[there there. molly just pauses in the tattoo, reaching over to pull her into a hug, pat patting on the side of the head. the emotion isn't-- well. it's a little condescending. not intentionally! but it's mostly just agreement. girls are just as stupid as boys and everyone in between. everyone is just stupid.]
Don't talk to me that way, please. I'm not a child. I'm simply - well, it doesn't matter. We finally were able to discuss things today and agreed that we have no obligations to one another, which is for the best.
You were agreeing in a manner that makes it sound like you consider it pedestrian.
[It's not teen drama, it is so serious. She'll go quiet for a minute or so, but then just start talking again.]
She would certainly prefer it to be none.
[Bleh. Anyway, it's probably not great in general to have these conversations while you're cursed to be horny.]
It isn't as though I started things, or have been overly pushy, but you wouldn't know it by the way she acts. And then she'll turn around and scold me in a manner I would not tolerate from anyone else because she thinks I'm being dismissive of a threat.
[defensive! he was listening politely to the ranting about the teen drama! going back to tattooing!!!!!]
I'd agree it seems like she's dealing with some shit badly. Lots of people are. Things seem to be wrapping to a close around here. [...] And you were being dismissive of a threat, so she probably should have roasted you about it.
[um, well! there's like. a vibe that's like. yeah i fuckin' get that shit! becuase he gets that shit. you think you're the only one having gay drama harrow? and he just leans around to look her in the eye a bit.]
Sorry if this is an insane suggestion: did you try telling her that? Exactly what you just said to me?
[You can talk about your gay drama if you want, Molly. This is - well, no. Molly is one of the few people she would actually politely listen to about gay drama on any day, if it was actually about something important. But she's especially willing to gossip today?]
No. I decided that I'm going to focus on pursuing all of the girls here, instead of just the one. It will be much more fun that way.
We'll revisit that one tomorrow. I actually don't disagree with the notion you can cast a wider net while you've got the opportunity, but I also think you should say the other thing? Just. While you've got the chance.
I know you're lying, but I'll suspect you're lying less than you want me to believe if you leave it at that. Perhaps Mahito is indicative of your type.
Fuck off! It's really got nothing to do with looks! Conversation is big for me, and there were a few twists there. Anyway, plenty of people are . . . into Despair in a big way, and that's one I don't fucking understand either.
Oh. I get it. I'm not interested, mind, but it makes sense.
[. . .]
He has strong views on certain topics, and we have had many disagreements. He is an intelligent conversationalist and tends to speak his mind bluntly, but respects those who stand up for their own beliefs even if they contradict with his so long as one argues for them with logic.
Also, he is very tall, if that's something you like.
If you ask me, it's a cold heart that can talk up a pretty circle and pretend to care about the things you believe, all while thinking they'd just get rid of you if ever you made the wrong argument or became too much of an inconvenience. Call me illogical or whatnot but I do like to believe you should have some respect for life, even if it's a bit broken or bent.
[A sniff. also note, molly has BARELY spoken to despair. just bit anti-hours vibes here over one handwavey comment about harrow. the stan.]
[Sometimes Molly just. . . says things, and they aren't the things she thinks she believes but they are just obviously right, and she has no counterargument. Her feeling when he says that is just so sad. It's hard to pinpoint why, exactly. It just makes her think of her mother's gentle hands, helping her with a piece of rope.]
I suppose, but I'm not sure I agree with the premise, that that's really what he's like.
Anyway, I'm used to people who are a bit cold. I am a bit cold. It doesn't trouble me in the same way. Coldness can be compassionate, too.
[He pauses, just half a beat, when he feels that sadness? The last thing he wants to do is make her sad when she's like this - it's a little unfair. He doesn't think he's wrong - in fact, the emotion is pretty deeply set in his way about it all - but . . . he does back off.]
I agree on that. It can have its purpose.

[Sigh.]
There's only a short time left, and she and I will likely never see one another again. And that's all right, I think, but.
[Do they have to also not spend time together anymore.]
Whatever. I'm very tired of being concerned about this when there are so many other prospects.
