[ it definitely suits her. everyone knows - everyone knows - but they're still playing around, acting like no one knows, assuming the other is oblivious. the reality is, anya is correct; there is nothing more jade wolf than skirting along the issue while being horrible, terribly, extremely obvious.

anya's words, though they are genuine and sweet, don't quite breakthrough to jade. sometimes, it's simplest to accept that perhaps you're nothing but a footnote in a boy's life, no matter how many chapters in your own you'd dedicate to him. (and this, she realizes, is dumb. jade is dwelling on dave when she has a long life ahead of her. what was that someone had said about growing gray hairs too early?) ]

Oh, I don't know. It's easy enough to sing something and not mean it, Anya.

[ they're just missing a drying period for anya's nails, now, so jade blows on them lightly, waving a hand over them to boot. ] That's why people can sing duets to people to they're not in love with. Dave was probably just doing something nice for me because he'd upset me! I don't mind that. It's okay. He's still my friend.

[Oh silly Jade.

Anya wants to console her in the ways that she's familiar with - holding onto her hands, giving her a hug, doing something to run her fingers through her hair, but that's a little hard when her fingernails are drying as they are. So instead she tilts her head for a moment before scooting over so that she can lean their shoulders against each other.]

I think what you're saying is true... and maybe it applies to other people - but I still don't think that it applies to you two.

[That's very, very hard to believe. After all these years?]

I'm sure that you two will be friends forever. [That's another fact, one that Anya can't imagine bending ever.] But I think you're not giving yourself enough credit either.

It's okay to believe that the boy that you've liked all these years might like you too?

[ the bump to her shoulders coaxes a smile out of jade, at least, and looking over to anya, she can see that she's only trying to help. it's very sweet of her, she thinks, but jade remembers seven years of wishes ("that's a lot of wishes," anya had said, and she's not wrong), and remembers lucky number seven. that's what she'd say about the third year, though. "third time's a charm!" and then everything else after that was just wishful thinking. (literally)

jade smiles, and leans closer to anya, looking down at her nails. a blue and purple galaxy with twinkling silver jewels; the documentary is talking about space, but her friend's voice demands her attention. ]

I think if we've been best friends for almost ten years, he might have told me by now? We tell each other everything.

I know you mean well, Anya, and I think Dave and I will be friends no matter what! I think we've been friends for a very long time... and... we always be. But, that doesn't mean we're meant to be together. If it's meant, it'd happen. We're only seventeen, you know?

[constellates]

[ . . . well.

Anya laughs a little bit at that and shakes her head.]

You tell each other everything... but you have not told him either? Oh Jade, you don't need to wait for him, you know.

[But that's Anya's opinion. It may not count for much, since Anya so very rarely wants anything from anyone. But on the rare occasion that she does, she doesn't hesitate to get it. So there's a small little hum and she rests her weight gently against Jade since she still can't quite take her hands.]

But you're right. I think it's okay to be patient too.... just don't lose hope? I don't think you'll be disappointed.
