[ can't believe they never got to talk about romance 🥺....... ]

More seriously, while I appreciate your efforts, if there's anything I've learned it's that people will talk no matter what as long as there's something remotely interesting to talk about.

You're better off starting some other rumor if you want them to stop making bets about me.

[bowtography]

Talking about it is fine but betting on it...?
I'd rather not start up any other rumors about other people but
Oh wait
Actually yeah Astarion and Winter would be all over that actually never mind

[frostfist]

There you go. Problem solved.

[bowtography]

Anyway if that rumor's true
You're terrible at romantic talk
Or you just don't trust me I guess

[frostfist]

I have a hard time trusting most people.

But if you're referring to the rumor about myself and Ishmael, neither of us were fully ourselves that day. I wouldn't ascribe any deep romantic meaning to it.

[ sometimes a rift makes you go crazy and you make out with your coworker??? it's fine. ]

[bowtography]

If you're talking about what happened with the rift I just thought it made people angry and headachey, not
That

[frostfist]

You don't think people can make poor decisions while headachey and under duress?

[bowtography]

I mean yeah there was kinda a fight but
Does that really count as a poor decision?
Was it that bad?

[frostfist]

[ there is a





substantial pause

as he tries to figure out how to phrase what he wants to say. ]

I would have preferred different timing.

[bowtography]

[ An even more substantial pause]

Oh
Well
You should have more of a say in timing now, right?

[frostfist]

Ideally. Though I think the best case scenario is that it doesn't happen again any time soon.

[bowtography]

[ ... Wow, that sure is probably not a sentence anyone who made out with him would want to hear?? ]

Why? It doesn't sound like you hated it.

[frostfist]

I didn't. [ JUST TO BE CLEAR. ] But there are things I'd like to discuss first with Ishmael.

[ like just what exactly they are right now............... ]

[bowtography]

[ A valid thing to discuss, brackets... ]

Oh. Like "this wasn't just a passionate, spur-of-the-moment thing, we should talk about it" kind of stuff?

[frostfist]

Got it in one. Melodrama is all well and good in novels and stageplays, but I'd prefer to minimize it in my personal life as much as possible.

[bowtography]

Yeah, it's really only fun when it's fictional, huh?
I can at least trust you to talk properly to a girl

[frostfist]

[ ? ]

Do you not trust other people here?

[bowtography]

I have a hard time trusting most people [ callback! ]

But believe me, I've had to tell a few people already that they messed up
So no
My hopes aren't high

[frostfist]

[ what is going on out there on the hit soap opera Days of Our Synflux............. ]

I'll do my best not to disappoint you then.

[bowtography]

You may be a bully to me waaaaay more than you should
But you're a good guy when it counts
So it's probably fine

[frostfist]

Can I really be blamed for it when you make it so easy?

[ this is victim blaming ]

But thanks. I'll let you know how it goes.

[bowtography]

[ This is victim blaming!!! ]

Will you
Really
Aren't you just gonna punk me again

[frostfist]

Hey, I was honest with you this time, wasn't I?

[ he could have just left her on read!!! ]

[bowtography]

[ She would have just hunted him down in-person!! ]

Your track record still isn't that great, you know

[frostfist]

What fun is there to be had if I'm predictable all the time?
