[A dealbreaker?? Siffrin can't imagine taking issue with that. He answers in a rush, sensing that nervous energy.]
No, I don't care about that. I mean, I care, but more like I just like knowing more about you?
[Oh stars, this us embarrassing. Siffrin swallows down a lump in their throat and squeezes Isabeau's hand tighter like they might be able to wring the anxiety out of it. It doesn't do much for their own nervousness, but they cling on tight regardless and try to find the words to continue.]
And...well, you're probably a lot more experienced than me? That's all. [He grimaces, hoping it doesn't come across the wrong way.] So, as long as you're okay with that...
[Ugh. Well. That's definitely not the only potential concern, is it? It's not that he thinks Isabeau is only interested in...stuff. Isa's probably the biggest romantic of their whole group, after all. But he's never said anything about...well, anything else. Normal stuff most people probably do in relationships. Stuff Isabeau might have already done before and might expect eventually. Just thinking about it makes Siffrin feel a little sick, the lump they'd swallowed down returning with a vengeance. They think they might rather die than bring this up, but...
...But it wouldn't be fair to Isabeau to not know.
Drawing another breath to steady himself, Siffrin eases up his grip on Isabeau's hand. Just...in case he'll want to let go or something.]
And also. Um. I guess if we're talking about potential dealbreakers, then...you should probably know I don't really like the idea of...doing? Things?
