[She did note that there was something there she didn't expect. Disappointment? Jealousy? Revulsion? She wasn't sure, but she didn't like the idea that she hurt her friends' feelings].
Basil? I'm sorry. Did I say something that upset you?
[Luz didn't say it aloud, but Basil's opinion of her DID matter a lot in her world].
( Reading that response is enough to make him feel guilty. He shouldn't be upset. He isn't upset with Luz. He loves Sunny -- deeply, more than he's love anyone else. And.. he likes Kenma a lot, too.
It's a lot for him to take in at once. )
No, Luz. You didn't say anything wrong, promise!
Sorry, I just need to rest. I'll talk to you later, okay?
[Luz is, of course, totally not knowing what's going on and is only bothered by the idea that she might have inadvertently made Basil uncomfortable].
If you're sure...
[She might have pursued, but she had a feeling that maybe Basil needed to internalize some things he might not have been aware of. Those kinds of revelations were always something that took some time to understand].
[Luz knew better than to try and coax something that needed to be left alone for right now. She understood feelings with Sunny tended to be complicated for Basil, so she wasn't going to push it].
OK.
Come find me if you ever need to talk, or just want to hang out, ok?
🔒
Oh, yeah. I wouldn't just go and cheat on them. Actually, Kenma and Aubrey know each other well, and they both love Sunny a lot.
And me, I hope!

( He can feel the way that his heart sinks then. Somehow, it hurts. He just wants them to be happy. He shouldn't feel this way.
How selfish... )
I'm really happy for all of you...
But... Sorry... I'm not feeling very well, Luz. I'll talk to you later.
