"I don't know if there will be others who are inclined to agree." Bruce wasn't really a... fun sort of person, to put it mildly, and he knows that very well. Not that he was going to be grumpy or annoyed over people having fun at his expanse, but he just wasn't the kind of guy who mixed well with these things.

Even if there had been the whole Fade stuff that happened.

He watches the flowers containing to bloom around where Lucas is standing, letting out a sigh after another moment. "I'm quite sure I'll just ruin the atmosphere, anyway." What with all the rumors floating around him; it was best to just not make things worse than they already were.

omg I'm so sorry, I thought I replied a couple days ago

Ruby can't quite help quirking an eyebrow at that, a mix of sympathetic and curious.

"Speaking as someone who was chased by mobs with fire and pitchforks on more than one occasion," she starts, rather frankly, "you definitely won't. Besides, sometimes it's good to just do something really different. Show your face, show people that you're willing to get involved. Maybe you won't be skipping through fields of daisies with anyone after, but you're a healer. It'll be good for everyone to have a chance to get to know you."

And a moment, before she idly plucks a couple of the bright flowers from the wall beside her, keeping the stems long so she can start to braid them together, "Worst case scenario is that we have an extra healer on hand in case someone gets hurt, and I'll promise not to drag you into a snow fight ever again."

its cool haha, i've been slow as balls

Bruce blinks at the frankness of Lucas's words, having not quite expected them... but appreciating it all the same, in a way. He isn't so optimistic as to believe that this one thing would do anything for his current situation, but she does have a point as well. It would probably be safer to have somebody around in case anybody got themselves injured in the whole thing.

He lets himself dwell on it for a while more before he sighs and runs a hand through his hair. "...alright. So long as you don't expect me for anything amazing anytime soon. I'd hate to disappoint."

He was probably going to regret this later.

See? It's almost like its an amazing idea and Ruby's totally right. (Yes, both are true.)

"You won't, trust me." Her smile is delighted, and she holds out the two flowers to Bruce, woven together in an impromptu little bracelet. "But I fully give you the right to tell me 'I told you so,' after."

[amygdalae]

There's another blink as he looks at the.... bracelet? that Lucas had apparently made while they were chatting, and he hesitates for a moment before reaching over to take the bracelet.

"I'll exercise that right if I deem it necessary," he says, even though he knows he probably won't. Even if things went south, he could hardly blame Lucas for simply wanting to do something good for others.

[eviscerates]

When he accepts the bracelet her smile widens just a little. Ah yes. Floral friendship bracelet. Their ultimate friend status is official, now.

"Entirely fair. And if you do, I will make t-shirts for the occasion. They'll say 'Bruce is always right' and I'll wear them every day."

Except then she frowns. Does she need to explain about t-shirts? And words on t-shirts? Oh, man.

[amygdalae]

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Bruce frowns as well because--shirts, yes, he knew what those were, but t-shirts? Were they some sort of variant of shirts? And what did she mean by the whole thing about them saying something? Could these t-shirts speak? A ridiculous idea at first glance, but then the last year had shown him even the most ridiculous thing could be true.

He knows he could ask, but he isn't entirely sure how Lucas would interpret that. And the last thing he wanted was to come off as rude.

"...okay," he settles on saying just that, eventually, even though it sounded as unsure as he felt right now. "Though you don't need to wear anything just because of that. I'm fine as nobody gets horribly injured or maimed."
