Crowe: *saying in her head* Knowing Stanley, he'd never accept a dare. So that means this is real. Oh god. Plan, Crowe. If you can escape priests, you can make a logical decision in the face of someone's romantic attraction to you.
Crowe: *in head* Chill. Chill, Crowe. He might not have found out that I caught on. Just hang out with him. As a friend. Platonically. What could go wrong?
Crowe: Listen. This is awkward. Very. But don't be ashamed. These are your feelings, okay? Don't hide them. No matter how painful it's gonna be. *she hugged him to comfort him* And never pretend they aren't there.
Crowe: *thinking "This is a turning point. I don't want to make him sad, he's already so insecure." She always though of him as a friend until earlier today, but noe that she really thinks about it...* In all honestly... it's really complicated. Like you're somewhere between friend and crush. You're great. Really. Don't think I'm lying to you. But... I'm just not sure.
Crowe: Okay. We both got a little weight off our shoulders. I really hope this doesn't build itself into a wall. But for now, I challenged someone who hates us both. And I have to fight him. *she places her hand on his shoulder for a few seconds, then slowly steps away.*
Crowe: That's weird. *looking for a signature*
(Forgot to mention but she hides her wings and wolf ears because they got her into a lot of crazy cult stuff)
Crowe: Why did I even expect them to sign their name... well, I doubt someone would do this on a whim. So it's either a dare or I've got a secret admirer.
Crowe: Too late for tears. I've gotta fight for us both now. *she sighs. It's obviously not easy to not cry. Thankfully she's made it to the track just in time.*
Crowe: I would say "fair fight," but I actually don't give a damn as long as it's 1v1. So I guess it's time for one of us to regret our life decisions. *She punched him in the nose.*
Crowe: *is knocked back a bit* Ngh... okay. My turn. *Regains her composure and, albeit oddly, run towards him and punches him in the side of the face, making him stagger*
Crowe: Don't get all "oh I can't do anything" on me, either. Pathetic isn't a good look on you. *turns to bullies* I'm gonna hit these guys until they BEG for death.
Crowe: *a bit surprised, smiles at him* Listen to me, Stanley. Don't worry about me getting hurt. I went through worse stuff in my childhood that I wouldn't exactly enjoy discussing, I can take being hit by these b*tch-ass losers.
Crowe: You don't have to worry. Please. For my sake. When was the last time you worried something would happen and it did? *she turns away and faces the bullies* You. Me. Middle of the mile-long track. FIve minutes. Only one of you.
