This is taking this April Fools' thing just a hair too far, isn't it? Waking up with male, erm, equipment is not my idea of a good joke.

Does... anyone have clothes they're not currently using that I could try?

She is a coworker and pleasant acquaintance. The costs of offering do not outweigh the risks of devalued acquaintance. I apologize if I offended you for offering. She had assured me you were only friends; had I been made aware of your affections, I would have made no such remark.

Perhaps you do not know her as well as you believe or you know her in a different manner.

As I told you before, you have not offended me and I am only her friend and not interested in any more. Even if I was, I would not be offended by someone offering her clothes, as you seem to be.

She isn't cruel.

Then the matter is settled.

[Filter: Helenus]

I agree. Relevance?

~~Barely.~~ Alright.

[Filter: Phonos]

You misunderstood whatever she told you.

I am certain I did not. She was very plain in her words and repeated the sentiments numerous times.

~~Then maybe there's just something wrong with you.~~ Perhaps she didn't mean to hurt you. At least you now know what others see as your faults and you can try to change them.

She did not hurt me, nor did she mean to. I am not interested in changing because I do not view those traits which she considers faults as such.

Then maybe they're not faults, just reasons why you two would not work.

She did not list them as reasons we would not work. The disagreement itself is likely why we would not work.

That is, of course, if I was interested, which I am not.

What was it she said? It seems strange that she would list your faults simply to list them. There must be a misunderstanding.

Of course you're not.

There was no misunderstanding, Helenus. If you desire to know what she said, you should ask her.

Thank you.

Enough, you two.

He already knows what I said and what you said, Phonos.

Why you find me and what I had to say so offensive is beyond me. I misread you when I thought you might not hold affections--you were offended at that. THESE ARE NOT FAULTS!

You've made your point explicitly clear. Everything I have said and done has offended you. Every answer I've given you to any questions you have had has offended you.

Our ongoing relationship will be strictly work-related from here on out, just as my and Helenus's relationship will be as it has been: A close friendship, as it has been and as it shall be.

Figure out your fucking emotions, Phonos. I'm through attempting to do so, regardless of how I may feel. You win.

Sorry.

...

What do I do?

~~Why me? I should be advising men on matters of state and war. Not a god on emotions. My track record with emotions suck. Go ask Paris or Aphrodite or someone who gets this stuff.~~

Do you want honest advice? This can't be ignored. Emotions are part of being mortal. It's time for you to figure out your own. Why did any of what she said offend you? If you don't know, then apologize and tell her that. Honesty's usually a good bet ~~or it destroys things~~

It did not offend. I vehemently disagreed and the argument continued. I did not desire for it to do so any longer.

You two...communicate very differently. Not every argument can end because you want it to. Obviously by cutting off one when you did left Melinoe with the impression you had been insulted.

What do you recommend then?

Talk to her and listen to what she says. Even if you don't like it. Melinoe is more like mortals then the rest of her family. She feels and if you want any kind of relationship with her, you have to learn how to understand that.

~~I want nothing with her.~~

How should I begin such a conversation?

An apology for ~~being a living computer~~ causing the misunderstanding. Explain why you are not actually offended.

Not even a comfortable friendship?

Perhaps I am seeing something that is not there, and forgive me if I am, but you seem to be trying rather hard for someone who does not have any intentions at all. There is nothing wrong with enjoying the company of others.

Can I communicate the message here or must I visit her?

We are coworkers and pleasant acquaintances.

Very well. I enjoy her company and I have intention to keep her company for as long as it is enjoyable. When it ceases to be enjoyable, as it perhaps has already, then I see no reason to continue ~~our relationship~~ to seek her company.

~~How old are you?~~

It's more convincing in person, but you can speak on here too, if you feel more comfortable that way.
