Hmm, whatever she has going on too, huh? Does she go for the bold play? Too soon? Ugh maybe, but, maybe it's worth it to live a little, this girl's great, this is gonna go great, yeah, for sure. Fuck it. Fuck it. She sits straight up, nerves boil in her chest and she takes a deep breath in... and out. She shuffles her shoulders a bit and lets go of Helena's hand, drumming her fingers on the table a little bit, contemplating for a moment, then turning to Helena and taking a hold of the girl's chin to pull her in and deliver a swift kiss on the lips, her teeth pull on Helena's lips lightly as she pulls away. She switches focus to the waitress that's finally arrived, and orders the agreed upon breadsticks. Once the waitress departs she stretches her arms and looks back at Helena, head perched on her hand once more as she regrabs Helena's.
"Well there's like, some of it. Been savin' that one since the Mass Effect ramble. Uh, hope 's not too much too early."
She avoids eye contact while waiting for the response, putting down her headrest arm and using it to rub her handholding arm, her lips shift, pull in, open and close as she idly thinks about the feeling, felt nice. Not something she's done a whole lot. Definitely not opposed to doing it a lot more.
"You'll get more later. Lot more probably."

Helena pulled her hand back into her lap, feeling a small pang of anxiety fly back into her. She didn’t go too hard did she? Maybe she should have cut the flirt at the end. Helena didn’t mean to make Rozlyn uncomfortable she just-
Helena’s pang of anxiety swiftly shuts up and fucks off when Rozlyn pulls her into a kiss that ends far too soon for Helena. Her hand instantly shoots up to her lips after Rozlyn pulls away, almost as if to check they’re actually real and that did just happen to her. Yep it’s real. The tingle travelling from her lips and down her body is proof enough of that. Guess she didn’t make her uncomfortable then. Good. Really good. Kissing feels good. Helena had imagined but actually feeling it…wow. Helena barely even registers the waitress taking their order, only blinking back to reality as Rozlyn starts talking to her again.
“…You really like me talking huh?” Helena lets out a breathy laugh, having apparently been holding her breath without realising it. “Uh…well…I liked that. Was good. Sorry if any of my uh…lipstick got on you.” Helena squeezed Rozlyns hand again, looking down at the table along with her. Been a while since she’s been this…happy. Giddy. It’s…nice. Especially with the idea of more being floated.
“…You promise?”

Rozlyn instinctively pulls her lips tasting the lipstick, nodding and shrugging, it tastes alright. Maybe it's weird to do that. Well... they're being weird now probably, so, no harm done. She grabs a breadstick and chews on it, then pokes Helena in the mouth with it to offer it to her.
"I mean yeah, we're heading back to your place after this. Promise."
While she waits for Helena to bite the breadstick, she bites onto the other side of it, then a few more times. She's eaten a large chunk of breadstick already.
"This breadstick fucks, get some before I eat the whole thing."
She prods Helena's mouth with the breadstick a couple times with half a smile

Helena lets out another giggle, trying not to let her mind wander too much again. She then picked up a breadstick for herself, about to bite into it when her mouth was poked by Rozlyns. She turned to see what Rozlyn was doing before immediately turning away, looking out the window for a moment. Her heart was not prepared for Rozlyn to be this cute so soon after the first kiss. Especially in public. She’s pretty sure they’re gonna end up making some people leave. Yet…she kinda doesn’t care. That’s a first.
Sure that her heart isn’t going to explode just from the sight, Helena turned back to Rozlyn just in time for her to tell Helena how much it fucks and poke her in the mouth again. With a small sigh and a bigger smile Helena drops her own breadstick. “Okay but…you’re fault if we get kicked out.” Helena then reaches her free hand up to lightly caress the side of Rozlyns face before crashing her lips onto her and enveloping what was left of the breadstick. She let the very messy kiss linger for just a second before biting down on what was left of the breadstick and pulling back with it in her mouth. “Wow…these are pretty good.” Helena gave Rozlyn a thumbs up, her face burning up as her brain catches up to what she just did. Her eyes move down to stare at the table for a moment as she swallows the rest of the breadstick. “…Did I do that right? Cause I uh…I just kinda assumed…you know.”

"Only gettin' kicked out i—MFFH!"
Rozlyn stares wide-eyed at Helena in confusion, hell her expression could be mistaken for anger. This girl really just did that, whole-ass, well, most of, a breadstick, all at once, what the hell?! ...She'd better do it again at some point. Roz's hand covers her mouth in her surprise and her gaze falls downward. She points at Helena and her hand wiggles a little as she plots out her words, then once she has them her head raises back up.
"...There's some girls who'd really dig that, y'know? And uh... yeah. Sure did."
She picks up the breadstick that Helena put down and wiggles it at her with a small grin.
"You gonna do it again?"
She sticks her tongue out to tease before stealing a bite of the breadstick, then stealing another, glaring at the breadstick for committing the heinous crime of being delicious, how dare it.
"God these are so fucking good, what the fuuuck... did they put fuckin'... crack in 'em?!"

Helena let out a chuckle, the desperately attempting to rise anxiety floating off with it. “You know if you eat too many you’re gonna spoil your appetite.” Helena reaches up and bits the end of the breadstick off in between sentences, mostly because these things are actually pretty good even without the kissing excuse. Wonder if there’s a way to make these at home? “Especially with pasta. Lotta carbs in that.” Helena then waits a little bit, swallowing the bit of breadstick she took until Rozlyns gotten rid of just enough for her to pull Rozlyn back towards her and kiss her again.
Helena lingered a little bit longer this time. Turns out when her confidence and gay levels are spiking she gets pretty hungry. But still she eventually bit down and took the rest of the breadstick away along with her lips, chewing it up and swallowing it. “But yeah obviously I’m gonna do it again. Some things are uh…well worth ruining your appetite for.” Helena looks back down at the remaining breadsticks as she speaks, picking another one up and twirling it in her fingers idly. “Also…these things do kinda fuck huh?”

Rozlyn takes a breadstick and eats it on her own, watching Helena twirl her own. She shrugs and prods Helena's cheek before taking another bite, not offering this breadstick though.
"I'll eat as many of these as I damn well please. Cuz yeah, they fuck hard!"
(Heh, us)
She slows down a little, a bit of self-consciousness hitting her as she stares at the few breadsticks left. She gently nudges them towards Helena as she chews on her current one quietly.
"Don't uh... lemme stop you from havin' more though."
She continues to nibble on the breadstick as she leans back and surveys the inside of the restruant before returning her gaze towards Helena.
"Mm... wonder if there's a way to make these at home. Should be right? 'S just bread."

Helena stops twirling her breadstick, looking over at Rozlyn with a small smile on her face. “Fair. They do uh…fuck hard.” Helena let out a soft laugh before biting off the end of her breadstick. These are pretty good. Maybe she didn’t have ordered pasta. Could be a lethal combination. Ah well. Worse things to do to your body.
Helena took another bite of her breadstick, nodding at Rozlyn when she pushed the breadsticks over to Helena. She’s really sweet. Mom probably would have liked her. Assuming…well it’s probably not a good idea to think about that right now. Instead Helena took another bite of her breadstick, joining Rozlyn in looking around the restaurant. Shes not actually been to that many restaurants before. Especially after mom passed away. Not the kinda place she’d enjoy going alone. Cooking at home is way more fun than sitting in a noisy big building. But with good company and good breadsticks…it’s not too bad. Even if that old couple staring at them a few tables away is starting to make her self conscious again. Guess they’re not a fan of affectionate gay people. Best to ignore them and hope they don’t go any further. Though that won’t do much for the slowly refilling anxiety pool they’ve set off.
Helena looks away from them and back at Rozlyn when Rozlyn speaks, more than happy to have the distraction. “Oh definitely. You know I uh…I’m actually a kinda okay cook. I was just thinking I could make these myself. It’s probably slightly more complicated than bread and I don’t know if they added anything yet but can’t be too hard to work it out. Maybe I could get you to be my taste tester when I try.”

This is nice, Rozlyn hasn't really felt this much at ease in years, she's of course still a little wary, mostly of people around them, but she's never stopped feeling that way, it's normal. She listens to Helena and nods subtly, a small small smile creeping onto her face. This is a success, it's not over, but it is. She's talking to somebody, going out in public, being affectionate. Maybe being social isn't the worst, but maybe that's calling it too early. Plenty of people still suck ass.
"Aha, uh, yeah I'd be down to do taste tests, I'm sure you're like, better than I am. Dad's tried to help me learn how to cook but I just... ehhh?"
She shrugs, shaking her head and finishing off her current breadstick.
"Not, like, not really my kinda thing I guess? Dunno, just doesn't click I guess."
Rozlyn watches Helena eat, most engaging thing around... maybe that's mean to think, it just feels a little weird to watch somebody eat.
"Sooo uh, what've you got goin' on? What's life like for Carpet Girl?"

Helena stuffed the rest of her breadstick, just under half of it left, into her mouth. Is that a weird way to eat breadsticks? Helena’s never really thought about it before. Rozlyn seemed surprised but they were also mid-kiss at the time so might have been unrelated. She’ll just push that away for now and think about it when she tries to sleep at night. “It’s not for everyone. My dad is terrible at cooking. Without my mom he was just microwaving meals for us until I learned how to cook properly. Still at least he was trying. Better than I was doing.” Helena let out a sigh. Funny how casually the bad times still seep back into her life. Never seems to matter how good she’s doing. It’s always there to remind her how bad it can be.
“…Anyway uh yeah not much honestly. My dad’s been really busy but also pretty excited that I have friends now. Been…alone for a while now. But now I have you and I have Abby. Oh un Abby is my friend who I met when I wrecked that shelf. The one I told you about over text. She did my makeup for me! She’s really nice.” Helena picked up another breadstick, idly twirling it again as she talked. “Abby’s religious though so…not sure if she’d like me doing this. I’m nervous to ask her if she’s uh…okay with this kinda stuff. Bad way to lose your first friend.” Helena’s thoughts turn to the old couple again. It’s so easy to replace their faves with Abby’s. Either her dad’s. With her mom’s. A roulette of who would hate her the most for being herself. Bad thoughts.
“Gah sorry you asked what I was doing and I just started talking about a completely different person.” Helena lets out a small nervous laugh, her brain actively trying to strangle her for fucking up again. “I just uh…don’t think I’m very interesting I guess. All I’ve done is play video games and uh…think about you I guess. I’d talk about what I’ve been playing but I think I probably tired you out on Mass Effect already heh. Um…what about you? Doing anything cool?”

(If your friend wants to start shit I'm good to knock her upside the head)
...Is that a good thought to voice though? Is that something you should say in this situation? If your girlfriend was incredibly socially anxious and her only other friend might have a problem with you, do you fight for her or grit your teeth and smile? It's an incredibly hard question to answer, on paper if somebody's got a problem with you then you either deal with yourself or them, and Rozlyn is quite the proponent of dealing with them. This... might be a situation where it's best to get the introduction over with as soon as possible and feel it out from there. She takes a breadstick and gestures at Helena with it.
"Hey don't keep your friend from me, I'll make sure they know I'm a part of it now, don't care what they think. And like, talk about your shit, I vibe with that. But uhhh, as for what I'm up to, if ya really wanna know..."
She frowns and grunts half-heartedly, tapping the breadstick against her mouth in a particular rhythm.
"Not much really, like I don't think you wanna hear about my school shit, it's just classes."
Her eyes widen a very small amount, a droplet of inspiration. She pokes Helena with the breadstick, wearing a sly smile.
"Unless like you wanted to hear about all the girls I put in headlocks and stuff their faces into their own asses."
A small laugh, tapping Helena on the nose with the breadstick before biting it and lowering her head slightly.
"Nah not actually allowed to do that. Totally could though. Dunno, maybe you might luck out and get yours shoved into a different ass."
(That's dumb, that's stupid, who came up with that, I did, I'm dumb, I'm stupid.)
(She probably digs it though.)
(Score.)

Helena almost instinctively takes a bite out of the breadstick being poked against her mouth. It’s a good breadstick sue her. But as she munched away at it while twirling her own still untouched breadstick around Helena’s thoughts drifted again. Firstly to some very interesting thoughts about wrestling and Rozlyn’s ass that she’ll have to pack away for later. Secondly though…Rozlyn meeting Abby.
The idea of it is both exciting and kinda terrifying. Would Rozlyn be aggressive with Abby if she’s not cool with this? Would they get along even if Abby is cool with this? What if they both hate each other and make Helena choose! That’s probably not going to happen though. That’s just an anime trope. Right? Ugh no point worrying about all that now. Can’t avoid it though. Rozlyn is hopefully a part of Helena’s life now. Eventually she’ll have to tell Abby and her dad. Especially since they aren’t exactly hiding it in public. Better to hear it from her than whoever is watching them through the window. Still…the cold pit of dread in her stomach makes the process seem very unappealing. Let’s just park it over there for now and deal with it later. Something else to keep her up at night.
“…Goes both ways. Anyway uh I wouldn’t mind hearing you talk about…well anything honestly. I really like listening to you. Plus I don’t know much about wrestling. I’ve watched some anime’s about wrestling but uh I imagine it’s different in the real sport. Probably don’t jump off the corner thing with a guy fully upside down on your shoulder heh.” Helena looked back at her breadstick for a second, then back at Rozlyn. “That’s not a thing right?”

Rozlyn stares at the partially eaten breadstick in her hand, her expression almost offended. She chomps on it as she listens to Helena talk, man, she should definitely get around to watching more things, sounds like she's missing out. She laughs a little and shakes her head.
"Uhh not really, at least like, definitely not the school stuff, that's all feet on the ground pushin' and shovin'. The jumpin' off shit and steel chairs is all like, performance stuff. Not shit you do unless it's like, the point of the match."
She finishes off the last breadstick, just in time for the waitress to return to get their orders. She double checks the menu to remember what she wanted. She flips through while verbally stalling for an extended amount of time, their conversation had really derailed her train of thought.
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah, the uh, chicken and shrimp sounds fine. And uh..."
Roz flails her fingers at Helena then looks up at her.
"You uhh, were lookin' at the alfredo broccoli chicken whatever I think, right?"

Helena had gone back to staring at what was apparently the most interesting breadstick in the world, happy to let Rozlyn do the ordering for her. Talking to strangers wasn’t really her thing. Honestly it’s a miracle she’s doing this well with Rozlyn. Helena was pretty sure she’d have broken down and ran for the hills by now. But hey the days still young. Always time to ruin her life forever.
Helena had gotten so distracted by this breadstick thinking time that she didn’t register the question at first, her eyes instead drifting between Rozlyn and the waitress before her head caught up with her. “Uh…oh yeah sorry. The uh alfredo broccoli chicken thing. Thanks.” Helena looked back at her breadstick as the waitress left, finally taking a bite out of it. “You know for a second there I kinda forgot we had other food coming. My head had gone somewhere else completely.” Helena takes another bite out of her breadstick. “Kinda stupid considering we’re eating. I’m really dumb sometimes.” Helena laughed a little. It was a joke after all. One that reflecting a little bit of her actual feelings but joke nonetheless.

Rozlyn considers this assertion. She rubs her thumb against her nails, should she be honest even though it's a little mean?
"Sure but like if you're stupid you're probably good at something else then."
(Blunt like a sledgehammer)
She shrugs and watches Helena's face, gaze targetted towards the spot between the nose and upper lip, it's easier than eye contact. She pauses and shakes her head, hand moving onto Helena's shoulder, gently shaking her. Damage control time, hopefully, maybe, is it necessary? Ehh, maybe not but you can't go wrong trying to correct yourself right.
"...I mean like, you've... shown you're like... good with, uh... lore and shit. Hella good reading comp."

"...Whatcha thinkin' about? Full honesty, couldn't give a shit if it's your math homework, the body you buried in your yard, or a horde of your heartthrobs in bikinis, lemme hear it."
"Sure but like if you're stupid you're probably good at something else then."
