Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[axingnicely]

Well... I didn't treat you very kindly.... and I was something of a bother, I think.

[ both sides. even though angery melody basically just said nice things about lethe in an aggressive way ]

How are you feeling now?

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[mykidisthebest]

You were fine. I was...pretty blunt with you, and I shouldn't have been. So we can call it even.

[sets aside whatever food prep he is working on; its probably noodles tbh]

I'm feeling back to my old self. I bounce back quickly from that kind of stuff. What about you? Are you feeling okay after everything?

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[axingnicely]

Oh, I don't mind that. I'm sure I was very frustrating to deal with. And you did invite me to live with you....

[ which is sweet but also a bit embarrassing. but i'm waiting on one specific thread to know her emotional state so they'll circle back ]

I'm glad..... it is, ah.... unexpected, how much losing one emotion can change one's personality so drastically... it was a bit startling in some cases... [ vash. ]

[inclines his head a little in acknowledgement; he is not taking back the offer or waving it off as something said in the heat of the moment. his brother might kill him if he brings home any more stray kids but that is Future Lethe's problem]

Oh, I don't know. Even without an emotion you could still tell it was them. Even if both pieces of you had looked different, I bet I could have figured out it was you. It was the same for everyone.

[axingnicely]

[ dw she will not end up going home with him, she's just very touched by the offer ]

I suppose.... In my case, that is true. I think in your case, as well.... both sides of you couldn't stop yourselves from trying to help others.

[ she means it affectionately ]

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[mykidisthebest]

To be fair, I was dragged into most of what I ended up doing.

But, since I have you here, let's have a chat, hmm?

[he is going to dig out a little bit of ice cream from the freezer, this feels like a good ice cream chat]

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[axingnicely]

If you say so....

[ a hint of a smile, though ]

... What would you like to chat about?

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[mykidisthebest]

The ritual, of course. Your anger had some interesting things to say.

[sorry melody, he cares again, you're in trouble]

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[axingnicely]

Ah..... please don't put too much stock in those things... I, was, ah, acting out, you could say.

[ yeah she's in trouble ]

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[mykidisthebest]

Which part of you was acting out, then? Both of you, or just one?

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[axingnicely]

Just one. I apologize if I worried you...

[ they don't have to talk about it!! ]

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[mykidisthebest]

[we're gonna talk about it. you should've seen this coming!! he does pass her a bowl of ice cream though]

Which one was it again? My memory is a little fuzzy.

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[axingnicely]

[ nooooooo ]

Lethe-san....

... I truly apologize for the way I acted. Please don't pay it any concern.

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[mykidisthebest]

It's too late. I'm paying it concern. I'm afraid you'll have to answer my questions before I can accept any kind of apology.

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[axingnicely]

[ letheeeeee... droops a little bit ]

Alright, what do you want to discuss?

[ there was, uh, a lot of concerning behavior from both melodies probably ]

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[mykidisthebest]

I already asked, didn't I? You said only one of you was acting out. I wanted to know which one you thought it was.

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[axingnicely]

... My angry side. She was, ah, very blunt about things.

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[mykidisthebest]

You think so? Being blunt isn't a bad thing. I felt like I knew exactly where I stood with her.

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[axingnicely]

Do you feel as though you don't know where you stand with me...?

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[mykidisthebest]

No, I think I know where I stand. But I don't think that's the same for everyone else if you're bottling things up, you know?

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[axingnicely]

[ avoiding his eyes a little bit ]

I don't wish to cause more stress to people....

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[mykidisthebest]

I know. You're a smart young lady who tries not to trouble the people around you. But I'm sure you also know that it's worse to keep things bottled up. If you talk about things in the moment, as they upset you, it's easier to work them out. That's not stressful. It's building good relationships.

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[axingnicely]

... I know... you're right, Lethe-san. It's... just... difficult, for me to bring these things up, in general, but.... with my flock, there's always so much going on...

[ but she has always had trouble asserting herself ]

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[mykidisthebest]

I think they'd listen if you spoke up. I know speaking up in the middle of a mess is intimidating...but you shouldn't just keep quiet. I don't know if I have a good solution, though.

Re: a reasonable amount of time after the kiss game

[axingnicely]

No... I think you're right. The only way for them to know is for me to tell them... but, ah, I don't want them to feel guilty either. I just feel as though I don't fit in well.
