But you are documenting them being intimate and calling claiming it a sign of love.

Is this a wedding?

Alright, that’s it.

It was a joke.

A. Joke.

[Oh. He wasn't really... good. With those. He had the urge to tell her to be more clear about it. He also had the urge to ask her explain what was funny about documenting the rat-people being intimate. Still also, a strange uncomfortable twisting in his gut was occurring at the same time as both thoughts. And more, when he started to type a response he found himself dissatisfied with what he was saying, deleting it, and starting over. Only to do it again. And again.

Eventually he decided it wasn't worth responding to at all. If it was a joke, then he didn't need to understand unless it was directed at him. Which it didn't seem to be. It seemed to be a joke on the rats being documented. Maybe they had offended Daria in some way. Regardless, it was not his problem.

The strange uncomfortable feeling didn't go away easily, however.]
