text the day after the Fucking Poetry Post

[counterattack]

yo guess what?? i just got an assignment over by kiichpan
i'm headed over there now
let's get something to eat when i get there! i haven't tried their food yet
it's probably not as gross as tikal's
i bet you found all kinds of weird stuff to eat already though

[prehendre]

[Ordinarily, Dohalim would welcome such a visit. Would even be thrilled at the fact Law is the one suggesting it, and seems interested in seeing him.

Today is no ordinary day. For his poetry was rejected, ego smashed, and pride wounded. The critiques of every nay-sayer were painful, but Law's words cut the deepest of all.]

I believe I am busy. Another time perhaps.

[counterattack]

oh

( ...UNDAUNTED, and completely unaware: )

busy with what?? maybe i can help
it's kinda my job to back other people up anyways
like a body guard y'know

[prehendre]

I do not require your help at this time.

Thank you.

[For he is not a USELESS TODDLER WHO CONSTANTLY NEEDS TO BE A BABIED.]

[counterattack]

oh, ok

( ????????? )

well i guess i can do the job first and then come by after?
think you'll be free then?

[prehendre]

I am busy for the foreseeable future.

Please enjoy the sights of Kiichpan at your leisure.

[counterattack]

( ????????????????????? )

seriously? i thought you'd be chomping at the bit to show me around...
is everything ok??? did i miss something?

meeting arrangements

[softmouth]

hey Dohalim, it's Dusty. I'm gonna be in Kiichpan in a day or so, where should we meet up? also maybe you should tell me what you look like so I can find you!

[prehendre]

Surely you can do better than a tour guide you must baby like a toddler.

[counterattack]

what??? what are you talking about

WAIT IS THIS ABOUT YESTERDAY?

[prehendre]

Do you know more than one entirely useless Renan who writes stupid poetry?

[counterattack]

no? just you

( wait that didn't come out right )

NO WAIT that's not what i meant! you're not entirely useless!

( nailed it???? )

[prehendre]

Not entirely.

How charitable of you.

[counterattack]

no!!!!!! you know what i meant!
you didn't seriously think i was serious did you?? come ON

[prehendre]

You sounded quite serious to me.

[counterattack]

what? we always play around like that
it's not like that's the first time i called your poetry dumb, what's the big deal?

[prehendre]

What you said was too close to what I know you all truly feel about me, to be play.

Cruel words are easy to swallow from people whose opinions mean little to me, but from those I care for, and where everyone else can read them... to say I was simply humiliated would be an understatement.

1/2

[counterattack]

cruel??? dude i was just teasing you! you took potshots at me too you know, don't be such a
wait hold on

( ...he has to flip back pages to even look at what he said because he's honestly forgotten at this point. )

[counterattack]

( ..................o h. aw crap. )




oh


okay, yeah, i took that too far
i didn't think you'd take it that seriously... i mean we don't ACTUALLY think that about you. i don't. you know that right?

[prehendre]

Don't tell me there was no truth to your words.

I'm not that stupid.

Re: meeting arrangements

[prehendre]

I think it would be wise to meet in the market, then we may procure any last minute ingredients necessary.

For identification... I am tall, my hair is crimson, and my skin a light bronze. I wear the traditional attire of Il Qaras. I have been told my appearance is agreeable to most eyes.

And yourself?

[counterattack]

no
i mean i guess so but it wasn't like THAT
and that doesn't even matter because you're still our friend and we like you anyway, so

so yeah

[softmouth]

that makes total sense! I wanna make you the best food I can.

you sound like you stand out in a crowd, I'm sure I'll find you. as for me, I'm pretty tall too, and I have curly blond hair that's shaved at the side, blue eyes, tan skin, and I'll be wearing a sweater and a backpack

how are you doing?

[prehendre]

I did not feel very liked in that moment.

[counterattack]

i'm really sorry, dohalim
i shouldn't have said all that. i didn't mean it, honest
how can i make it up to you?
