[ Take that issue up with the new weed with giant asscheeks ]

--I never have any idea what the hell is really going on in your head or how you feel about anything and I got embarrassed!!

[ Sheepish and still very much embarrassed but also like... warm gross feelings... kinda humbled ]

[is this...openness in response to openness...communication is wild

because he is experiencing warm happy emotions while also being horribly embarrassed about them, he leans over to steal Minuet's drink]

Isn't it usually pretty obvious? I didn't think I was hiding anything.

None of that is obvious at all!

--How is it not?!

[BAFFLED!!!!!]

[ verklempt ]

You're pissed and annoyed like 80% of the time... that's not counting the silent seething rage.

[ also u only express your worry when you're PRETENDING TO BE A CAT!!!!! ]

I am not! I'm worried about you because you keep getting hurt or dying! Besides, I went to check on y--

[no he was a cat. he did this to himself.

guiltily sinks down into the water for a minute. he needs to contemplate his life choices.]

[ JUST FUCKIN STARES AT HIM ]

[RESURFACES WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF GUILT HE WENT UNDER WITH]

I've created a misunderstanding. I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were that gullible.

[ INDIGNANTLY ]

Excuse me?

[don't look at him like that the guilt is already killing him]

Have you talked to any magical cats lately.

[sinks back down into the water]

[ GENTLY (ok not too gently) DRAGS HIM BACK UP ]

Hey Lethe?

[ EXASPERATED, like of course. Of course. You dumb fucking horse. But still fond somehow. Awful. ]

How're people supposed to know your real feelings if you go out of your way to hide it?

I was going to change back before I talked to you but you were outside instead of resting inside! Maybe next time you should rest after you die, stupid!

[ Bruh

This isn't cuteness aggression because Lethe is too fucking insufferable to be cute, but it's definitely... 'a positive emotion of SOME KIND' aggression.

He may only have one arm but it's enough to pull Lethe into a hug ]

[he feels less mortified, if only because they both probably look very stupid right now. and also maybe the positive emotions helped. hugs him back]

I shouldn't have to say that I care every time you get hurt before it sinks in. So don't forget it.
