Yeah. I was...pretty mad at the time, but Charles told me the person who did it had no idea we were even gone. I can kind of see the point, but it was still bad at the time.
He's diplomatic that way. [ fond. ] Sometimes I wish he'd let himself be a little more mad but I think he knows he doesn't want to be. Plus we already have a lot of other reasons to be mad on this ship anyway.
He's levelheaded so he might, but I've been making it a point to check on him every weekend at least once or twice anyway. He's been losing a lot of friends lately, too. The most we can do at this point is...you know. The whole "support each other" thing. Even if we're not all great at it.
I was wondering about that. [ ... ] Thank you. For doing it even if it was originally just to be there for him. It probably helps having somebody else around.
Yeah, I usually go see the people we catch to try and talk them through their thought process and figure out the affliction so I just went to see Rosamund. I didn't entirely agree with Bradley's method either, and I've never spoken to him.
[ ... ] There's a high chance this weekend is going to be someone we all like anyway. So there's that. You and Charles are going to need each other.
[ yeah. yeah, he's right there, too, constantly spending most of his waking hours worried something's going to happen to mizuki where he can't save her. not that he can do much like this, but in general. and even besides her, there are so many people he doesn't want to lose.
...what a mess. ]
...then we can think about something else. [ a light segue. and then he decides to be a shithead solely to try and ease the mood. ] Like who the second person you mentioned was that isn't Arthur or Rodya.
Um. Not negatively, I guess? [ let's not be surprised gregor shot his shot a few times. ] ...Io's not a bad person either, but I'm actually sort of impressed. And also not surprised it went better, considering.
Okay, maybe less impressed. [ a light joke. ] Obviously it's going to go better the second time if you just ignore it afterwards. But...you know. Whatever's comfortable.
Oh. Okay, so, not as bad as I thought. [ and still none of his business, shockingly, but it's just a thing he's thinking... ] Wait was that because of the weird affection thing we were all hit with?
[ friendship means he will not outright call him a bottom. ]
I'm not used to this whole thing, give me a bit. [ and also give him a bit because he's coughing up rust again, a little longer and a little more than previously. he has given up thinking he can wear shirts without them getting greasy this week.
but with that said, he's letting that swirl around in his head. ]
...thinking last week kind of helped a lot of people in similar ways. At least when it came to expressing stuff. And anyway it's Io. It wouldn't end bad either way it went.

I had to skip last weekend, I was too frustrated with Bradley to be sure I wouldn't kill the mood, but. I'll be there again this time.
