Prove me wrong by smiling.

[retellers]

How is smiling on cue any better?

[dawnblushed]

It would prove the muscles you use for smiling aren't broken.

[retellers]

That's not a thing.

[dawnblushed]

There are definitely muscles in your face, Wolf.

[retellers]

You can't break your muscles.

[dawnblushed]

What word are you supposed to use when they don't work, then?

[retellers]

My muscles work fine. And it's called a strain.

[dawnblushed]

Okay, so prove that your smiling muscles aren't strained, then.

[retellers]

No.

[dawnblushed]

[POUTS.]

Please?

[retellers]

Why do you want to see it so bad?

[dawnblushed]

...I don't know. I just do.

[retellers]

[ they. bop her on the head? gently? with a knuckle? ]

It won't tell you anything if I smile on command.

[dawnblushed]

[bop!

she just looks kind of surprised.]

...I know, but I still want to see what your smile looks like.

[retellers]

I got that. [ dry. ] Big difference between forced smiles and natural ones.

[dawnblushed]

I guess I'll just have to figure out some way to make you smile for real.

[retellers]

Not sure if I should be wishing you luck on that or not.

[ since it sounds like trouble??? ]

[dawnblushed]

Well, if I actually manage it, it probably won't be that bad, right?

[since in theory they'd be happy, since they'd be smiling.]

[retellers]

Never know. Maybe you'll see it when I see you embarrass yourself.

[ now they're just being a dick ]

[dawnblushed]

Hey!

[MEAN.]

[retellers]

[ does a smirk count as a smile ]

[dawnblushed]

[no]

[retellers]

[ rip ]
