meli_mollifies

You've brought it up to Meli and my name was the one worth mentioning here so you must be concerned or bothered by it. I would say threatened but I doubt I could threaten Murder.

Melinoe and I are nothing but friends. If you're interested, then feel free to act on that.

What other name would I mention? I was not so aware of you as Makaria.

Excuse me?

If you were not aware of me, then why mention me?

She's a beautiful and interesting woman, it's not bad to be interested.

You have misread. "I was not so aware of you." That is, I expected Makaria to have responded. You were unexpected. That is all.

I am not interested, Helenus.

[Filter; Helenus]

She proclaimed affections for me while simultaneously telling me of my faults. I have no interest for that.

I'm sorry.

Can I ask why you offered then? Makaria is her sister, I am her friend. What are you?

[Filter: Phonos]

That does not sound like Melinoe, maybe you've misread something.

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.

[Filter: Helenus]

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.

[Filter: Meli]

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.

I apologize for causing the misunderstanding.

I was not offended. I simply did not wish to continue the conversations. If you wish to talk, I will listen, even if I do not like what you have to say.

[It's becoming painfully aware that He-Meli has had more than her fair share of shots. And things. And is sounding reasonably angry.]

Then-- don' ahsk things you don' whant answers to! [In the background, some giggling from a woman and Meli sounds fairly distracted] No. Go dance by yourshelf...
