Fine, then it's neither of our fault. No one has any reason to be upset.

I dunno if that's how it works.

It's a nice thought.

[Pushes over a mixed drink to her.]

I'll... I'll talk to him again. Once he's had some time to calm down.

[He stares down at his hands... and then slowly shakes his head.]

I ... don't think ya gotta.

Why not?

Things are over. And havin' talked to him, maybe they should be. I aint-

He knows me better than anyone, you know? Anyone.

But... you guys love each other.

[Oh that's it. That's what does it. It hits him in the heart like a truck and he blinks rapidly, looking away.]

I do love him. So much it fucking hurts. But I hurt him. Might... Been hurting him for a while.

[she considers what yingxing said happened between the two. should she ask brocade about it?

no, that will probably just hurt him even more]

...I'm sorry.

Yeah. Me too.

Did he talk to ya? Bout the stuff he was 'pposed to?

He really didn't want to.

Uuuugh. THAT IDIOT.

... Look so, he been tryin' real hard to pretend it aint happenin' to him.

I think he's worried about- Well, about losin' ya now that he's got ya.

Does he, though? I mean, do we have each other?

I feel like I don't know him at all. Like he doesn't even want me to.

So... you two don't talk much?

We really don't.

[That sucks. That really sucks. He hates it.

He hates it more that he 10000000000000% understands because he may have done that to his OWN sister and-]

Y'know. I'm realizing I don't know you all that well neither.

Can't do shit about that.

But... would like t'be friends. Even with all this goin' on.

[she nods silently and finally takes a sip of her drink]

[Does he even know how to be a good friend? He's not sure anymore.

... Fuck it. He wants to try.

He fishes 20 beer nuts out of the snack bowl and puts them between them.]

Favourite color?

[And puts a finger on one and drags it over to his side of the table.]

Purple.

Favourite animal besides cats?

[grabs a nut]

Actually? I fucking LOVE dogs.

Do you know how t'play any instruments?

[Another nut. ]

Edited 2024-10-24 11:55 (UTC)

I learned a bit of piano when I was little, but I doubt I'd remember how to play anymore.

Favourite food?

[another nut]

Did ya-

Wait! Okay okay. EGGS. Bro you got no idea. They're the PERFECT PROTEIN. and so many good ways t'make em. Straight up better than taters, no lie.

AND BACK did ya like playing?

Hehe, eggs are pretty nice.

I liked it well enough, but I didn't like having to practice a lot.

Favourite way to make eggs?

Devilled. I don't get it usually cuz too many carbs but. Dude.

[He puts a finger on one of the nuts and... ]

How did ya find yer faith?

[for the second time recently, he'll see the smile drop from her face like a mask falling off. normally she'd be able to bullshit an answer easily, but today? after being directly reminded of things?]

I... that's sort of a tough question.
