"Hey I'll take your word for it, but seriously do you have any hobbies? The few times that I have seen you, you always seem so business mode. That will kill you faster than anything else.""I like to go to the Conservatory and spend time there," Dana replied, taking a long drink of her smoothie. "Surrounded by the beauty of everything around, you can't help but forget about the world out there. You should try that sometime." Ace Nottingham

Flowers? He tilted his head because he had not expected THAT out of all things. "Are you saying that I do not know how to relax?" Where would she ever get an idea like that. "I am relaxed now and letting everything that happened during the day roll off my shoulders, don't I give off relaxed man vibes?"

"Are you saying that I do not know how to relax?"Singed a nerve didn't I? Dana thought, chuckling at the sight of Ace trying to come back from that, especially after... "I am relaxed now and letting everything that happened during the day roll off my shoulders, don't I give off relaxed man vibes?""No, more like 'I'm nervous and insecure around a confident and driven woman' vibe," Dana said, smiling at having knocked Ace off his confident stride.

"Ugh," he said. "See that is where relationships fail. People start losing what makes them, well them. Don't worry I am sure some confident and driven woman will understand, but not me. I don't get it at all. People need to be strong in their relationships but sometimes you have to be vulnerable as well. Best of both words in a way."

"See that is where relationships fail. People start losing what makes them, well them.""True, but there's also not remaining stuck in your old ways," Dana retorted. "Yes, I could remain distant and alone, but I chose to slowly change and see what was out there. Its' a work in progress, Ace." Ace Nottingham

"I do understand that especially since change is always happening around us. I just," he paused a second trying to think of how to word it because while he understood it he still thought that some people were shit and would be but he knew that the world as a whole was just everyone trying to be okay. "To change then, is that what we are rooting for today?"

"Yeah, but what kind of change are we looking for?" Dana said in turn. "The change that is long-lasting, that affects you deep down inside or the kind that morphs into whatever is going on around you?" Ace Nottingham

He did not know what to think of Dana, aside from hot but he found almost every woman hot. "Would you like to be friends?" Fuck it pained him to ask but he did need more friends and the truth was that someone who was not attracted to him was a better canidate. "Any change honestly,"

It still had him in a state of shock to ask as he slowly blinked and then he heard her speak. "Oh," he said as he looked at her. "I mean I guess that's alright," he said. "What do friends do because I have no idea if I am being honest," he said as he laughed. "I just mean is it like oh okay cool and never talk again or is it like hanging out? This is a serious question and please don't laugh."

"I wouldn't know either," Dana replied. "This is new ground for both of us, I suppose." An honest thought; she didn't grow up with a lot of friends; being wealthy did that to some people. Ace Nottingham

He shook his head and spoke. "Wow this is really kind of sad, not in like someone died way but just like sad that we are adults and have no idea how to do this." It was also a realization. "I guess we can figure it out together since no one else ever taught us."

"Very true," he said. He was not even trying to fight it anymore since he did not feel there was any use in it anymore but that was not always bad. "You almost sound so disappointed."

"No, not disappointed," Dana replied. "Like I said earlier, I think we can definitely be friends, even if our personalities don't appear to mesh and all." Ace Nottingham
