[white is, in fact, pretty lucky he got both parts of that memory. its slightly more elucidating that way. but he was told the last time molly had spoken about his past was under the effects of a truth spell - that much might ring true.]
Fuck.
[ . . .]
I don't know. Can you? At least-- You can remember the parts where I explained myself. That's all true.
You mean like all the eloquent shit you said that people probably put on Hallmark cards or something? Yeah, sure. Like, I didn't get anything else anyway, so, uh. I can forget about that.
[while he cries internally because no! he cannot! but he will tell molly otherwise for peace of mind.]
[he doesn't know what a "hallmark" is but he gets the jist of the comment - white thinks he's full of platitudes and bullshit. which probably isn't incorrect. he sniffs and thumbs his nose.]
Right. Good enough. At least you think I'm eloquent.
[look molly talks very fancy sometimes and it goes over white's head]
Kind of? It's complicated. We received power from two gods who are also sort of just the one god? Two halves of one whole? Some shit like that, I never really got it.
[one might get the impression that white doesn't actually know what he's doing most of the time, which would be correct.]
They were both a means to an end for Ares, anyway. Since, y'know, one of them only wanted to destroy the universe and the other one didn't actually approve of the whole "slaughtering humans" stuff. [a beat.] Well, between him and Redhead, we lost, so...
That is complicated. Molly, despite fancy talk, is also not the sharpest tool in the shed sometimes and so a lot of this just goes right over his head as well, but. well the memory makes it pretty clear that white had been working for the "destroy the universe" guy and . . . well. yikes, but still.]
... Well, one thing happened after another, and now I guess I'm helping out the geezer—uh, the god. The one who was our enemy. He's a hopeless idiot, so he needs all the fucking help he can get.
[it's said in the sort of exasperated tone you use for people who drive you crazy precisely because of how much you care for them.]
[Oh. Cute? White. Molly just looks so pleased? As if he's got any sort of right to be proud or not proud of white. ]
Yes, I think I know the feeling. [he is probably the person driving everyone else insane though.] . . . It's good to hear that. Leaving it better than you found it. Trying to help. You really are a good person, then.
[there is definitely an air of arrogance to the way molly just declared white to be a good person by his own definition as if he has the right to cast judgment or anything like that, but
there might be a reason hes on pride]
I'm only saying, I've met a lot of people, and I think I'm rather talented at picking out the good ones.
[he puffs out his cheeks childishly at that, tail whipping back and forth a bit]
Okay, look, joke was funny before but I do remember-- I remember most everything from my life. Just all the stuff before I woke up in a grave that I don't. [ . . .] And it's a bit fuzzy for a little while after that. But everything else!

look, white is stupid. everyone knows this. so, it should come as no surprise that he has no idea what any of that was about!]
Uh... w-what? Wait, what the fuck? What the fuck was that?
[he presses a hand to his head, trying to regain his bearings all over again. that was—
well. he remembers how molly prefers things, so.]
... Actually, should... Should I also just forget about that?
[admittedly, he doesn't think he can.]
