"So… I have a type, I think? Maybe two?" Aurelius managed, "I'm usually drawn to kind, empathetic people or total badasses. Both way out of my league."
(Fun fact: his canon boyfriend is a badass healer)

(Sounds Like Silver to me! XD)
"I've been told I tend to be both" said Silver watching Aurelius carefully.

(Lol that's honestly what I was getting from it. They've got their differences, but the archetype is pretty similar)
Aurelius looked away. He bit down on his lip, almost completely unsure of how to get around this.
Screw it… I'm just gonna try my hand at flirting, and this either works out or makes him equally as uncomfortable. A win-win, right?
"Yeah, I think you've proven as much. You think you're gonna get a confession or something out of me? You'll have to do better than that," he teased.
(wtf is flirting I can't do thissssssss)

(Idk flirting either!! So here we go! Learning through our characters! XD)
Silver raised an eyebrow, "Who said I was trying to do that?" he asked, "Though I can't say I wouldn't be against the idea"

(I have to go to bed. I'll be back tomorrow. And lol, yeah, I guess we are. I'm engaged and I literally never learned how to flirt, so…)
"Hm… what makes you think I was talking about you to begin with?" Aurelius pressed, now much more playful since this seemed to be going well.

"You're the one who asked if I was trying to get a confession out of you" said Silver coolly, "Besides, maybe you want the confession out of me? Hmm?" he watched Aurelius for a reaction, a mischievous glint in his eye.
(Cool! I'll see you tomorrow!)

“Automatically just comparing yourself to my type?” Aurelius said, trying not to flinch, “Seems pretty suspicious to me.”

"Now why would I do that?" asked Silver, "As far as I can tell I am your type."

"Hah. Maybe so," Aurelius admitted, covering his face partially.
He was out of moves.
"Come to think of it, you are pretty cute."

"And you are being utterly adorable" said Silver teasingly, "By the way where were you trying to go with this?"

"Trying to make you uncomfortable," Aurelius said matter-of-factly, "but looks like it backfired, didn't it?"

"Oh absolutely" said Silver, "but it was a good try, and you are pretty cute yourself" he watched Aurelius for a reaction.

Aurelius bit down on his lip again and held his breath a little. He didn't think he could hold back much longer before dying of embarrassment. Then again, maybe Silver actually meant something by what he was saying. He dared not be upfront and ask about it.
"That's a first," Aurelius replied to being called "cute."

"How is that a first?" asked Silver, surprised,

"I'm a disaster," Aurelius said, "I think I scare away a lot more people than I attract. But that's okay, I guess."
He folded his hands together in front of him.
"So I'm that cute, huh?"

"One, you're not a disaster." said Silver flatly, "Two, yes I meant it, you're adorable"

Aurelius looked over his shoulder to the tree. it was black with decay and still smoldering.
"I think that tree would beg to differ on the disaster part, but I appreciate it."
A light flush of color flooded his cheeks.

Silver glanced at the tree, "Honestly that sort of thing is impressive if you look at it right…" he said,his eyes flicking back to Aurelius, "And now you're even more adorable with that pink."

"Oh, come on," Aurelius protested, "You're killing me over here! It's not my fault I'm so pale that I blush easily. Besides, I'm certainly not used to compliments like that. You can't blame me…"

"hey I'm pale too!" said Silver, "You don't see me blushing at every little compliment. Besides, you just get more adorable by the minute!"

Aurelius let out a breath.
"Okay, so what now, then? I'm still not completely sure of your intent."

"Hmm….." said Silver, "Well seeing as I'm still on the ground, unable to do much… that's more or less up to you"

That’s not what I meant…
“Yeah, um… I’m not sure.”
Aurelius started to stand up. He felt a little off, but steady enough to walk back.
“The question is, can I help you?”

Silver sighed, carefully pushing himself up to a sitting position, "You sure you're in good enough shape to walk back? I took us pretty far out…"

"Yeah, I think so. I might have to take a couple of short breaks on the way back, but I should be able to make it," Aurelius said, "I'm tougher than I seem. But um… what about you?"
