It's not "just" to me when I'm with Lincoln, but they sent him home. So it is what it is now.

But you're my friend, so I'm allowed to think all the good things I want about you.

I'm sorry.

[ He hasn't said that about Lincoln yet, feels badly for not picking up on how much he meant to her. But he's never been all that observant, except when he actively wants to be. ]

I'm not saying you can't think good things about me, I'm just not sure how not to think bad things with this picture.

I'm okay.

[not really. but for now, anyway. a lot of people have seen her naked and it's proven to be a decent distraction. sorry to anyone who thought she'd be embarrassed by her naked ass ending up all over the network.]

Bad things?

not BAD things just
sexy things, I guess.

[ Good grief, can he be any more awkward about telling a girl she's hot? ]

Sexy things are a lot better than bad things, Rowan.

naughty things?
I don't know, it's just a lot of picture.

Does it make you uncomfortable? Do I make you uncomfortable?

[because the misfire wasn't her fault, but she doesn't want him to feel like she's making fun of him for it. she's just not used to his reaction - most people wouldn't worry about their sexy thoughts.]

Not...

Uncomfortable is the wrong word. And you're not, no.

What's the right word?

[ Great, he's so going to regret this, but he can't think of another way out of this corner he's built for himself. ]

turned on?

sorry. that's why I'm deleting it.

You don't have to apologize.

I could always send you another one.

haha very funny.
I'm an idiot, I get it. :p

What's so funny?

OCTAVIA

not cool come on, give me a break here.

I told you what I was sending that time.

Do you want a break, or a hand?

[ Even though she's offering, he still doesn't believe she means it, that she's attracted to him. Surely she's just playing. ]

stop playing with me.

I made you an offer. You're the one who's playing.

I'm not playing.
...you're really not?

I don't do that to people. Especially not here, where sex is a basic requirement of survival.

Why would I be messing with you?

I don't know. Because.

I guess I'm not used to people offering that. Outside of aphros. And not because of an accidental photo.

Aphros make me feel like I don't have control over my own body. I'd rather work things out on my own.

People do that; I've had a few friends offer since Lincoln went home. I think it's easier that way.

I didn't even think of that. I'm sorry?
I'm here. If you need. Or want. Or whatever.

You don't have anything to apologize for.
Me too. I'm here, if you decide you want to.

I'll keep that in mind.
not in the gross way just
yeah

I know, you don't have to tell me.
