[ He paused, staring at the outline of his best friend covered in a blanket. He shouldn't laugh. This really wasn't the moment for humor. But it was just so..childish and pathetic, he couldn't help himself. So Lor let out a quiet chuckle, shaking his head as he looked away. ]

Of course he doesn't believe you. You're an unrepentant dick. [ Because that's what best friends do: call each other names. He shrugged slightly, looking around and wishing he didn't really have to address it. ] Your guess is as good as mine, man. Are you sure you aren't making it worse?

[ It's supposed to come out as a tease, but it doesn't really sound like it, and Lor winces. Glad Bells can't see it, though. ] Well, that's the good part about being in a relationship. You find out how you messed up, and if you really want to keep that relationship, you fix it or work out a compromise.

[ Maybe it wasn't really his place to talk about this. He hadn't been in a relationship since— for a very long time. ]

Do you know what you did?

[ Still, from what he'd learned of Bells in the time he'd known him, it seemed that he was...pretty stupid with relationships. If he could help, he wanted to. ]
