[There's a reason why this is anonymous.

Already regretting his decision, Eustace grimaces in disgust typing this hideous thing. But he doesn't want bothersome questions about himself and [redacted], and he knows he's out of his element here. Since he doesn't know anyone personally to ask and he definitely doesn't want [redacted] to see it, he's just going to cover all his tracks and inflict self-torture as he channels someone from his world to pretend as. thanks Beatrix he hates this so much]

we already did that.....

i don't wanna do it again 😒

[stillarhino]

damn you wasnt kidding huh
there anything the two of ya aint done there before
like idk ride a dragon or something

[Because he's done that and that was fun.]

[flamekthunder]

not sure i'd trust the dragon

we did ride some dolphins, they liked that!!

[Actually, it was seahorses, but he can't leave anything specific that could potentially blow his cover!!]

[stillarhino]

and you dont wanna do that again do ya?
there anything the two of ya aint done yet?

[flamekthunder]

there's not a lot...we've known each other for a few years.

[Exaggerating the time a bit, but it has been over a year and a half, so. Kind of true??]

[stillarhino]

cant ya just do the same stuff then?
you was friends before and now you doing it on a date instead
i dunno about you but its still pretty special if ya ask me

[flamekthunder]

i'm worried that it might feel...boring? 😞

[stillarhino]

was it boring the when yall did it last time?
aint the point of a date just hanging out together?

[flamekthunder]

not like that

just, you know, doing the same thing as before might seem like there wasn't a lot of effort?? like cooking the same meal instead of doing something new?

[UGH HE'S OVERTHINKING THIS but whatever, let's see what Beat has to say.]

[stillarhino]

[Reading that actually brings up a specific memory for Beat, and he can't help but smile softly at the recollection.]

you know when i first started dating my girlfriend i kept cooking her favorite dish
just cause i wanted to get it right for her
like i was eating curry for days yo
when i was confident that it tasted good i made it for her
said it probably aint the same thing shes used to

you know what she told me?
that it dont matter that its different
just knowing i made it for her was what mattered
and seeing how happy it made her was worth it

its probably aight that you guys gonna be doing some of the same things
just you being there and doing stuff with thems gonna be enough

[He kinda wishes he had someone to tell him not to worry back then. So even if this is a little personal, he doesn't mind sharing it with someone if it can help them out somehow.]

[flamekthunder]

[Eustace can't help but stare at the phone because.

What the fuck that came from that kid?

He's not sure if he should be feeling impressed or somewhat embarrassed this kind of advice from Beat...and at his age...

...

Yeah he feels pretty lame right now—

BUT IT'S FINE IT'S FINE BEAT JUST NEVER HAS TO KNOW THAT'S ALL he can maintain some dignity whatever is left of it.]

wowowowowow that was suuuuuuper deep!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

but that does help a lot too

[stillarhino]

aint all that deep yo
yous probably stressing and i get it
when ya chill out you and your dates gonna have a helluva time

[flamekthunder]

yeah you're probably right... they seem to like everything i do, but i still want to give the best, you know?

aaaah that's so embarrassing!!! 😫😫😫😫😫

[Not really.]

[stillarhino]

[Heh, he wants to cheer whoever this is on. Seems like they're really doing their best right now.]

ask them what they wanna do nonny
might help ya shake off the nerves

[Nonny like anonymous.]

[flamekthunder]

[...He's not sure if it's a good or bad thing that he actually understood that shorthand—]

yeah i will!!

thank you for all your help rhino!! 😊🦏👊

[stillarhino]

aint no biggie yo
good luck on your date
