[ It certainly was a lot easier with the threads. Easier to know what the other was thinking, feeling — finding comfort in being used to those glowing embers of affection in a gentler way. To experience it without worrying too much about addressing it.
All of this is just a huge expanse of the unknown, things they've never dealt with in life — somethings neither of them thought they'd ever deal with. Both of them understand that in one another. In the thread's absence, they're stumbling around in the dark with it. But there's comfort in knowing they're in a similar boat, and stumbling around together. ]
I know what you mean.
It's a little frightening, but it's not a bad kind? It's something I'm alright with, though. I don't mind being a little scared about it.

[ Of course there's that nervous fear, that lends into shyness. But it's... exciting, too. Just as Alice had told her with her and Kady: it's scary, but it's also nice. She's... starting to understand that now. And maybe as her friend suggested, it's something worth facing the fear of. ]
It's alright, Peter. And I don't expect you to be good at this kind of thing. I understand.
[ He's... a dummy, sometimes. She's okay with this. ]
But I know you're trying, you're willing to try and that means a lot.
If you're going to trust me with this, whatever it might be? I know it means you're trying.
