Apologies are kind of hard.

*She wasn't even going to give him the chance to apologize but Holden said she didn't deserve to be treated badly and by that same coin, didn't she then deserve an apology? But that doesn't mean she has to make it easy.*
And?

[hottestgrandpa]

[Mike takes a minute before he speaks. He knows he there's a good chance he'll fuck this up.] So. I'm sorry. I am so, so sorry. It's ok if you don't believe that. But I am. All I can say is I'm trying to do better. I'm trying to work on myself and my issues.

[lottawolf]

I don't trust you. *Saying it makes her realize how much she means it, and that makes her throat close up with something she has to push down. She's a Gryffindor, she's a Flint and a Krum, and she doesn't cry unless someone literally just died. She doesn't.*

[hottestgrandpa]

I know. And I'm sorry for that. I wish I could indio but I can't. All I can do is ...do better going forward. But I do love you and I'm going to keep trying to make you feel safe again

[lottawolf]

Okay, then you can't act like my coach, or my manager, or my-- my benefactor or something. I'm not doing transactional. And if that's how it's going to be then I'm out.

[hottestgrandpa]

I don't want a relationship like that either. And I'm sorry I made you feel that way. You don't owe me shit.

[lottawolf]

I don't, and it really hurt. *She wants to hug him but still feels too angry, so she just hugs herself* But okay. I accept your apology.

[hottestgrandpa]

Thank you. I am going to do my best to be better for all of you.

[lottawolf]

I don't actually know what that means, pops. *He's not "Michael", so this must not be going so badly*

[hottestgrandpa]

[He's happy to her call him that's. He started to hate his own name.] I haven't taken good care of my mental health and it hurt you and your cousins and I can't let that happen again. I'm going to get help and commit to it.

[lottawolf]

You should talk to dyádo, he'll help you. That's like, his whole thing.

[hottestgrandpa]

Yeah. Maybe I will.

Can I...would it be ok if I came to the talent show?

[lottawolf]

Are you gonna get mad if I do an angry song and it's kind of about you? It's not like, totally about you, but still.

[hottestgrandpa]

No. I won't be mad.

[lottawolf]

Okay, then you should come. I think ninety percent of the people entering are family. *Or, you know, some of them? To be honest, she hasn't been planning this thing very well*

[hottestgrandpa]

As it should be. We're a talented family.
