the future." Pause. "I mean, I wouldn't even be thinking about it if past interactions didn't lead me to believe he'd be willing, but."

"I've never known Dauntless to be a casual makeouts person."

"He probably isn't, I don't think it'd be as easy as coming up to him and asking, but before I decided to actually, you know, invest any time in it, I wanted to ask."

"Gotcha."

"Let it never be said that I'm not at least trying to think about things before doing them."

"This isn't exactly the same as previous recklessnesses, but noted."
