Like I said, it's to divert attention from himself. I have to turn the question around to make him talk about himself sometimes.

[ there's also a much deeper reason than that, but that's not her story to tell. ]

You might think I'm crazy or biased just because we have something going on now, but... he's really not what he wants you to think. At the same time, I do think he went too far with this.

[immortalpoet]

what a strange way to do such a thing, but what do i know.

[If anyone asks about him and he doesn't want to talk about himself he just bites their head off. Simple as that.]

last time we talked i asked him to respect a boundary of mine. he proceeded to waltz all over it and ran away like a coward under the excuse of leaving me alone.

tell him that i would want to get a sincere apology from him for his behavior. face to face. that's all i need. if he can't even respect that then i would seriously wonder what sort of man he really is

[wheft]

[ "he's not a coward," is what she would like to retort, but she can't really defend him without a lot of context, and ishmael knows better than to intrude on vergilius any further right now.

great, now she's feeling peeved. ]

...I'll pass on the message. Although with all due respect, it's not like you're any better when it comes to opening up too, Vergilius.

[immortalpoet]

i opened up to him once and he then he makes light of it every time we talk so maybe opening up isn't all that it's cracked up to be, ishmael.

[Yeah, he is honestly more upset than anything that a Vulnerable Moment(TM) was turned into this, in his eyes.]

[wheft]

[ man, wtf.

but it's fine, she won't give up. just gotta get to the bottom of this since vergilius has his own kind of stubbornness that she can't just intrude on due to their work hierarchy. this is already giving her a headache...... ]

I'll see what I can do. He probably didn't mean to, but even I can't get a good read on him sometimes.

[immortalpoet]

thank you.

[#italianonfrenchviolence]

regardless.

how are you surviving out there

[wheft]

[ me like wait doesn't roland count as italian when u think about it. anyway ]

I'm dying, Vergilius.

[ a pause. ]

Thankfully it's not too bad to the point of needing Dante for it if they were here, but it's getting pretty damn close.

[immortalpoet]

dying in an emotional, physical, mental, spiritual way? or all of the above

[wheft]

I almost said yes, but... Mentally and physically. They weren't kidding about this fucking heat...

[immortalpoet]

the hair doesn't help huh

[wheft]

It's one of the reasons, yeah.........

[immortalpoet]

and i suppose cutting it is out of the question.

have you put it up?

[wheft]

I can trim it if it's getting too long, but... Never.

[ she has to bring the sunset no matter where she goes. ]

Yeah, I did. Why, do you want to give it a shot?

[ she's mostly joking lmao ]

[immortalpoet]

eh


why not. i could

[wheft]

[ ????????????????????? ]

You can do that?

[immortalpoet]

why do you sound so surprised...

yes. i can

[wheft]

Of course I'm surprised! Usually you'd hand that kind of job over to Rodya, but...

Hm. Then again, I shouldn't be too surprised. You've probably done Charon's hair plenty of times on the bus while we're busy out there killing ourselves.

[immortalpoet]

....i have. she doesn't have a lot of hair like you, but still.

[wheft]

It's a start. It's a lot of hair, though.

[immortalpoet]

and have you known for me to back down from a challenge? have faith in this old guide

[wheft]

Well, when you put it that way...

Hehe, I just know Don's gonna be so jealous.

[ girl............. ]

[immortalpoet]

don't make this weird by bringing her up

[wheft]

I won't, I won't. Jeez, can you imagine if she were around? Especially when... you know. There's that other someone here that she'd always wanted to meet?

[immortalpoet]

she would have a heart attack multiple times over no doubt. i still can't believe that woman is here wither...

anyways. where are you at

[wheft]

I thought she was dead. Wasn't she? It's a lot to take in, even now...

I'm just taking a break at our van. Why?
