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?

[bowtography]

It's not predictability, it's reliability!

[frostfist]

You said it yourself, I'm reliable when it counts.

[ he might be paraphrasing a little. ]

But speaking of things on a predictable and set schedule, think we have room in our dance lessons for one more person?
