Ariel Morris nodded in agreement, somewhat regretful, "You can tell she's a good girl at a glance, but alas—aah, Brother Dawn, you're destined to remain single and unable to clear the suspicion of being into guys!"
"..." Dawn Sutherland was helpless, "How do I possibly look like someone who likes men? Why do the rumors never leave me alone?"
"Hmm, maybe it's because you're so exceptional, Brother Dawn. Such an outstanding guy without a girlfriend, not even someone ambiguous—people are bound to suspect you like guys!"
Dawn Sutherland sighed, "So—this is my fault?"
Ariel Morris nodded reasonably, "If you were as much of a player as Nico Haynes, at most people would just say you're flirtatious everywhere, attracting bad romances, and being unfaithful at worst. They wouldn't call you gay!"
Nico Haynes: "... Damn, I've been dragged into this without saying a word? Ariel Morris! You little lass, are you doing this on purpose?!"
