"you know i was trying to flirt?" vikram is totally butchering this. it's painfully obvious he doesn't do this often. a mental note is made to run this scenario by his therapist next time he sees them. 'i approached this lady but she thought i was flirting and i was not, not flirting but she called me out and i made it awkward. so how do i do that better next time?' something like that. "to be fair... it was a good hiding place. i don't think anyone would have thought to look down there." he wipes whatever debris was left on his knee from bending down, a chuckle escaping them once more at kirby's words. to think that the phantom's sins could be washed away by finding someone their candy bucket is nothing short of amusing. "i'm glad i could help." he looks around, noticing they’ve wandered onto one of the less populated streets. "can i walk you home? or... back to the main road, maybe?"
was her flirting off ? no , she was good at this , so good she did it on accident sometimes even . “ i know you were , i was trying to - ah , forget about it . ” she followed him , a dumb move to follow a masked man but he was looking for her pumpkin and that made him a halfway decent guy in her book . “ oh great , holy shit , why did i put it under a car ? ” she racks her brain trying to make sense of the rationale there . what if the person whose car it was decided to back up over her candy or just drove off ? was she as smart as she thought she was ? clearly the fuck not . “ thank you so much , i was gonna spend the whole night just moping around my apartment , wishing i had a fuckin' snickers or something . see , the phantom was the good guy all along ! ”
