AA: weve reached an understanding i think
Reply
CG: SO WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
Reply
AA: i thought about asking nepeta but shes understandably biased
AA: and almost undoubtedly ships the two of us
Reply
CG: BUT I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
CG: YOU'RE HIS LOSS, SO YOU'RE STUCK IN A REALLY AWKWARD SITUATION
CG: LIKE HALF OF YOU IS STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN
CG: NOT TO MENTION YOU'RE APPARENTLY THE MOST PRECIOUS THING TO HIM
CG: IF YOU WERE TAKEN AS HIS LOSS
Reply
AA: its like you said though its really strange
AA: i hadnt thought very hard about what id do if he showed up to begin with and the loss thing sort of blew me out of the slime
AA: essentially hes back to the way he was when i first met him sweeps ago
AA: except
Reply
CG: IN BETWEEN HIM BEING A MASSIVE NOOKSTAIN AND CALLING ME A PEASANT
CG: BUT THAT'S NO SURPRISE
CG: EXCEPT WHAT
Reply
AA: and i think he may have taken a suggestion of mine
AA: if indirectly
Reply
CG: SHIT, THAT IS WEIRD
CG: DOES HE KNOW WHERE YOU ARE ON THE HEMOSPECTRUM?
CG: IT MIGHT JUST NOT HAVE COME UP YET
Reply
AA: he was railing about it for a while
AA: im not sure what to make of it
AA: maybe nepeta made him stop i dont know but i wonder if theres not more to it than that
Reply
CG: WHO KNOWS HOW THAT OVERSTRONG FREAK FEELS ABOUT IT
CG: IF HE KNOWS AND HE'S NOT TOTALLY REJECTING YOU
CG: THAT MUST MEAN HE HAS A REASON TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE
CG: I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST NEPETA DOING SOMETHING
CG: SHE'S A REALLY GOOD MOIRAIL
CG: BUT IT DOES LEAD TO ONE QUESTION
CG: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT ALL OF IT?
Reply
AA: im not sure
AA: exactly
Reply
CG: I KNOW YOU'RE USED TO BEING AN EMOTIONLESS ROBOT BY NOW
CG: BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME FEELINGS
CG: SOME OPINIONS ABOUT IT!
Reply
AA: thats the problem!
AA: i have a lot of opinions about it and they all contradict each other
AA: if it were just that hed forgotten me and was starting over thatd be one thing
AA: i distinctly remember not liking him back then and hes still kind of gross and snobbish and creepy
AA: but
AA: he did create my robot body without which we would have all died a thousand times over
AA: he did try to manipulate my feelings but i had been manipulating his the whole time so i cant hold that against him
AA: and we did have some good times together
AA: and
AA: i dont dislike him
Reply
CG: BUT WHAT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER IS THIS PLACE IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
CG: THOSE ARE ALL FUCKING WHAT-IF OPINIONS
CG: THE REALITY IS WHAT YOU SAID
CG: YOU DON'T DISLIKE HIM, EVEN IF HE IS A CREEPY SWEATY FUCKER
CG: AND HE'S PROVED HIMSELF
CG: BUT IF YOU'RE GETTING AT WHAT I THINK YOU ARE
CG: THAT'S NOT A HELL OF A LOT TO BASE SOMETHING REAL ON
CG: THAT SHIT SOUNDS MORE LIKE OBLIGATION
Reply
AA: i guess thats true
AA: actually i feel kind of bad that i dont like him more than i do
AA: but
AA: theres no reason to feel that way since he doesnt remember anything anyway
AA: in effect this is a clean slate
AA: a chance to start over and
AA: i dont know
AA: just be friends maybe
