I like valentine’s day.

Bloop blinks, surprised. Yellow’s never stopped herself so abruptly before, especially not around her! One of Bloop’s hands comes forwards, resting gently on Yellow’s arm. “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. But... I would like it if you would. It makes me anxious when you don’t tell me things.”

“It isn’t always a good idea... in fact, it’s usually bad, unless they already knew that it was a lie, in which case it usually isn’t really good or bad.”

“You’d have to ask whoever you told it to to know for sure, I think.”

“I don’t know how, I just kind of do it. It’s never really been hard...”

“Oh, no. I don’t know anything about cooking, but I do know that water boils at a specific temperature, and if it stops being at that temperature, it stops boiling! And I’ve never even considered whether or not I wanted to cook, so... I suppose it doesn’t mean that. If you’d like to teach me how to cook, I would be open to it!”

“I don’t think lying to her is actually okay unless she specifically invites it, like with most people! Or if it is very obvious that you are lying, like with jokes!”

I know I am and so are you!

I probably should have @’d her!

“If you like! I’m sure I can think of some real humdingers!”

“Of course not. That was definitely a hypothetical...”
