[Envy pulls out that Eonsporin tube again to start getting that on the scrapes, cleaning them with water first when they need it. And he at least knows how to use regular band-aids. Even if the way he fumbles with the peel-offs betray how unused to them he is.]
[He figures she'll tell him if he's doing something wrong.]
Stuff like feelings, or stuff like just attraction?
[He's got the right idea, so she'll let him go on.]
[She's too busy bemoaning the fact that her sex drive randomly decided to pop back up again after being more or less dormant for years on end.]
[In fact, she looks a little confused for a moment, brows deeply furrowed.]
... I... I didn't really... realize there was a difference.
[It's both a confession and a total realization-- she's had crushes aplenty, friends who she would readily admit that she loved in a way that went beyond friendship-- but she never was aware of their bodies like this.]
The... latter, I guess? I-- I mean... I don't know her that well, you know? As a person. I like her and everything! But-- yeah, I mean-- it wasn't till-- I mean, she kinda like... [Her voice drops to a mumble, as though Lust might be pressed to the door listening or something. God, Heather hopes she's not home.]
[He nods to the first part; that at least he knows the answer to.]
Well yeah, I mean...they can happen together obviously, but not every time. I started out just being attracted to France, all the mushy feelings and shit came later.
[...wait that might not be at all reassuring shit]
Not that--it's not for sure that it'd turn out like that for YOU, but--
[He just stops talking before he digs the pit further and focuses on the bandaids for a moment. He hopes for Heather's sake that it STAYS at just attraction, because Lust is definitely taken and Envy's pretty sure she hasn't even remotely considered the idea of dating a woman.]
...you've been dealing with it for that long, though?
[Yeah, Heather is... not even remotely entertaining the idea that she has a chance with Lust. Even if she wasn't taken, Heather's pretty sure the lady's straight as an arrow.]
Well, if dealing with it is the right word to use...

[Envy is only slightly more qualified to talk about crushes than he was to administer first aid.]
[But speaking of which, she does still look like she lost a fight with a lawnmower.]
Hey, don't worry, it's...emotions are weird. Trust me, I know.
You wanna tell me about it while I keep trying to fix your war wounds?

[She heaves a sigh and holds out her arm, where there's various scrapes in need of band-aids.]
Okay, so like...
I guess it started on New Year's?
Since we were sharing a room, and there were two beds and obviously she and Scar weren't gonna share one...
Nothing happened, I just-- started noticing stuff...!

I've just kinda been trying to ignore it.
