Okay.

[heading in! to the kitchen!]

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ just quietly following him in and starting to set the ingredients out, setting the kombu aside since that's got to get soaked first ]

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

[spreading the snacks across the kitchen table and flopping into a chair]

[ tying her hair back first of all and grabbing an apron and then getting on in there after her hands are washed, chopping up the monkfish


after a bit of prep time, she murmurs ]

... Um, about the favor...

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

Yeah?

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

... Can you - ... whenever you talk to him . . .

... When you talk to him, is it okay if... ... if I ask you to apologize to him for me, is that okay...?

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

...

Depends on what you want to apologise for.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

... What do you mean?

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

I mean if you want to apologise for the fact that you haven't been able to talk to him because you haven't been okay, I won't pass that on.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ flinches ]

- Um, that... why not...

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

Because you shouldn't apologise for something that's not your fault.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

But it - it is my fault, so...

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

How is it your fault?

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

I followed him, and I let everything happen, so -

[ getting the base started up, putting some of the liver in a pot and letting it take on a bit of a char ]

It's my fault.

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

So what happened to me is also my fault, huh. That's kinda harsh.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

- That's not true! You didn't...

[ a pause, as if sort of recognizing his point in there ]

... It isn't the same.

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

What's different about it.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

I - I asked him to... other than looking a little more like Luci, he didn't use any magic like you said - he didn't do anything like that, so - it's my fault.

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

What do you think would've happened if you'd tried to stop him?

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

... I don't know. He said -

If I wanted to reject him, then he said that he'd let me leave, but I didn't...

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

[without any hesitation]

He was lying.

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

[ just recoils like she's been physically injured ]

That's not - ...

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

He would've said anything to make us feel like shit and to hurt Ruler. And it worked, didn't it?

Re: day 185 evening

[constellationprize]

I felt... I was okay. I just -

I wanted to understand him more, so he helped me. There wasn't...

[ a shaky inhale, as she adds the kombu broth into the pot, mixing everything ]

... And I'm okay now too, so - it's okay, isn't it...? I just - ... because I was helping someone, I wasn't able to be with him for our anniversary, and even if I want to see him - ... even if I want to see him, I can't let him see me like this, so -

If you're going to see him, then I want you to apologize to him for me. That's...

. . . That's all.

Re: day 185 evening

[avestan]

Dia. What did that guy do to you.
