Upon Vestia: Chapter Six

flying_purple_monkfish wrote:Kay nodded He's struggling with the guilt of what he did, and it'll be a while before anyone here really can stand to look at him. But, I honestly don't believe anyone here will continue to hate him, particularly not knowing what he means to you and your child. He did save several of our lives, which may not atone for all his sins, but shows he's not the monster we were perhaps happy to believe he was. It's a lot easier to hate someone when you think they're a monster. Seeing them as a vulnerable person who did something terrible and regrets it, it brings up all manner of conflicting feelings. Do you feel pity or do you feel rage? grief or fear? It'll take everyone a while to come to terms with all of what's happened and he knows it. Kay shrugged. He cares deeply for you Heny, that's clear to anyone. But don't be too hard on him, it must be difficult to stand in a room full of people who can't decide if they want to punch you or not. He reached out and patted her on the shoulder gently. But try to enjoy yourself. This party is for you, and he needs to suck it up and put on a happy face for you. If you want, I can go lecture him Kay smirked. But I think you'd prefer I didn't right? Besides, looks like Asher's cheering him up. He nodded toward the android and keeper.

Matt pulled him into a hug. "Well, if you're still mad I may have some grovelling to do... or I could just drag you onto the dance floor and embarrass you in front of everyone a bit more. Depends... if I do that, are you gonna punch me again?" He leaned in to whisper "in all seriousness though, sorry I pissed you off. If you don't want me to talk about certain things, just tell me okay?"

flying_purple_monkfish wrote:Matt smiled and pulled away. "I respect that and apologize. I've got like.. no filter. I'll try not to share private details in future okay?" He reached out a hand. "Now will you dance with me?"

Kay shrugged. You're probably right. Let's just eat cake and ignore him. He smiled and made sure she had more cake.

flying_purple_monkfish wrote:"I don't like the word No" Matt grinned.

Kay looked amused. How often do you get to sit and gorge yourself on cake without judgement? Enjoy it.

flying_purple_monkfish wrote:Matt snickered and dragged Thalia up to dance. "I thought I was banned from the bedroom?" He joked.

Kay shook his head, amused as he tried the cake himself. I'm surprised Corvus can bake and decorate so well. Seems like a lot of hidden talents among this group.  

flying_purple_monkfish wrote:Matt pouted "Awww, you're so cruel to me." Dragging his feet wasn't gonna work. Matt just picked him up and spun him around.

That is rather surprising. He licked icing off his fingers. I wonder who else has any surprising talents we haven't learned about yet. You can't play the drums or something right? He joked, yeah he was in a weirdly good mood.
