[ Doreen is so earnestly dorky that she has passed through Uncoolness and gone straight out to the other side, where the only person who gets to decide how cool you are is you! Give it a couple more years, Fabian, you'll get there. ]

... Yeah, I think so. Next time we run into each other, we're bringin' it in! The hug train is pulling into the station!

[ sometimes the dorkiness does overpower it though, NGL ]

[ This is dorky. So dorky. Incredibly dorky.

But Doreen has hit just the right notes with Fabian before, which means she can get away with it. It's a very exclusive position, Doreen, make sure to hold onto it! Especially since Fabian calls even his years long friends nerds sometimes..

Even though he does have to protest just a bit, sounding slightly embarrassed: ]

Does it have to be called a hug train?

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

[ listen, Doreen would take being called a nerd as a compliment! nerds are cool! ]

Choo choo!

... Nah, I kid. A hug is a hug, no matter what it's called! Although I guess a hug train would imply more than two people, so it's a bit off, semantically.

It's just-- It's better when it's not called a hug train, okay!

[ Don't try to intimidate him with that 'choo choo'!

... mostly because it'd actually work! There's nothing scarier to Fabian Seacaster than seeming uncool. (Or sexy rats.) ]

That makes it sound like I'm a little kid. Which I am most certainly not! I am a grown adult who just enjoys getting and giving encouragement to friends through hugs! [ Please, Fabian, you're barely 18.

And you act even younger than it. ]

Gotcha, gotcha! I concede your point, and you're right, hugs are great!

[ Man, Doreen remembers what it was like to be a teenager who's trying so damn hard to be cool, especially to adults! It felt like being a raw nerve, she does not miss those days. ]
