She wavered before taking her next step. "I'd personally love anything you give me". The rose color on her cheeks grew even deeper. Ew, gross, why was he being so nice. Eric didn't even like him that much, hell she almost went out of her way to fight with him especially, yet here he was acting like she was his pal. God this was weird. After a somewhat long pause she realized she hadn't said anything in return. "Oh, uh, yeah I read them, a lot." She gestured at the comics still tucked under her arm.

"Not what I was asking." He raises a brow. "Is everything alright? You ain't dizzy or nutin', are you?"

She snapped her head away from the comics and blinked a few times, not even realizing how red her face had become. "Oh, what, me? Psh nah man I'm cool." Eric waved a hand dismissively, "Just like, hot out here, 'n shit. Shirt must be made of wool or something." Of course that was a blatant lie. The standard shirt she was provided as a scout might as well have been made of rice paper in places like Sawmill. But hey, maybe he'd buy it.

[[ does eriC HAVE A CRUSH ON PAULIE ]]
Paulie rolls his eyes. "Ain't no need to fib, man." He grins. "Been a Scout since about 7th grade. I know my stuff." He chuckles anyways, wiping his eye. "Ahh, you really thought I'd fall for dat?"

Eric frowned. "Look- whatever, lets just go." She pushed past him, feeling embarrassed that he saw through her lie. It would have just been better if she'd kept her stupid mouth shut.

He frowns, and sighs. "No need to get testy. I don't gotta borrow your stuff. I know how much it means to you." He says, stopping. "I ain't gotta mooch off ya or nothin."

Wait, was that what he thought this was about? She hoped so. Pausing, Eric turned to look back at him, her expression a bit softer now. "Wh- no man, it's totally cool. I let lots of people borrow my comics. I mean hey, more fans to talk to are always cool, you're not moochin'."

"You sure? You just. Seem irritated. I know you usually are but, I mean. I just wish I could get you to open up because friends are always somethin' nice to have." He offers a slight smile, hoping, practically begging, she'd smile back and agree.

Dashing his hopes, she merely shrugged and turned her head away. "Jeez, how many times to we have to go over this..." She muttered, sounding more tired than irritated at this point. "Look, will you cool your tits if I say that I don't even open up to friends? Yeah, wow, truths right there. Does that make me a shitty friend? Probably, but gee, what else is new."

"I just wish I could help you feel better about yourself and stuff. I know you don't open up to people. I just.. wish I could help you out with opening up." He sighs. "Someday, hopefully. I just want you to be happy and stuff!"

Shit. She could feel her cheeks starting to heat up already. Holding a hand to her face to partially obscure her face from him she replied, "W-well, this stuffs none of your goddamn business, alright? Just let it go already!" Eric spun on her heel back toward the BLU base. She almost started walking away, but paused to add, "Why don't you just come pick up those comics later."

"Alright. Just.. take care, alright Eric?" He smiles, feeling that deep down she understood that he cared, even if she didn't see it just yet. "I'll see you around."

"Whatever." Was the only response she gave as she left. Stupid, thick headed , dumb, nice scout. Why couldn't he be like everyone else and be mean to people who were mean to him?
