It seems Shad partakes in far more homosexual activity than expected

@eternalGuard_ Irene… I don’t care. I really don’t. I have nothing to say… but it feels like 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 absolutely itching to talk.

@ashadowsbidding I don’t mean to stare, I just— I don’t know. Quite frankly, I’m tired as well… .. But um… If I stay, would you— would you want to.. talk more, or would you want to just stay quiet?

No… no- I’m— I’m seeing things again. I thought I was— … Damn it all.. these walks were supposed to help, not- not this again…

@eternalGuard_ Right, because I’m a Shadow Knight now, huh? Always itching to fight. … It’s… I- whatever. Stay if you want, leave if you want. I’m tired and you’re staring me down like you saw a gh- ….I don’t care either way.

@ashadowsbidding Seems fitting for you. … that came out wrong. I didn’t mean it like— never mind. … I hope you at least got some time to yourself before I.. interrupted. Hopefully, I’m not… too much of a disturbance; I can leave if you want me to.

@eternalGuard_ Not by choice. Usually, if I need to “clear my head,” I just fight something. I was… urged to take a walk. Needed some time to myself, really… and we can see how long that lasted me.

@ashadowsbidding Well, consider me glad that you aren’t. Fighting me, that is. … they’re supposed to help me clear my head when it starts to.. race. But I like going on them when I can anyways. I don’t suppose you have any similar habits? Things to keep you sane when everything else… isn’t?

@eternalGuard_ …. Neither can I, evidently. I should be trying to fight you or… something, I don’t know. …You go for late walks like this often?

@ashadowsbidding It’s not just some damn obligation to me, Gene! Divines above, it’s one of the only things I can possibly bring myself to say, save for that I’ve… I’ve—… …. I can’t think clearly enough for this.

@eternalGuard_ You think I don’t know that? You think it’s something I just moved on from? …. You sound pathetic. Quit apologizing just because it feels like an obligation.

@ashadowsbidding They don’t remember me because of you! You made them forget, and left me alone there, and… and maybe that was a fair trade after all, y’know? I… I can’t argue with that.. … I should’ve known better…. I’m sorry.

@eternalGuard_ Learn? Since when do you “learn” from what you’ve done, Dante. If you really made a habit of that, we wouldn’t be standing here like this. Hell, they would’ve remembered you! I wouldn’t be—! Divines above… Just- I’m not in the fucking mood. I’m really not.

@ashadowsbidding No! No- I wouldn’t— how could I have known?! Don’t—… You think I’d do that again? You think I didn’t learn from the first time I did that?

@eternalGuard_ Why am I here? Why are 𝘺𝘰𝘶 here? How did you even find this place? There’s no way in- …. Were you 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 to hunt me down. Is that what this is. Just can’t help but keep sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong.

@ashadowsbidding I was just— I was on a walk! I don’t understand… if you’re… why are you here? It doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make sense at all…

@eternalGuard_ I’m not… what? Are you insa- What the fuck are you doing here?! Of all the people..

@ashadowsbidding You… you— you aren’t real. This isn’t real, none of it is. It can’t be… you.. can’t be. How could you be here…

// admins are setting me loose w aph’s texture pack again :)

@TheShadowLrd ….Yeah, maybe I should. … Uh- Thank you, Shad.

@ashadowsbidding ........ Hey– Um,.. .. Why don't you go clear your head for a bit. Not sure my office is really the best place to destress.

… I’m coming in. @TheShadowLrd

@TheShadowLrd Right, right. Apologies, 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘥. …

@ashadowsbidding It was not 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘱𝘪𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘺 it was 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘺. You're welcome.

@TheShadowLrd …Heh.. that- That was stupid. And corny.

@ashadowsbidding Yeah, you aren't exactly easy to get along with. .. But look who you're talking to.

@TheShadowLrd Hard not to. … I’ve been so shitty, haven’t I?

@ashadowsbidding .... Don't– ....Don't beat yourself up over it.

@TheShadowLrd …Maybe you’re right. …. Fuck..

@ashadowsbidding I get you're upset that he's here. ... But I don't think getting upset with 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 for bringing him here is all that fair.

@TheShadowLrd …So.. you’re saying I’m in the wrong..? I- not- … Am I being shitty..?

@ashadowsbidding Just– .... I'm not saying I agree with the way they said it, and I 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 want him here as much as the next person, but– ... From Lati's perspective. I.. understand what it means to them and they were just trying to get you to understand it. .. That's all I meant.

@TheShadowLrd No, what? “In that context,” what?

@ashadowsbidding I– Yes, I'm 𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 with you. ... Though I guess.... in that context– .. No, never mind. Shouldn't have gone there. ...

@TheShadowLrd 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬? Listen, I get where maybe my choices were irrational… but that doesn’t make it fair to drag- They didn’t need to make it worse.

@ashadowsbidding ............ ... 𝙊𝙝. ... That uhm– ..Seems like an overstep.

@TheShadowLrd Um… … They just… brought up Eleanor.

@ashadowsbidding Mhm. ..? Compared it to what?

@TheShadowLrd Glad we’re on the same page, then… … Surely it’s not irrational to be upset that they’d bring their old partner back here.. right? I mean, they compared it to-

@ashadowsbidding I mean it 𝘪𝘴 absurd to a degree, but I'm not entirely thrilled about it either, so.
