-Dion?

[i, teej, saw those tags but gregor? oblivious.]

[egodist]

[helpppp]

I'll probably still force him to take a vacation, but he's insistent on finding ways to help as soon as he makes it to Arpéchéle....

[verminous]

Makes it to-- he's going with you?

Does Dahut know?

[egodist]

Yes and yes.

[though now he’s cluing in that Gregor is Very Surprised and he can’t help but be amused]

Does this come as a shock?

[verminous]

Yes, it does! I thought he'd need to... I didn't think you would...

[egodist]

Feel free to finish your sentences.

[verminous]

How am I supposed to after you went and dropped that on me, Scien!

[egodist]

[he's just openly laughing]

I didn't realize my love life was this grand of a surprise.

[verminous]

I just didn't expect you to have one...

[egodist]

Fair enough, I didn't either.

But in the end, I am a man who isn't the type to sit still when I find something or someone I want.

[verminous]

Apparently not...

[he figured dion was too much of the responsible noble type? damn... dion give him pointers on how not to go hom tbh]

I, ah, guess that worked out pretty well for you.

[egodist]

It did.

[very decisively. scien is absurdly content in his relationship how did this happen there is no justice]

And you? Weren't you in some trial phase with one of the Senior Crew or something? Though I noticed Ragnvindr's been kicked out of your room for the week...

[HELP HELP HELP]

[verminous]

The week!? I only asked him for a night!

[wait. no he didn't mean to admit to that

fuck]

A-anyway, that was just... a misunderstanding, with Artemy, I thought he understood what I was offering when he agreed and I... didn't realize that he didn't.

[egodist]

[he

is

laughing so hard]

Oh no.

[WHY IS HE STILL LAUGHING]

[verminous]

What's so funny!

[THE EMBARRASSMENT HE HAS SUFFERED OVER HAVING TO TELL PEOPLE HE WAS JUST WRONG]

[egodist]

Did he figure it out? Or is your chastity still reluctantly intact?

[don't jUST ASK PEOPLE IF THEY'RE VIRGINS, SCIEN]

[verminous]

Yes, we figured out what was going on over a week ago, it barely lasted a week, why do you think we'd have-- he only thought of me as a friend, why would I have slept with him?

[HE DID NOT FUCK A SENIOR CREWMEMBER WHO REJECTED HIM C'MON]

[egodist]

[wh

what????

what????????????

scien is just tilting his head now lost]

Rewind.

Start from the beginning.

[verminous]

Starting from the beginning is worse.

[egodist]

I'm not saying it to be mean for once, I'm trying to understand what happened to you.

[verminous]

...well, the situation I think you were referencing is... separate from me asking Diluc to-- how'd you know about that, anyway?

[ANYWAY.]

But. The week I killed Owner, I'd sort of... ended up kissing Artemy the weekend right before. Didn't talk about it for a few days. We discussed it, we both knew we'd most likely have to go home in the end here so he said he couldn't give me much, I-- well, what I was trying to offer was just... having something between us temporarily, while we were both here. I thought he took me up on it.

That lasted about a week before we figured out we... were on different pages, and I'm just a friend he cares about. Didn't realize friends like that kissed, but that's a digression...

[egodist]

I haven't slept in my room since the first night here, Ragnvindr and I were bound to cross paths.

[just two dudes sleeping in the observation deck five feet apart because they're both gay but currently unavailable to pursue romantic relations with each other

but.

wow.]

.... should we get a drink?

[scien thinks they should get a drink]

[verminous]

Yeah. Yeah, we should.

[he would LOVE to continue this over a drink if it's gonna be like this.]

[egodist]

[truly

such a 'that's rough buddy'

scien will pat his shoulder and just bring his work with him on his IRIS as they walk]

You were unfairly misled.

[he'll just give his opinion for free]

[verminous]

[to the bar!]

Well, if there was a miscommunication then I probably could've been clearer.

[unfortunately he will still not put the blame on artemy even if he wonders how the man did not get it when gregor continued kissing him.]

It's-- fine. Like I said, we figured it out while I was still dead.
