Wouldn't be the first guy to do that and you won't be the last. [ leans forward a bit. ] You don't have to tell me about it. I've got shit I've done that I'm not proud of.
Also WOW. This is a lot. This is a lot for fucking children? Hello? What the hell is happening here?

[ she does actually pause at the firm voice, out of instinct. and then, belligerent, she grabs the bottle and takes a drink, pointedly staring at him. you're not the boss of her.
[He's going to tattle to Jonas on her. He just looks at her exactly like he would probably look at his sibling, but he isn't about to fight her over booze.]

That - [HOLD ON!!!!] That wasn't what I meant.
[NOOOOOO. STOP TEASING HIM. Why is he being bullied from all fucking angles every day of his life?!]
...They are trying their best, but have given me more grace than I deserve.
no subject
Yeah? Why's that? You did something horrible?
no subject
He is quiet for a very long moment, and has a difficult time meeting her eyes really. His smile is tiny, tight.]
I did. I did something selfish which ended up putting them into some danger.

I'm sorry. [For seeing something deeply personal, he means.] A lot happened very quickly.
no subject
[ whew. a beat. in a tone that is trying very hard for joking: ]
Yeesh. Sorry to bring the mood down.
no subject
You don't have to apologize. It is undoubtedly a side effect of this new week, one of the more irritating ones. Anything can be on display.

[ reaches
for her alcohol, where is it at ]
no subject
Vi.
[It's to stop her, so it's firm, but it's gentle. He doesn't raise his voice at all. Stop drinking, you alcoholic.]

no subject
a pause, though. ]
Who's Verin?
no subject
My younger brother.
no subject
Oh. [ ... ] Do you still talk?
no subject

When I tried to just find the truth; I know he wished I would just keep my nose out of things.
no subject

[ which... he knows she has tried to do, at least. ]
