[ i really don't know what aventurine expected ]

Ah. [ understanding... ]

Was the sincerity the worst part?

[ (mulan voice) now all of china knows you were love arrowed ]

[tactic]

I don't know. Maybe.

[ Gazes off into the distance... He's got even more PTSD now. ]

Someone here has it out for me.

[mygod]

[ NOT THE PTSD ]

They do.

[ don't just confirm ]

Make that many enemies already?

[tactic]

[ OFFENSE ]

I thought I was getting along with everyone.

[mygod]

[ a very pointed pause ]

Well, I don't know what your relationships with others are like.

Aside from the notable funny one.

[tactic]

[ Tilts his head. ]

Which one is that?

[ don't say it ]

[mygod]

You've forgotten your first love already... And after you made such a fuss in asking everyone about theirs...

[ so sad... ]

[tactic]

[ ARGH THE PTSD IS BACK ]

Can we talk about something else?

[mygod]

[ laughs ]

Even though this is so fun for me?

[ they're a bully that's why. but they'll make an open-handed gesture in an act of mercy. go ahead aventurine, pick a topic ]

[tactic]

[ HMMMMMMMMMM stares at Famine. ]

What's under the mask?

[mygod]

No.

[ well that didn’t answer the question ]

[tactic]

Okay, I guess this mysterious jerk aura you have going on works for you so who am I to break the illusion.

[ Just fucking yaps in his depression. ]

[mygod]

Hmm... You're not the first person to call me mysterious.

But I consider it more along the lines that none of you have earned the right to know me. [ a beat, then thoughtfully: ] I am a jerk, though.

[ that's accurate ]

[tactic]

... I take it back. I don't like that you're agreeing with me.

[ HMPH. ]

You're actually quite kind for keeping me company in my time of need.

[mygod]

[ laughs again. okay picky ]

Don't sound so desperate. You're fun to watch when you're being pitiful.

[tactic]

You think I'm fun to watch?

[mygod]

You're rebounding too fast, don't you think?

[tactic]

How am I to know? I've never experienced anything like this before.

[mygod]

[ it's hard to discern an actual expression with the mask but the vibe is the emotional equivalent of an eye roll ]

It was nothing more than a passing, enchanted infatuation. It would be senseless to feel embarrassed over something that was not in your control. Take in what you found enlightening from the experience and then either get even, or get over it.

[tactic]

[ you are sooo sexy can you tell me to kms ]

Wow, I didn't think I'd get genuine advice from you...

[mygod]

[ are you fucking okay ]

I can return to mocking you if you prefer. [ a beat ] Well, even if you don't.

[tactic]

[ no ]

We get along better when you do. [ Slight pause. ] Though that doesn't mean I'll be ignoring your charitable suggestion.

[mygod]

Is that your idea of better...

[ tilts head ]

Are you a masochist?

[tactic]

Would you like me to be?

[mygod]

[ why is aventurine such a slut yuul

famine frowns deeply ]

Stop that.

[ also assuming it's a yes ]
