IT'S A GOOD THINK FOR BENJI that chloe doesn't mind tardiness one bit. she understands that everyone has their own things to deal with and she would be just fine with it any time. the only upset she suffers is the fact that he doesn't at least text to let her know he'll be late. it's not as if he's her boyfriend, no, but she cares for him and hopes he at least likes her enough to let her know what's going on. he sure likes her enough to date her at least casually. with all this in mind, she's prepared to pout at him for being late only to pause when she opens the door to see him dressed like he is.  â ... oh ... â  she says, looking him up and down to take in the full outfit. her lips twitch before she smiles, chuckling behind her fingers, but it isnât unkind, more a relieved sound than anything.  â goodness , i was going to ask if we were going to roleplay tonight or something ... â  she reaches out and gently flicks under his chin, uncaring as the greasy paint gets on her fingers.  â so a clown ?  that's sweet , benji .  it fits you perfectly now that i think about it . â  she steps aside to let him in .  â i have plenty of make up wipes if you need those to help you .  you can also shower if you want , i think i even have some clothes you left one time ?  i can check if need be â and if not , i can just throw whatever you're wearing underneath your outfit into the wash . â  this is truly a non-issue for her; sheâs just relieved he didnât just up and leave her for maybe someone else or something. // [ orig . | @chilledspinesâ ]
