[anime hot springs time]

The hot springs, you mean? I wanted an excuse to try them out, since we're all so busy otherwise. And it seemed like we had some things to talk about.

I can guess what you've heard already, but...care to share?

He...what?

Did you guys have a fight?

[he's like paused with the last of the chrysanthemum bread an inch away from his mouth and his mouth open, holy shit]

But you've been over frequently--

[wait]

I thought--

[the gears in his brain are CHURNING]

Has he really been ignoring you? He must've come over at least once.

[it's been three weeks]

That's--dire. And you're certain there wasn't some kind of conflict before you--no, but he'd have no quarrel with your brother...

That's odd. He'd decided to take charge of managing our alliances, at some point; wouldn't Peony be a natural choice to foster one with?
mykidisthebest: (something more certain than anything)

Re: [day 58 or 59 sometime when they're all free]

[personal profile] mykidisthebest 2024-02-18 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
That...doesn't make any sense. We see you so often...

[trying to wrap his head around this]

Maybe something happened to make him forget about you, and none of us realized it?
endsjustified: (a fortiori.)

[blobsweat.emoji, but internally]

He was attacked by Pandora, hence the exhaustion around our rite, and the sheep took him in the middle of that. But I have no explanation for the rest, truly.

I was not. . .planning to rely on him. He did not leave Lily on a good note, I do not think; I may have directly caused his weeding. Though I can see why he wouldn't mention that in public and give a narrative that was easier to stomach.
mykidisthebest: (Don't look back)

Re: [day 58 or 59 sometime when they're all free]

[personal profile] mykidisthebest 2024-02-18 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
I--I'm sorry, Aides. I didn't even notice. I thought--he's always busy, you know? So he's not around a lot.

[swivels his attention to Charon now instead, still kind of reeling from that]

Did you have a fight with him, or did he start ignoring you too?
endsjustified: (so the wind blows.)

Re: [day 58 or 59 sometime when they're all free]

[personal profile] endsjustified 2024-02-18 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
I'm also sorry I didn't notice that was going on. It's...really very strange. I don't know why he'd have some kind of quarrel or quibble over it; it's not as though you chose your change in role.

[looks a lil uncomfortable under Lethe's stare. pours himself some of the wine]

And no, he did not start ignoring me. But I grew intemperate with him after you were both kidnapped by wolves, and again right after the vengeance ritual. We decided a relationship was not...going to work out, after that.
mykidisthebest: (Got kinda drastic)

Re: [day 58 or 59 sometime when they're all free]

You...

[ah jeez]

I'm sorry, Charon.

[DRINKS WINE ABOUT IT]

I don't mean to make it awkward. The two affairs are separate; you have entirely the right to be hurt by apparently being cut out once you were no longer wearing a white collar. Perhaps he feels oddly about how easily allegiances and ties can shift in the pasture, including now his own. Perhaps Pandora's attack left more of a hole in his memories than we thought. There's an explanation here, surely, but I don't blame you if you don't want to chase it.

I'd still rather be aware if there was oddness about how such things were addressed than not; so thank you for being willing to tell us, and hesitating because you didn't want to throw Lily into conflict. It's considerate of you.
mykidisthebest: (What would you trade the pain for?)

Re: [day 58 or 59 sometime when they're all free]

[exhales and also drinks wine about it]

I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to say something. It's understandable to feel upset when...someone cuts you out of their life with no explanation. That hurts. Don't feel like you have to hold back out of consideration for us.

And Charon, I agree with Aides. I don't think it's your fault his collar changed. It was really random when it happened to me, remember? And every other time it's happened to someone has been random too. It would be weirder if his collar changed colors just because a relationship didn't work out. Maybe he...just didn't want to rely on us.
endsjustified: (please stop.)

What did he say? Just that the bonds weren't broken easily and he wasn't going to act any different?
mykidisthebest: (I wanna be like you)

Re: [day 58 or 59 sometime when they're all free]

[personal profile] mykidisthebest 2024-02-18 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't hear what he told anyone else. I was trying to figure out why he hadn't come home after his collar changed, and...he was making excuses that he didn't want to, so I stopped asking. That's all I know.
