Welcome to Gaia! ::

Candace snorted. "His is a really big secret." She left it at that. There were other things to be talked about, things that weren't Jerry's 'secret'.

She still didn't like how he was speaking of Sasha. "Sasha isn't a b***h. She can barely say the word." Did she do something more than when everyone had been duking it out over pizza? Did something new happen? Candace sniffed, looking down again. She was allowed to hate her? But what reason did she have to hate Sasha? She didn't really have one...

"..You're right." She sighed, adjusting the strap of her bag and pinching the bridge of her nose. Harrison was right. Of course he was right. She was just wrong about everything, she failed at everything. She wasn't worth anything. Harrison said Candace was out of Jerry's league but was that really true? She didn't feel like it right now. "You're right, you're right. I...I can do better, right? I don't..I don't need a commitment like that holding me back. I should just..keep doing what I've been doing. Casual. Just..casual. No labels." Candace sniffed. "Thank you, Harrison. I haven't..really vented at anyone. Ever. About any of those things." She forced a smile, reaching for Harrison's hand and holding it tightly. Contact. Human contact. She needed it. All of it.

"That's fine. Though you've got me curious..I'll just ask you again later~." She chuckled, looking around. There didn't seem to be anything else in the hall a the moment. She sighed with relief, nodding. "Lets head back down now. I think I want a nap." A nice, long nap. Ohhh or a shower. Either of those worked.

She frowned. He was right again, huh? He made a very good point. Everything she was venting about directed toward love and sex and wanting both. Candace sighed, ruffling her own hair and looking up at the ceiling. "It didn't used to be that way. I was the best friend with benefits ever~. I was told by a therapist when I was a teenager that I had a love phobia. Until recently the very idea of love triggered severe anxiety attacks." Candace laughed and shook her her, pouting a bit. "If only I could just...take them and mush them together to form one perfect man. Bah." She waved a hand. Candace was getting more and more tired by the minute, but she had a feeling it was more emotional draining than actual physical exertion.

A sap? Her? She laughed, playfully pushing him away. "I blame getting out of my old lifestyle, okay? You should've seen me before I was recruited, I was pretty much a cold-hearted b***h. No time for love and dates~. Gotta study and do productive s**t and make enough money to get the hell out of here." She sighed, moving to drape an arm across Harrison's shoulders again and lean her weight against him, tilting her head to rest it against the man's as they left the dorms and headed back to the underground. "Seriously though, thanks for listening and helping. I feel a bit better now." Candace gave his shoulder a squeeze. "Thank you~."

A pause.

"But they are your people now, Rat Man."
