[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.
[there's a little bit of a laugh at that before his expression softens]
... White's a surprisingly gentle guy, I think. Underneath everything else. He's probably just feeling awkward and... I don't know. Needs time to lick his wounds?

[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.

What, like, candles and a night at the theater? Not exactly my speed, Mineo.

[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.

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.

But - I'll pass on the message.
... do you know who exactly cursed you?
no subject
[He blinks at the question, then shrugs a shoulder.]
I might.
no subject
... can I know? Even if just to pass on to White - I'll stay out of it otherwise.
It's obviously up to you two to decide how you wanna deal with it.
no subject
no subject
Mm. No, I trust you, Molly. I won't butt in - but I figure White would want to know too. If you're cool just telling him, then that works for me.
