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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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...
