Ok ok ok so how about Nancy knowing Robin gets anxious about whether she’s talking too much but equally wants to info dump about her special interests all the time, so she purposefully starts bringing up Rob’s special interests and current hyperfixations just so she can talk about them without feeling like she’s derailing to conversation.
Like one night while they’re out with the rest of the Spicy Six™️ Robin seems a bit fidgety and uncomfortable so Nancy just casually says:
“Hey, Rob? What was it you were telling me about Ancient Greek and Latin the other day? Like about the etymology or something-?”
And she just watches as Robin comes into herself again, rambling on about her language knowledge and ancient civilisations, and Nancy is just lovestruck. Like full-on heart eyes, dreamy sighs and dopey smiles. And if one of the group tries to stop Robin before she’s done Nancy glares. Seeing Robin so happy and enthusiastic as she moves her hands around while she talks and taps her feet under the table had Nancy completely enthralled by this dorky, intelligent, beautiful girl.
Sometimes Robin still catches herself when she’s rambling, and will ask Nancy quietly, “Nance, am I talking too much?”
And Nancy will always reply: “no, never, love,”
