Day 340

[selfpreservationist]

Chamomile Gatorade (for poets): this may seem like a strange question, but
Chamomile Gatorade (for poets): have you noticed anything unusual about jason lately?

Re: Day 340

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Uh-oh...]

Red Bull gives you wings: Define... Unusual......

Re: Day 340

[selfpreservationist]

Chamomile Gatorade (for poets): he referred to us as "family", in a manner that seemed joking, but it was an odd thing to say either way
Chamomile Gatorade (for poets): you know him better than i do. i feel as though it's best to keep my distance from him.
Chamomile Gatorade (for poets): anyway
Chamomile Gatorade (for poets): i thought you might want to know.

[Nero answers the door, looking as though he had just came out of the kitchen.]

Raven! Here, uh-- come in.

[Holds the door open for him]

Re: Day 340

[enters]

Is something going on?

Re: Day 340

[gigadevilbreaker]

Other than my baking failures? Well-- I kinda wanted to make more of an announcement of it...

[oh no he's nervous now, there was not enough prep for this]

Re: Day 340

[selfpreservationist]

Announcement...?

Re: Day 340

[gigadevilbreaker]

Yeah...

[Ssscratches the back of his neck]

Jason and I got hitched?

Re: Day 340

[selfpreservationist]

Oh.










As in... married?

Re: Day 340

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Fidgets!]


Yeee-up...

Re: Day 340

[selfpreservationist]

... ah...

That... explains a few things.

Re: Day 340

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Drags his hands down his face]

I didn't think he'd start using the 'F' word, though...

Re: Day 340

[selfpreservationist]

I... think he meant it as a joke, but... clearly he was expecting me to understand the reference, and when I didn't, his behavior seemed... odd... oh. So... you... you're not leaving Shrike, are you?

Re: Day 340

[gigadevilbreaker]

[MORTIFIED,]

NO! Of course not! I would never.

Re: Day 340

[selfpreservationist]

I didn't think you would, but I also didn't expect... this, either.

Re: Day 340

[gigadevilbreaker]

To be honest, neither did I...?

[Awkwardly fiddles with the silver ring around his neck]

I'd pretty much made my peace knowing that Jason did not want t'be married. And he hates the idea of family.

I started wearing a ring for him not 'cause I ever expected to propose, but - to promise I was committed. That he wasn't just some temporary side piece. I never thought he'd... accept it.

Re: Day 340

[selfpreservationist]

...

[opens mouth, closes it, clearly not sure what to say at first]

Knowing and... believing in... your devotion... he'd be a fool not to accept it eventually. And... he knows that, probably.

[takes a breath and lets it out]

Congratulations, again.

Re: Day 340

[gigadevilbreaker]

[NooOOOooOoo he can feel the awkwardness]

I-- know all the 'marriage' stuff has been kinda weird, and you're not into it, and... I was trying to plan something to break it to you but my cakes are still crap - I didn't expect Jason to try and reach out first??

He... I think that's his way of trying to connect with the family. Even though he's been an ass to everyone and he's probably still gonna be an ass, but a different kind of ass?

Re: Day 340

[selfpreservationist]

You were going to... tell me by baking me a cake?

[okay that's cute. raven does smile a little at that.]

Who else knows?

Re: Day 340

[gigadevilbreaker]

Shrike, obviously. I told her first. Then Dad, 'cause he hates Jason the most, and 'cause Jason challenged him to a fight, so they're probably gonna stab each other a bunch.

It came up with Sis, and then I was trying to figure out how to tell you... I'm a much better cook than a baker.

Re: Day 340

[selfpreservationist]

[oh, i'm the last one out... was that deliberate...]

You... didn't have to go through all that trouble.

Re: Day 340

[gigadevilbreaker]

I... felt nervous, I guess. Even though I think you like him best out of everyone, I know you feel weird about. Marriage?

Re: Day 340

[selfpreservationist]

[...]

It's not something I... think about for myself. You, on the other hand, make it seem perfectly natural. Which it is, but... anyway, I don't want you to think you can't tell me things, Nero. I'm sorry if I've made it difficult for you.
