[It's a recognizable tone, even if it hasn't been directed at him in a while. That's for the best.

When Elaine returns, Oda and Aria have escaped their sorry loop. Instead Aria is trying to eat Oda's hand, and Oda is letting her.]

Mm. She is, at least.

[He's... working on the fun thing.]

Talking to a friend?

[heartswapped]

I guess you could say that. We met at the Pokemon Center a week or two ago, but... well, he seems awfully charming.

[ Is Elaine blushing? Her cheeks do certainly look at least a little pink, there. She'll let Aria stay with Oda for now -- she loves seeing the two of them together like this. ]

If you keep that up, I'm not sure you'll have any fingers left.

[ She's just teasing, but. ]

[tenimuho]

If she manages to bite all of my fingers off, I would be very impressed.

[Taking her at her word... Probably. It's hard to tell with Oda.]

I'm glad you're meeting new people.

[heartswapped]

I'm surprised it's happened this quickly.

[ She's gonna boop Aria's nose, but still leave her to eat Dad's hand. ]

Even when it was just the twins, most guys are kinda scared off by the kids.

[ That's probably why she's had such horrid luck with dating in the past, her questionable taste in men notwithstanding. ]

[tenimuho]

I don't know why. They're good kids.

[Mischievous sometimes, sure, but that shouldn't be a big problem for anyone who's serious.]

[heartswapped]

I guess a lot of guys aren't sure they want that kind of commitment?

[ Which she can understand, but. ]

My sister and I were only sixteen when she had the twins.

[ The guy she's seeing now is a bit older, but most she's dated were in her age bracket. Not every guy is willing to adopt like five kids at 21, Oda. ]

[tenimuho]

Mm. I suppose.

[He's aware he's different from many young-ish people in that regard.]

I hope you two have fun.

[heartswapped]

[ She nods slowly, and gives him a weak smile. Oda's never been the jealous type, but she still feels the need to say: ]

...thanks for being understanding about this.

[tenimuho]

I can't give that to you anymore. So it's good you found someone else who can.

[He's not a jealous person. At most, he'd be a little sad that things turned out the way they did - but he's always sad about that.]
