Please. Everybody loves a mushy romantic guy.

I already had plenty of survival skills from home. But...well, I spent two whole years basically trying to kill him.

[westedge]

[ he rolls his eyes, taking a sip of his coffee but he's kind of grinning at that anyway. but this isn't about that. this is about other things. ]

Okay. New question. How easy would it be to explain to this guy why you've been trying to kill him for two years?

[huntressinred]

Pretty easy. Whether or not it was a good reason is up for debate now, though.

[ pancakes are set on the table, but jonas ignores that for a second. ]

Okay. Well, I'm not him, but pretend I am for a moment. What would you say the reason was if you had to explain it to him?

[huntressinred]

I thought he ruined my life...and also I didn't realize he was actually a person.

[ wow! saying it like that really makes her feel even worse about it!! ]

[westedge]

[ he's just...squinting about this. hold on. ]

So he looks like a ghost. But he's also a person? Who was involved and looked like he ruined your life but didn't. Did I get that right?

[ since he knows enough about val's lore to sort of cobble together a guess. ]

[huntressinred]

He's...half-ghost. It's a thing. And he looks different when he's a ghost. I didn't know it until...well, here, basically.

And I don't know what was up with him and that dog when they ruined my life, but...knowing him as a person, I know he wouldn't have done that to me on purpose.

[ raising an eyebrow higher. ]

Ghost transformation. Okay, yeah, I can see how that might get confusing. [ ...but he hums in thought. ] I can see how apologizing might not feel like enough. Do you...I mean, it sounds like a person you maybe recognize if you want to actually apologize. Have you guys spoken much as, uh, people?
