[The video feed turns on and Beat comes into view. It looks like something is on his mind and he opens his mouth to speak but then closes it again.]

...

[Without saying anything he shuts off the feed. Only to turn it back on a few seconds later. Don't ask. It's a pride thing

Man up, find your balls if you've got them and say it to their face.

[gangstaspeak]

I got balls, yo! Ain't gonna be askin' for help if I ain't done that already!

[havemyflaws]

Look, if you try any of the bullshit people tell you, most people lose respect for you. Don't try flowers or alcohol or a gift or whatever else. It makes you less of a person if you flatter your way out of it. The only way to do it is admit that you frakked up big style and that you're sorry.

[gangstaspeak]

Didn't I jus' say I done that already. Didn't work, yo. Doin' it again ain't gonna cut it.

[havemyflaws]

You must've frakked up big time then. Upset your girlfriend or something?

[gangstaspeak]

[Ugh, everyone's hitting the nail right on the head. Have a deep exhale.]

...'Sactly that, yo.

[havemyflaws]

Either she's a real damn princess about getting the perfect apology or you've done something monumental.

[gangstaspeak]

Monu-wha? Look, I ain't much big words or nothin'. I jus' messed up bad, a'ight?

[havemyflaws]

That's what monumental means. What did you do?

[gangstaspeak]

[This isn't a time for a vocab lesson, so he'll be brushing that aside.]

...You know 'em mistletoe tha's been poppin' 'round? [Sheepish look goes here.]

[havemyflaws]

[She can sort of guess where this is going and just about manages to contain the smirk.]

You kiss another girl under it?

[gangstaspeak]

[All Beat could do is groan. And man, what a groan it is.]

Not jus' any other girl, yo.

[havemyflaws]

[Oh that groan does it and she's laughing and grinning.]

Kiss her worst enemy? Although, from what I've heard, it's not like you get much choice once you're under it.

[gangstaspeak]

Yo, quit your laughing, dammit!

[That would've been worse but he can't imagine Ty Lee having a worst enemy... Or just an enemy at all. She's too nice.]

Ya don't. [And he can vouch for that.] Was one a' my friends from back home.

[havemyflaws]

[Beat, if you tell her to stop laughing you do realise it's only going to make her laugh more, right? Well, you do now.]

So what's her problem? It's just a kiss, people do a hell of a lot worse. Tell her to get over herself.

[gangstaspeak]

[Augh, yes. Now he does. And he's about to comment about it too until he hears the next thing she says.]

Bwuh?! I ain't gonna go tellin' her that!
