❄ seventh reminder

[echidna]

[ You probably can't solve all of life's problems by covering Mayfield with fliers, and it went pretty terribly the last time she tried something like this, but that is not about stop her. She is determined to find Tavros a girlfriend. Or boyfriend. Or just a date, really. Any date.

So these have been plastered up around the school, and any place she thinks eligible bachelors and bacholerettes might be hanging out. What could possibly go wrong.......... ]



[ ooc; feel free to pop in on her while she's hanging them up, otherwise give her a call if you are interested in this hunky piece of troll. ]

Don't feel bad. I probably overreacted.

This all has been set up to blow for a long time. I should have just told Sollux and Feferi the truth.

[echidna]

Yeah, that... I didn't know Eridan, um, you know, or else I wouldn't have... yeah.

[ awkward. ]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Oh. I thought I told you, but I probably didn't.

I was right there when he did it. I just can't stop thinking about it sometimes, how I should have done something. It's sort of hard to talk about, I guess, which is why I keep being so cagey about it and making everything worse.

[echidna]

You weren't specific enough. [ But oh that doesn't really matter right now because that is sad. :( Fliers forgotten, she is shuffling over for a hug. ] I'm sorry.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[He seems a little uncomfortable with the hug, and only hugs her back briefly before shrugging her away.]

It's fine.

[echidna]

[ She sighs, lets him go and shuffles her feet, staring down at the sidewalk. ]

I just... I don't know. I don't want you to think that I'm, because of Eridan... [ She trails off, fumbling for words and not quite able to find them. ] You're more important to me, I mean, the most important.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[He's surprised at what she's saying, and also very touched. Not that she expected her to have immediately dropped him for Eridan, but he believes her and he's a little happy.]

No, it's okay. I don't want to have to deal with him myself, but if you want to try and be his friend, I don't care. I even believe he wants to change, although I don't know if it's for genuine reasons, but--

Fuck, I wasn't trying to insult him again. I just mean that it's fine.

[echidna]

I just want you to know, the stuff you say really matters to me! More than anything.

And I know I have messed some stuff up lately, but I feel like i am actually good at being a moirail. I guess I don't want you to think less of me because it's with him.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

It's not like that at all.

It's more like I know I'll never be able to forgive him. But the fact that you think he's worth a chance makes me think maybe it's possible I'm wrong about that.

[echidna]

[ Jade seems surprised by his answer, and is a little touched by it herself. ]

I think he does want to change, and even that he can change, but I don't expect you, or anyone else really, to forgive him. At least not for a very long time, if ever. I don't want you to feel like you should because of me.
