Of course. It means nothing if they don't want it... If they're not ready.

You're not the only one that pissed off Palamedes. I'm glad I'm not alone.

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah, well. Turns out people don't take it too well when you threaten to stab them through the chest and let them slowly bleed to death.
No matter how hopped up on god bullshit you are at the time.

No wonder he blew me off when I was pressing him for information. That sounds... traumatic.

[hauntedsavior]

It wasn't great. For anyone.
You kind of get why I got so pissed about you saying I only learn through memes?

Sorry for not keeping you in the loop about everything. Like I said, Gordian knot's worth of stuff going on right now.
And honestly, my brain's a little scrambled from coming back anyway. Turns out being a squid isn't great for retaining things.

... That was unfair of me, and I apologize. I HAVE been agitated and worried about you since that note.

And don't apologize. You have your reasons, and compared to John I'm still fairly new in town.

Just do better.

I will be doing better as well... And we can do it together.

[hauntedsavior]

Yeah.

Yeah. I'm going to be spending a lot of my time doing better.
I have a lot of amends to make and a lot of people to apologize to, and if people aren't okay with that then I just have to be fine with their choices.

Thanks for sticking with me.

[slightlytaller]

We're partners.

... Of the working kind.

Why would I abandon you for following your own morals?

You were foolish— but, I'm also a fool.

I'd prefer no other company.

[hauntedsavior]

We'll see if you're saying the same thing when I FC Through the Fire and Flames. I'm gonna be a real asshole about it.

[slightlytaller]

I know you will.

I expect no less, either. Give me a challenge-- one that I can follow through with you on.

[hauntedsavior]

As you wish, my liege.
