What just happened?

Strange. I would have expected being woken up by yelling. Maybe those others aren't as dumb as I thought.

[noteasybeinggreen]

I -- I stopped what I could. I didn't want to see you wake up angry.

[trollininthedeep]

So they would have if you hadn't interfered. [Then they are as dumb as I thought.]

I'd shoot anyone that woke me up because of the headache I had waking up.

[not going to do anything stupid like be aggressive to you, but I'm also not going to lie]

I don't want you in our house. But there was no point in trying to get rid of you like that. It wouldn't've gone well.

[trollininthedeep]

Clearly. What's done is done and no one got hurt so, there's nothing to worry about.

[And good thing we're not bringing up what happened to Joe either.]

[noteasybeinggreen]

[I kind of want to bring it up]

[but I'm not really comfortable asking why you were sucking on my Blue's neck]

Is Joe all right?

[trollininthedeep]

[Because drunk.]

Confused but, I'm just telling him what he wants to hear so, he's fairly tame.

Also his lack of confidence in his swordsmanship will make the fights much less likely.

[stupid alcohol]

[blinking] He doesn't think he's a good swordsman? Oh, Basco...

[trollininthedeep]

What? [Why are you saying my name like I did something wrong?]

[noteasybeinggreen]

How did this happen? How do we fix it?


[hoping, probably stupidly, that due to your connection with him you might actually want to help him a bit]

[trollininthedeep]

It happens randomly because of camp. Give it a week at most for him to return to normal.

[noteasybeinggreen]

There has to be something we can do! He's so upset!

[trollininthedeep]

Then don't upset him. A week of lying isn't going to hurt anyone.

[noteasybeinggreen]

I already told him I know him! I can't lie to him now.

[trollininthedeep]

You should have thought of that before you started upsetting him.

[noteasybeinggreen]

[scrubbing a hand through my hair]

I didn't know!

[trollininthedeep]

[This is why my life is a little easier.]

And you're supposed to be the smart one.
