2Horned:

Cool. How did it go?

It was fine

2Horned:

ANG3L:

Yeah. I mean, it was okay. I had a nice time and he’s nice, but we didn’t have much to talk about so it was a little awkward at times

2Horned:

Absolutely did not want to know that. I’d have rather been slapped in the face. Should I ask her how it was? Congratulate her? How the fuck did I get here?

ANG3L:
