[You know, were there different circumstances, Varian would have treasured these gifts. He would have been so touched by them. But after seeing the state it left Glitch in- seeing the note left for him, it's done nothing but left a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach.
I will try to do better.
But that's a lie. What worse, Maul went back on a promise. That's something Varian can't forgive easily. The betrayal stings hard and it breaks his heart to do it- but he packs the gifts back and sends a delivery dog to drop them back at Maul's doorstep. There's a note resting amongst them- one he had to re-write so many times.]
I'm sorry, I can't accept these. You broke into Glitch's room (while he's still stuck at age eight, by the way) and scared him so much he's left the house for who knows how long.
You promised me that you'd leave him alone. And you broke that promise. I told you not to make a promise you wouldn't keep with me, I told you how important kept promises were to me and you broke it anyway.
If you want to be better, you can start by giving people trying to help you a modicum of respect. I'm not willing to help someone who can't even give me that. I might be a self-loathing mess, but even I have lines. You crossed mine.
I think you'd best take some time to think about what's actually important to you. Because from where I'm standing right now, it's blatantly not me.
