[scholiast]

Yeah, I'd say so.

[spellslots]

You get one "I told you so", better save it if you wanna do it in person

[scholiast]

I told you so.

(She does what she wants.)

Are you okay?

[spellslots]

Yeah, I mean, Taako's always good

Is Magnus good? I'm gonna assume he's talked to you based on the lack of questions

[scholiast]

Good.

He uhhh told me not to text you, actually.

(So maybe she shouldn't say anything? She's unsure.)

[spellslots]

In a 'I don't want Taako to know I'm not cool with this' kinda way or a 'don't yell at Taako on my behalf' kinda way

[scholiast]

... The second one.

You can't get angry with me though, I held up my end.

[spellslots]

It's not your fault I'm an idiot

[scholiast]

You're not an idiot, Taako, you're just... stupid.

[spellslots]

You know those are synonyms right
Like
You're a writer you should know that

[scholiast]

Rhetorical repetition. It's a literary device, don't change the subject.

What are you going to do?

[spellslots]

I have to do more?

[scholiast]

(Why her, why this.)

He's upset with you, and you're just going to leave it until everything blows over and goes back to normal?

[spellslots]

[Taako types "he'll get over it" and the realizes how bad that sounds and tries again]

I can't change anything! What am I supposed to do? I thought like, space would be good?

[scholiast]

I think that space is good initially but

I don't know, I don't have any of the details– what did you say to him?

[spellslots]

That I was into someone and he was into me, and that we should stop sleeping together but like, less bad than that

I wasn't a dick about it!

[scholiast]

I wasn't saying that you were, just that

(There's no point in telling him the whole thing wasn't great from the start. Nothing anybody can do about that now. She sighs, and considers her next message for a long moment.)

Never mind. I know you did what you had to do even though it wasn't what he wanted to hear.

[spellslots]

It's not like I planned this shit, Lucretia

[scholiast]

I'm aware. I just feel badly for Magnus, that's all.

[spellslots]

I do too, I didn't think he'd be like, that upset.

[scholiast]

Sometimes feelings can be more complicated that you initially realise.

[spellslots]

It's not like I'm going anywhere

[scholiast]

Of course not. But you're not... uh, there in the capacity that he wants you to be, so it's tricky.

[spellslots]

The capacity where he fucks me? 🤷

[Oh no he's getting Shitty]
