cousin is now video-chatting with whoever this is 'do you see the kitchen? and the stove?' and then turns on one of the burners 'it's clear ceramic' no, buddy, it's glass

and now he's out in the den and the sunroom

I don't even fucking know

clear ceramic omg

RIGHT???

I just, I don't know if he legitimately doesn't know, or if he thinks that sounds more impressive

and I'm also a little D:? Because one of the things I heard was 'it's your fault, you should have declined more forcefully'

but I don't know what it was about? And it worries me, but at the same time I don't think he'd do anything untoward? He's just... awkward

and I know I've said shit like that to friends about innocent things: "I told you to stop me from eating that much popcorn" or etc.

... giving a tour of the bathroom now and I can't tell if it's the one in the master bedroom or the one in the hall because of how fucking loud the acoustics are in his room

okay, his room

because he's rattling off stuff that's not in 'my' bathroom aka the hall bathroom

My first thought is him getting her a gift and her saying no, she didn't need it. (I mean, not knowing your cousin except from what you've said about him)

it's probably something like that, or maybe this house tour

or video call instead of just audio

Ye that was the other thing I was thinking. "no, you don't have to show me the house it's OK." but still. "declined" implies he knew she was saying no, so.... Eesh.

yeah, and like, I always wonder how much of his oversharing is her genuinely asking about things and how much is him just rambling bc he doesn't know how to interact with actual human people

and I'm now reasonably sure that the 'is he a better kisser than me' from before is in regards to a pet, I believe a dog

Funny, but potentially creepy. I guess if she already knows him, she'd think it was funny (hopefully)

yeah, I'm thinking that's what's going on, and I'm pretty sure there's language barrier stuff going on, too, but can't be sure on that
