I don't want a fake apology.

[ A little bit of a growl. ]

If you need time to work it out yourself or with Pagan, fine. I can wait. I will wait.

But I'm not going to sit here and placate you while you decide how much or how little you fucked up.

Assuming.

[She hisses, her eyes flashing.]

Re: spam

[greatoldjohn]

You did, yes.

No, John, you're assuming I'm only looking to let myself off the hook, and as per your promise, I expect you to stop that right now.

Re: spam

[greatoldjohn]

I am not. I also said nothing about 'letting yourself off the hook'. That's you putting words in my mouth.

You said you were trying to work out how you 'think and feel' about it. And that you can't give a real apology without doing so.

What the fuck else could it mean, Misty?

[Pagan holds up his hands, physically stepping between them.]

Now I can see why you two have constant fucking rows.

I'm calling this here. Misty, darling, you're out past curfew, so why don't you come back with me? Have some tea?

John, I think I can take this from here, hm?

Re: spam

[greatoldjohn]

Of course.

...sorry.

[ He didn't mean to bicker in front of Pagan but he also didn't want to just sit there stony while she was upset. ]

I'm going up to the deck.

[A muscle in her face twitches as she clenches her jaw.]

You are welcome to bring tea and sit with me, Pagan.

Re: spam

[crab_rangoon]

[Pagan nods.]

Sounds like a lovely evening. Come with me to make it first? I hate holding two cups.

[He gives John a small nod.]

Give Arthur my regards, hm? I'll see you later.

[She gives Pagan a flat, unimpressed look before turning to head back out the door.]

And have you lock me in once I'm there? I don't think so. I'll see you out on deck!

Re: spam

[greatoldjohn]

[ He doesn't nod but- ]

Of course, Pagan. I'm sure he'll be glad to hear them. You're welcome by any time.

[ He's waiting until she's well and gone before he goes anywhere. ]

Re: spam

[crab_rangoon]

Yes, John. Thank you.

[A distracted reply, considering Misty's words. She gets an exceptionally hurt look back at her, but he'll follow her to the deck without another word.]
