[He's tempted to tell her not to worry, that Magnus will forgive her like everyone else did, but Taako decides that he'd rather her stew in it, at least for a little while.]

"I erased your memories because I thought I knew better than all of you but if you drink this ichor you can have them back" ?

[Well. Being polite lasted two whole texts.]

[scholiast]

(There it is. She'd been expecting it, but it still stings.)

Hmmm I dunno, kind of shifts the focus a little bit but we can workshop it. There are some good ideas in there.

[spellslots]

[He types out "go fuck yourself" and nearly, nearly sends it, before he reminds himself this is about Magnus, not him. That alone is a goddamn struggle.]

What would you say?

[scholiast]

Anything along the lines of what we had planned. That the ichor would allow access to things he had forgotten, but that he may not like what he remembers. That we won't force him into anything if he doesn't want to drink.

And if he refuses, we leave, I guess.

(She wonders dully if Magnus will be affected by her appearance at all. Hopefully it won't distract him or anything.)

[spellslots]

Fine.

[It's short, but short is better than cussing at her.]

Should I do that shitty thing where you text someone with "we need to talk" or do I invite him out for coffee and we spring it on him?

[scholiast]

'We need to talk', I think it'll set the mood better. Give him a little heads up.

(She has no idea how to address this next bit without sounding like an asshole so she's just going to do it, sorry Taako.)

Look, I know this situation is very far from ideal for you but we need to be able to do this without snapping at each other. Okay?

[spellslots]

Yeah, no shit, Lucretia.

[scholiast]

Just checking that if the perfect opportunity to dunk on me mid-conversation comes up you're not going to take that shot. That's all.

[spellslots]

I got it, thanks.

You think you can spend a whole conversation without being patronizing or like, are we asking too much with that?

[scholiast]

Could be tough but I think I can manage it, for you.

[spellslots]

[It's so familiar, trading little snide remarks with Lucretia, but usually they never mean it.]

Go fuck yourself.

I'll text you a time and place.

[scholiast]

(This would be hilarious in literally any other circumstance.)

Got it.

Thanks.
