He'll unhook his sheath to rest on his lap as he drops to a seat a short distance away, deflating a little bit at the question as he glances at the Ant cabin.]
The... girls are the problem. Not that sort of problem, it's just-- [Ugh... he never likes explaining this, but might as well bite the bullet. Beau must not have seen the mess on the bus from before... He's not sure if he's glad or worried.]
I guess you could call it a phobia. It's not something I have total control over. But I've been like this since I was a kid. I can talk to women and even appreciate looking at them just fine. There's nothing wrong with them. But it takes a lot effort to just... [Gestures at the respectable distance between the two of them.] ...be any closer than this.
Look, 45 actually tried to smash in one of the windows and flew past me when she bounced back, and I... kkkkind of might have panicked and backed up straight into Flayn...
[hahah. :( anyway.]
As far as 45 goes... well, Akira mentioned she's got a pretty special situation going on with what she is. Is that what you're talking aboit?
She seems pretty intelligent and analytical, and her construction and operations are fascinating to me, but... god, her voice could break glass. [she's scary]
You think that might just be making the problem worse?
Akira spoke pretty highly of her, and while Asch thought she was a little shifty and hard to read, he knew she was pretty smart. Maybe it's a case of just learning more about her besides what's on the surface.
Who are you, my fucking mom? I don't like her, dude, I'm not gonna spend time getting to know some chick that bothers me. She's a fine person, she's smart, and she can be besties with someone else.
Hey, don't take it the wrong way or anything. I love women, so it's not like I mind. [guy, phrasing] And if any of them gets uncomfortable, I'll look at camping somewhere else, no questions asked.
But as long as they don't get too close, I think I should be able to manage for now. [mostly.]

It's just... they're all girls in there, outside myself. [And this is a COMPLICATED SITUATION.]
no subject
I - yeah? [ she is SO AMUSED. guy, she is also a girl. ] What's the problem?

Okay. So switch with someone?
no subject
just
this face exactly]
You think I wouldn't have led with that if I thought I could?
no subject
Which girls? Do you know their names?
no subject
Flayn, Stephanie, and 45. I know 45 was familiar with Akira, so I assume you know who she is, too.
45 and Flayn already had to deal with enough on the bus. You can't blame me for being a little concerned for them, right?
no subject
But - I get it, yeah. Flayn's an angel, she doesn't deserve anything that happens here. [ just flayn tho ]
no subject
Yeah.
I... might have already kind of roughed her up a bit on accident. [Said very, very sheepishly. God, that poor kid.]
Any reason you and 45 don't get along?
no subject
... No. I just think she's creepy. [ there's other reasons, but guy's social link is too low. ]

no subject
What? No, I don't think she's creepy because she's a robot. I'm not like, robot racist or anything, she's just fucking unnerving. She smiles too much.
can you tell i typed that last tag on my phone, i sure can
Yeah... yeah, agreed.
She seems pretty intelligent and analytical, and her construction and operations are fascinating to me, but... god, her voice could break glass. [she's scary]
no subject
[ is she pouting about this? maybe. ]
no subject
Have you ever just tried talking to her about it?

[He'll wave a hand in resignation, though.]
Fine, fine. It was just a suggestion. You were with her a lot longer, so I can't really blame you if you just didn't get along.
no subject
[ ANYWAY. ] Sucks to be you, in a cabin full of girls. Are you gonna suck it up or are you gonna like, sleep somewhere else?
no subject
But as long as they don't get too close, I think I should be able to manage for now. [mostly.]
What about you? Who'd you get stuck with?
no subject
I got Natalie, Lili, Belph and Chuuya. They're not bad, and I knew Chuuya from the House, so. [ shrug. ] Could've been worse.
