Hey, how's it goin'? If you're listening to this, I'm either in the kitchen stuffing my face or off doing something awesome. And by "awesome" I mean "stupid and dangerous". But it's still awesome. Anyway, you should know how this works. Drop me a line and I'll get back to you as soon as I'm done.

Oh and uh... if the name "Haven" means anything to any of you guys, let me know in the message, okay? Please. [BEEP]

It means I like them better.

[Wow, Arya. Way to just reach in with no warning and stab him in the place where he's weakest. Wade feels a pleased blush rise in his face, feels his mouth stretch in a wide, goofy smile. He always had a weakness for girls giving him compliments, after all-- no matter what their age.]

knew i liked u for some reason u charmer

[whichend]

[ Wade likes her? Arya figures that's an exercise in poor judgement, but even so, she feels a little warmer inside. She sends Wade a smiling-face emoji, hoping that she's used the little text-picture correctly. This time, she thinks she has. ]

[ishotyouuu]

[The fact that she's made an effort to figure out a piece of technology well beyond her era, and use it for Wade's benefit, warms the cockles of the mercenary's cold and cynical heart. If anything, that goofy smile grows wider as he almost sends her an emoji of his own... but stops at the last second, overcome by uncertainty and a small sliver of panic, and chooses another one instead. A smiling emoji with its tongue sticking out. Much safer.]

feel free to contact me whenever u like peanut

or even stop by

i'm always up for making meals for pretty ladies

[whichend]

May I ask you one more thing?

[ Wade has never been anything but nice to her, and Arys feels bad about it, but she doesn't feel like she has a choice. ]

[ishotyouuu]

sure thing, peanut

shoot

[whichend]

Could you please not call me pretty?

[ because she knows she isn't. Because when men call her pretty, it's because they want something, because they're trying to manipulate her. She doesn't think Wade is trying to do that; he just doesn't know any better. But the last masked man to call her pretty also took her sight, and her name, and what little she had left that mattered. ]

I'm sorry to ask this of you it just brings up things I do not really wish to think about

[ishotyouuu]

[A few seconds pass with no answer. Then all of a sudden her phone becomes flooded with panicked messages.]

was that too creepy

that was too creepy wasn't it

I'm an idiot

you're right, that wasn't appropriate

I'm really sorry

I didn't mean that at all

I was just trying to give you a nice compliment I swear

I'm sorry

[whichend]

[ with each message, Arya feels worse and worse. She's upset him unduly. She shouldn't have said that. ]

Its not your fault. You did not know. The comment was innocent enough, I know. Not creepy.

It is me with the problem.

There have been other men who have said that to me who wished me ill, and I don't want to be reminded of them because I don't want to confuse you with them.

I'd like to

You have been nothing but kind and I do not want to make you upset.

[ishotyouuu]

I'm not upset

I'm just worried about making YOU upset

which I did apparently

sorry

if you want I'll put a lid on the compliments from now on, I promise

the last thing I'd want to do is make you feel uncomfortable around me

[whichend]

IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT

I'm bad with memories but I'll get better

[ishotyouuu]

it's okay I promise!

I'll just make things easier for you in the meantime, no worries :)

[whichend]

Thank you.

What is ' :) '?

[ishotyouuu]

oh uh

it's a smiley face

turned on its side

I grew up before this whole emoji craze so sometimes I forget we have those

[whichend]

A smile made of letters! So one can invent their own, if they wanted?

I think I like this better than the emoji.

:)

[ishotyouuu]

sure you can! be creative!

look, this one's sticking their tongue out at you :p

[whichend]

Here's a grumpy one, like me: >:|

Or a jesting face! ;)

Evil face: >:)

[ishotyouuu]

hey, you're catching on!

altho idk I personally think this face is more like you: >:3

[whichend]

Is that a scheming cat?

[ishotyouuu]

I think so, yeah

idk I think of you when I use it

cute, but with claws

>:3 >:3 >:3

[whichend]

[ Wade thinks of her?? what?? ]

>:3

It is fitting. I've been a cat and everything.

[ishotyouuu]

[Wade thinks of you more than you'd expect, Arya.]

really? no kitten around? :p

[He couldn't resist.]

[whichend]

For true.

(Or should I say for mew? >:3)

I used to be a girl called Cat of the Canals.

[ishotyouuu]

[OH GOD SHE RECOGNIZES PUNS WADE'S EVEN MORE IN LOVE.]

cat of the canals huh

pretty badass name, I gotta say

[whichend]

[ sans introduced her!! ]

She wasn't badass at all. She just sold cockles and clams. It was nice.
