((*ROTFL* That was great! rofl ))
Ben seemed notably happy about this and his face showed it.
Thanks I...uh....
He was stopped short as he listened to your strange thought progression. He finished the last bit of his eggs and almost chuckled but didn't want to embarrass you more.
Sure...of course..that's why people take advantage of me. I...umm... of course were friends...good friends...I think. Don't you?

(( lol I thought it was pretty funny too. Good times, hehe))
*Synge continued to stare at her plate as she finished her eggs. She nodded when you agreed with the reason people take advantage of you and then took a drink of her water as you finished speaking. She looked blank for a moment, considering what it meant to be good friends with a person. Slowly she nodded, still feeling embarrassed about her random outburst moments ago.*
Yeah, um, good friends...that sounds right. Eh, glad you agree then. Oh, and thanks for the food...

(( Yeah that was really perfect for the situation! ))
Ben took another sip of his water and then thought about what you said. So far he had been rolling the dice and it had worked for him. It was time to up the ante.
Yeah... I think we are good friends...we might be able to be...even more...you know...but that's just a thought. And you're welcome...
He picked up both empty plates and took them to the sink. He filled his water glass and yours before sitting down again.

((Aw, heh, thanks!))
*Synge was relieved to hear that what she said about them being friends went over well. Your next comment seemed to confuse her a bit though, despite her very recent half confession. She took another drink of her now full glass of water before saying anything.*
Er, what do you mean? I'm kind of new at this friend thing...so I don't really know much about it. But I mean, what is more than good...friends...
*She stopped there, apparently realizing what your comment had meant. This was the first time this kind of thing had really been brought up with her and she didn't know how to react.*
Oh...right...heh.
*She took another drink of her water and felt her face turn red with embarrassment as she tried to avoid looking at you.*

Ben was about to respond when he noticed that the full effect of what he had said was finally coming clear. He had rolled the dice again and wondered if it would turn out for the better. This was new territory for him and he knew it was for Synge as well so both of them really weren't sure what to do.
Right...I mean...I can stop there if you don't want me to come any closer...I mean...I kind of forced us into this...maybe it was not the right way? I...don't...know.
The added silence only made this moment more complicated than before. He had said his peace and was waiting to see what might happen.

Er...I...
*Synge stared down into her water glass, somehow hoping the answer to what she should do was in there somewhere. She felt nervous all over, suddenly experiencing the things she had always asked others about, but what to do now that it was actually happening to her? She managed to take a quick look at you for a moment before she felt that her nervousness would explode inside her, forcing her to look away with a face redder than before.*
...I don't mind.
*This was all she could manage to say, and felt that it was completely inefficient but without the right words this would have to do.*

Ben was rather concerned at the sudden silence after he had asked you a question of this importance. He watched you as he sat in silence, it was probably one of the hardest waits he had ever experienced. When you finally answered, he sat in silence as he thought about the answer.
Really? Well...what are we supposed to do? I kinda...don't really know what I am supposed to do...I just know that the feelings are different than just a friend. I know this is just...different.
It was obvious that Ben was trying his best to understand what he really was talking about but having a hard time.

*Synge felt a little worried as you revealed your total lack of knowledge in this kind of situation. She was completely clueless herself, so she didn't have any useful answers really. Still looking into her glass of water she shrugged, her voice strangely shy and reserved.*
Hm, I don't know either...Friend feelings are all I've ever felt, knowingly...
*She sat without speaking for a moment and then laughed softly as she looked up at you finally for more than a second.*
We are hopeless aren't we?

I have had girls that wanted me for my money but I never really did anything with them...most of the time I avoided them...other than that I don't know what more than friends are like...but....
Ben laughed very hard at your comments so the two were laughing together.
Heh...yeah we are in for a heck of a mess...aren't we? Well...I know this much...when people have those kinds of emotions...they tend to like being around each other and usually do stuff when they are around each other...holding hands, cuddling, you know...stuff like that. I think that we just...I don't know ...do what comes naturally...What do you think?
This was all he could think of. He certainly knew what he would like to try but he didn't know too much about how to do it.

*Synge was glad to be laughing with you, it made her feel a bit more at ease. She nodded as you agreed that they were totally clueless, and as you mentioned the sort of things that people in these situations usually do she found herself blushing once again. She wasn't sure if she could do any of that without her heart beating so fast that it just flies out of her chest. The thought made her nervous.*
Heh, yeah, ok, sure. Sounds right...er, me naturally might be a bit clumsy I imagine.

He watches your face and noticed you are blushing again. He at least felt more comfortable when asking things now. It was only natural to try and understand the other person...right?
You're...blushing...why do you blush? I am trying to understand...isn't that something about being ashamed of something? If so...I would never want you...to be...ashamed.

Er...well, no. Maybe? No, I don't think so...I think it more...embarrassed?
*She stopped for a moment, trying to think of a way to explain to him, and herself, what was going on.*
The way I feel, er, the way you make me feel, it gets me...nervous. Not in a bad way, just nervous, and embarrassed that I'm nervous. Er, I don't know...heh.
*She laughed nervously at herself. She had no idea what she was talking about.*

(( This is too fun! mrgreen ))
Ben watched and seemed to furrow his brow a little as he listened to your explanation. When there is a silence, he has the blank look for a moment.
Well...I know what you mean...its like...when I am around other people...I don't really get this way but with you...I just I feel like I am a loss for words...like I am happy you are there but maybe...I don't know...feeling like I should doing something about it...you know? But...here's an idea...
He gently held his hand out to you.
Maybe...we should do something like this...anytime people get worried...they hold hands...and so do couples...maybe...if we are holding hands that's what ...calms us down.
(( One or two posts left! crying ))

((Ah how the time flies when you are having fun! 3nodding ))
*Synge was feeling quite relieved with your speaking. Saying the things that she has been feeling for days now but unable to see it for what it was. She feels much better to know she isn't alone, and gets interested when you mentioned an idea to calm her down. Of course, when she sees your hand and gets your idea she feels like fainting. She really isn't sure if that will make things worse or better. She is fairly certain she will die from nervousness, but doesn't want to hurt your feelings so she goes for it anyway. Slowly she extends her own hand across the bar and lightly rests it in your hand. Instantly she feels like her heart really is going to jump away, but slowly she starts to feel a little calmer.*
Maybe...maybe you were right.

(( Yeah, we also got started a little later than normal too. ))
As his hand is left empty for some time, Ben worries that he moved too fast but then feels a great relief and some excitement too when your hand ends up in his own. He gently clasps it and you can feel a different kind of connection than you had when he would help you up. He was calming and so were you.
Almost as if in protest, his own body started fighting against him. He sighed and then smiled as he still clutched your hand.
I think...so...but. Wouldn't you know it...right when I do..this...the damned sickness comes...back. I need to ...rest...what about you?
(( I also find it utterly hilarious that as soon as I read your post about holding his hand..LOL...my iPod went to "Catch You, Catch Me" from Card Captor Sakura. rofl rofl ))
