[if mineo texted molly in the middle of him banging then neither he nor i want to know. he's just going to wander over then, plopping down to sit next to him immediately even if he's not putting his feetsies in the koi pond]
Yeah? That's good. A week-long curse is a doozy - especially one that can mess with your feelings like that...
[he's pretty unhappy with it??? but he seems relieved that molly is okay now - even if there's hints of worry still around his eyes]
[he wasn't banging!!!!!!!!! molly just leans back on his hands a bit, tail thumping at the ground the only sign that he's not. like. totally relaxed at the moment.]
... Look. I won't say I haven't messed with people's heads on my own time. But my Charms last an hour, and I do try not to leave lasting damage beyond a coin pouch being a bit lighter occasionally. Certainly-- I won't say I didn't run into any problems. Won't say I enjoyed losing control of part of my mind like that. But I've been told it wasn't meant with malice, so we'll have to leave it at that.
Well I thought a few things to myself. But I meant it when I said you're rather hard to stay irritated around.
I've never felt possessive or jealous like that in my entire life [2 years] and I don't care for it. Should have been my first indication something was fucked, but what do I even know.
[ . . . . hah. that manages to make him laugh just a little bit at that]
That's okay. But - White's a good guy, and love makes people kinda crazy, I hear. So if you were being bitter at me because you cared about my friend so much, I think I can let that slide. Juuust maybe.
[and he hopes that the smile he gives is convincing enough - he genuinely doesn't hold anything against molly]
But I'm glad you're feeling back to yourself - it was just a week but I kinda missed you.
[because I forgot to mention it earlier, and mineo might actually notice this sort of thing, he's got somenew jewelry added to his usual lineup. Both of these things are of equal prettiness, thank you.]
And I won't comment on Harrow's white lie beyond clarifying that it mostly did its job. We didn't do much of anything. Which if you ask me is White's loss, I'm very very good.
[He'd been snortlaughing at mineo's reaction to his slightly raunchy comment when he just dives right into the other thing and molly has to reorient himself to the conversation quickly - reaching up to touch the earring for a second.]
Huh-- Oh. Who said anything about Gu Yun owing me apology jewelry? [probably molly himself?]
No, that's all Gu-san's idea. I only find out what he's up to after he starts putting his own plan together. I thought that he might as well just take you on a date if he's gonna fuss that much! Be straightforward! Be bold!
[its just stepping close to dangerous Real Feelings waters so molly suddenly spins the wheel and tries to drive the conversation off the rails to avoid having to talk about it]
I don't know. Maybe ease off him. If he can't face me and needs some time he can do whatever he likes. Seemed a little scared shitless of me at times anyway.
You can just tell him I'm not embarrassed or anything and if he wants to just pretend it never happened, that's easy enough for me.

I mean... do you have to? Can't you just hit that person at least a little? Or get them to owe you something?
[sometimes....... forgiveness is not the answer]
no subject
[The tail thumps a bit harder. and then he tilts his head back and sort of. lolls it over to look at mineo.]
... If I took anything out on you, it wasn't personal.
[not a very good apology, but. he isn't actually good at those?]
no subject
Did you?
[if molly was mean to him at all
he simply did not notice]
You're okay. I heard Harrow-san told you a little white lie to try to help the situation, but... I don't think you were mean to me?

mineo's just going to look away at that for a second, flustering because he's still a dumb virgin - ]
Uh! Well - that's....! Between you two and all...!

Are those Gu-san's apology jewelry for you?
no subject

[DUNKS THAT MONOCLE MAN STRAIGHT INTO THE TRASH]
He was crazy nervous when he was putting stuff together for you. It was pretty funny.
[MINEO IS ALSO A TRASH GOBLIN ACTUALLY]
no subject
[SCOFFING but, obviously now deeply invested--]
What is this, some sort of huge conspiracy?
no subject
mineo's just laughing at that before humming oh so innocently]
What would we be conspiring about?
[his face is just :3 ftr]
no subject
[Huff.]
The fuckload of flowers that I'll never be fully able to remove from that room, for one.
no subject
No, that's all Gu-san's idea. I only find out what he's up to after he starts putting his own plan together. I thought that he might as well just take you on a date if he's gonna fuss that much! Be straightforward! Be bold!
[mineo: MY FUCKING SHIP]
no subject
What, like, candles and a night at the theater? Not exactly my speed, Mineo.
no subject
[HE CLEARLY ISN'T GETTING THE HINT]
But I guess if you and Gu-san have a weird ritual, I'll just stay out of it. I think it's really cute though. Good for you!
[he's so blindly supportive even if he doesn't know what's going on]
no subject
"Cute"? I don't think there's anything to stay out of. It's a long overdue apology for his bullshit, though I'll admit he pulled it off with flair.
no subject
Aww..... I'm glad that it went over well! He really was thinking really hard about it when I saw him preparing....
And you wear the jewelry well! As usual.
no subject
[its just stepping close to dangerous Real Feelings waters so molly suddenly spins the wheel and tries to drive the conversation off the rails to avoid having to talk about it]
You think White's going to be jealous?
no subject
no!
there's a suspiciously long beat here]
... nope! Pretty sure he's just - focused on other things now!
no subject
no subject
... if you want me to try to smooth things over, I can. I think White would listen to me. It might take time but...
I don't like the idea of someone else's shitty choice affecting your friendship. It's unfair.
