Both! I haven't edited the next chapter yet. I will tell you, though, that I generally don't write tragedies. ;3

'Aw, shucks,' is an expression that means, 'surely that's not true, I'm flattered,' that someone might say after being given a compliment. It's another idiomatic expression.
Blushing is when someone's face flushes pink, either after embarrassment or being given a comliment.

Thanks. I really appreciate your help. I love retro things and expressions. Well... portuguese isn't quite easy too, we have a lot of similar or equal words with a lot of meanings. But yeah... this idiomatic and informal things we just learn speaking with natives, isn't 'polite' to teach this in formal courses or schools... Again thanks a lot. Love you stories and your attentions I learning a lot with you <3

Please don't be embarrassed, it's slang/idiomatic. It means, 'Glad you think it's cool/glad you like it/glad you are into it.' It comes from the verb, to dig, as in, when one digs a hole in the ground with a shovel. Just as you can dig into the ground, you can 'dig' into a subject or something you think is cool. The expression was more common in the 70s I believe, it's sort of 'retro'-slang.
I use a lot of slang and curse words, so never be embarrassed to ask me what a word or expression means. English, especially American English, is an extremely challenging language to learn, and I applaud you for doing so well already. <3
@smutty pariah
Sorry... but what means dig it? I never read/heard this before... (Sorry, I don't have much experience talking with someone who really speaks english, I just talk with people which have english as second language.)
@Maladaptive
Thanks man, I like to write prologues in third person. I'm thinking I'll switch back to first for the body of the story, however, as I feel that it's a lot more intimate with whosoever's POV the story is being told from. I'm still a bit on the fence about it, we shall see! Thoughts?
@Underworld's Heiress
Hahaha! Hopefully not!
