[ every time ishmael talks about verg, his opinion of the man goes down....sorry verg. anyway, give him a few minutes to read over the conversation (and sigh internally). ]
I appreciate the sentiment but there's no need for you to defend me.
[ she doesn't need to be involved (and honestly shouldn't have been in this conversation, in his opinion). ]
He's correct in saying that we conversed regarding Malkuth back when the implants were malfunctioning. I suggested he speak directly to Malkuth about his feelings and he reluctantly agreed. I brought up Malkuth some time later as a joke, though I admit I could have phrased my intentions better.
[ sometimes you ask a man if he likes bare shoulders on women because that's the last conversation you had with his maybe-not-really-who-knows-what's-going-on-there person of interest. ]
He hadn't explicitly stated his discontent at the time, and only did so after I asked about Malkuth a second time - the last time we spoke. I did apologize, though I can only presume it wasn't emphatic enough for his liking. As for his request...I don't believe he has the jurisdiction to order me never to say her name in his presence again. He's your boss, not mine, and I consider Malkuth to be a friend I can freely speak about regardless of what he or you think.
[ though he might keep his distance from her for a bit out of courtesy to verg....F ]
[ can yall shut up about her exposed shoulders already
but wow, he's so thorough. as expected of a guy who has to examine each and every wrongdoing of the prisoners who go in and out of the fortress. but reading the whole thing is making ishmael so exhausted that he could probably hear her heave out a tired sigh irl just now. ]
I... guess? Maybe? Do I have to send along this message too? Why are you even helping him with whatever he has going on with Malkuth?
[ she literally asked to have this conversation right now, she has no one to blame but herself. ]
Just because Vergilius asked you to play messenger doesn't mean I expect the same. You don't need to send along anything.
[ verg can talk to him like a man if he really wants that apology :/ ]
Originally? Because I didn't want to hear his drunken complaining anymore. I may not have much personal experience with relationships but I do know that communication is a key factor in making one work. Though both you and he can rest assured I won't be involving myself any further from here on out.
[ they're gonna have to double date with march and izou instead ]
I did say to talk to me if you ever had any concerns, so...thanks. I appreciate it. [ THEIR GROUND RULES.... ] Though the timing could have been a little better, I admit.
[ he is messing with her, please don't take it too seriously. ]
[ the three of them will have to work together to drag izou w them, i fear ]
I'll work on that. I just know I'm going to be pissy during the day because of the heat, and I just so happened to be scrolling through my messages before going to bed.
As for your question... there is one other thing, but I already disturbed you long enough. It's not that important anyway.
Maybe it's because I'm getting fed up of sleeping in such a cramped space, [ because at least their rooms on the bus have ample room because of hammerspace ] but... i can't wait to get back to base and share a bed with you for a while. We cant really do it heree, so.......
[ the typos are coming in, don't mind her sleepy rambling now. ]
[ don't worry, it's not a fancy dataverse. actually it's just his room back at base, empty and quiet and thankfully devoid of other people. ]
Call it more hands-on learning experience. We don't have anything like this in Fontaine, you know.
[ but that's not why he invited her in here. that particular reason makes itself clear after he motions for her to come a little closer before tugging her into a hug, his arms wrapping solidly around her.
yeah, he just wanted to hold her, so sue him. and maybe it's not the same as an actual in-person hug but it's better than nothing. ]
[ wdym hands on? she'd rather have his actual hands on her right now!! but beggars can't be choosers, and she stumbles a little towards him before embracing him in return, hiding her face in the crook of his neck.
they hold each other like that for a while, and she breaks the silence with an equally sleepy voice. ]
It's frustrating. You're not even that far away from me, and yet...
[ sorry... let her whine a little until she passes tf out ]
[ on one hand, yes absolutely. but otoh, too tired to catch anything right now... she pulls her head away from his beck for a tiny bit just to yawn. ]
I might forget again... I'm going to pin a reminder for when this is all over.
[ makes a pin that's half-coherent and tucks it away in her oculars. ]
I just wish... you don't have to put up a lot of fronts with people all the time. It's okay to... [ another yawn ] let people in every once in a while. Even if it's Vergilius...
his expression shutters at the mention of vergilius, the smile dropping off his face. sorry queen but he has too much trauma for that. but he doesn't say anything right away, choosing instead to stroke her hair a few times before pressing a light kiss against the side of her head. ]
I let you in, didn't I?
[ that's not what she meant but he really doesn't want to talk about this now, especially when she's on the verge of passing out. ]
[ it's not that she's too insecure about it, but she does wonder how she managed to get a guy like him to like her back. truly he sets the bar pretty high for most guys around here.
thanks for the kiss, though. she's going to return it with a short peck on his cheek before giving him a goodbye squeeze. ]
Later.
[ and then she glitches out of his world, a sign that she gradually passes out. goodnight, wriothesley <3 ]
