in a fit of INSANITY i instructed him not to flirt with me anymore and now i never seem to see him around the apartment
will you tell him i did not mean it

[fledges]

[what]

what???

[ikols]

what???
that's the entire problem

[fledges]

loki
he's MARRIED

[ikols]

we've all been very aware of that for a while, yes
tell him he's allowed to flirt with me again and is it okay if i crawl in bed with him of a morning again
i feel awful, this is awful

[fledges]

wait, what? have you been doing that?

[ikols]

yeah, he likes to cuddle in the morning
it's not my fault he's so ghastly lonely but as his FRIEND it's my responsibility to put as much of a stop to that as possible
kate! focus up!! i feel AWFUL

[fledges]

look, you dumped a lot on me with no context. if you want me to help, i need to catch up.
give me more background.

[ikols]

i don't have more background! i told him to cease his flirtations and i now regret it
i was trying to be Good but i'm so shit at it i was Bad instead

[fledges]

why did you tell him to stop flirting with you? what happened, exactly?

[ikols]

i told you, i was trying to be a good person
i'm not very nice when i'm good, turns out

i was a bit short with him

[fledges]

[Okay, he's not going to be much more detailed than this, apparently.]

so go apologize.
what exactly were you trying to get out of the conversation, loki? what was your thought process going into it?

[ikols]

that i was weak and wanted him too much

but i'm not! i was having A Day, ok
i was having A DAY, kate!!!

[fledges]

are you crushing on billy?

[ikols]

you are being markedly absurd

[fledges]

what? how? you just said you wanted him.

1/2

[ikols]

i'm not an idiot, i don't want him when he's MARRIED
billy would never be unfaithful to teddy and that is a beautiful example of the rare type of loyalty in love that they share, meant to be! devoted and true like the greatest of romantic parables or sonnets!

[ikols]

i was thinking i could have him when he's a widower

[fledges]

ugh, loki, gross.

[ikols]

how is that gross???
realistically i'm the only one of our old friend group who isn't going to (permanently) pop his clogs, no offence
when his demiurgence begins, i can be there to
assist

[fledges]

because you're basically just waiting around like a vulture for teddy to die.

[ikols]

well when you insist on putting it like that it sounds truly heinous, sure

[fledges]

how else am i supposed to put it?

[ikols]

kate, do you want to be queen of jotunheim? you can have my kingdom, just tell billy i said i am sorry
please?

[fledges]

i don't want to be queen of anything. i'm not going to apologize for you. it would be meaningless, and you know it.
i think this is a good lesson for you. take responsibility. no anonymous, lavish parties while you disappear. no making excuses about how "bad" you are at it. no paying lip service and then pretending it never happened.
put your big boy pants on and talk to him.
