#but also knowing g will never agree with whiz no matter how much evidence there is

Whiz laughs at Richard's addition about getting dick but still being up for moaning about the Bartlett-Diaz siblings, who really are emotionally unavailable. "They do have that in common, don't they?" He asks with an amused grin. "Nothing new, no. Not since we went out at the start of the semester," he answers Richard with a sigh, though he's less disappointed now that a couple weeks have gone by. "Well, after she told me she doesn't want to date in the public eye and she's not sure she's ready for anything serious I invited her for coffee a couple times, just to keep in touch, you know?" It felt like a dick move to just never ask her to hang out again because she wasn't interested in dating him, but Whiz also didn't want her to feel like he expected anything. Coffee felt like a safe choice, a casual hangout on campus. "But it's been about a week and she hasn't reached out since last time, which tells me she's not that interested in just talking with me either," he says with another sigh.

Richard is relieved when that's that. No more talk about asking Cora. No talk about maybe's. Just acceptance. Maybe he's making a huge mistake but he's grateful to Whiz for letting him make it without commentary. It's not surprising to find out Whiz isn't actively trying for greener pastures. Whiz is more of a monogamous sort of bloke then a play the field. Even if right now his attention is taken by somone not emotionally available. "Understandable," he replies, disappointed for Whiz. "Guess there hasn't been anything new on the May front either?" It's a shame they're both going through it in some way with the siblings. "For what it's worth, I might be getting dick but I'm still happy to get drunk and moan about the emotionally unavailable Bartlett-Diaz siblings," he offers. He's not going to be getting that aspect of things. Which is for the best and expected. But maybe it'll be enough to not drop their moan fests all together.
