I can't understand why (ch 41) FL is like 'ah I'm so arrogant for offering help' when to me, going 'hey, I wanted this walk, but is it a bit much?' is just... considerate? And could not one of them flat out say 'gee, actually, it's not totally awful when I'm around you'... UGH. Is this a normal thing for other people? This doesn't even feel like any misunderstandings, it simply feels like they're both purposely pretending they know how to NOT subtly lie with every word.
I love overdramatic misunderstandings. But this feels like they're both having to work to find anything to misunderstand? I really liked this at first, but now my socially-blind self is going "ffs you guys, no one is gonna win anything if they can seem more ignorant than the other".
Blaaargh.
