If by 'talked' you mean left me and Fern notes without saying a word, then sure, we talked.
[It's a sting even if he doesn't want it to be. That Glitch would just... go. He assumes it's due to the de-aging. He hopes it's due to the de-aging. ]
Trust me, I've already sent a message to Maul. He promised me he would leave Glitch alone and he broke that.
[And Ruby at least knows how seriously Varian takes promises.]
Thanks for taking him in. Look after him? He feels safe with you so that's something.
text: un: trienemybest
That sucks, I'm sorry.
But he's eight and scared, Varian. Maul had him afraid normally and he's a whole lot less capable at the moment. It's probably like October all over again for him.
[She's glad that Varian has already talked to Maul.]
Yeah. He mentioned that promise to me when I grilled him about the attack last month. I'm more than a little miffed about it too.
You doing okay? You don't have to answer that, but I know how much that means to you.
[Just not going to press and awkwardly try and find where their boundaries are now.]
Of course, he's family. I wouldn't turn him away.
I'll do just that, It's what a Huntress does after all. I'll try and get him to call you when he's up to it, alright?
no subject
[Because he thought he and Fern were family, too. He's never been the best with rejection. ]
I'm not great no. I'm angry this happened at all. He seemed to think this was fun. He told me he was trying to be a better person. I'm giving him the chance to prove that, but it's going to take him a long time to earn that trust back.
[Because Ruby does know him, and she knows he doesn't deal with broken promises easily.]
Thank you. I really do appreciate that. We were worried about him.
no subject
The house didn't feel safe and he reacted.
[She has thoughts on this whole situation but now really isn't the time for those.]
Yeah. I was really gunning on him taking this attempt seriously. He knows what I went through here with Neo, I thought that might have given him more to work toward when it came to changing.
I know it isn't easy, but I think you're handling this well so far. You have every right to be angry, but... I think he can change if he puts the effort into it. But that'll take time and he actually has to put the effort into it.
Maybe try reaching out to that Kenobi guy? He seems to use the same abilities as Maul but different. Maybe there's a way to detect if he tries something like this again or some way to just kind of safe guard the house?
I'm not suggesting anything revengey, but it might help give Glitch some piece of mind.
[The best she can do is point him what she feels is the right direction.]
You're welcome. It's the least I can do for either of you.
Worrying is good. It shows you care, he probably needs that right now.
no subject
I'm not planning on walking out on him. I know from experience that abandoning someone when they're slipping down does nothing but push them further. That's the last thing anyone wants. It won't fix anything.
But I need time to deal with it first. And what he did to Glitch.
...Maybe. At least that would give me a chance to prepare for it a little better. Just in case. Seen as trusting him NOT to do it isn't an option any more.
I guess. Doesn't feel like it right now.
no subject
[It wasn't really her place to push beyond that anymore. She felt like she understood why Glitch felt the way he did but she did understand how Varian felt too.]
You're right. I might try talking to him too, just need a different approach.
Take your time. I kind of need to do the same thing, I get it.
It sucks but maybe one day they wont be necessary. Once he makes the effort to rebuild that trust.
It might not, but that doesn't make it any less true.
no subject
Good luck, whatever it is you decide to do with him. He's pretty stubborn.
[Pot. Kettle. Black. He doesn't really know how more to go into this, not without disturbing a lot of emotional mess he's trying to settle first. He's not quite ready to open all that up just yet. He's still in baby steps to having a normal not-awkward conversation with her. ]
Sue thing. Thanks for letting me know, Ruby.
no subject
Yeah, but I deal with a lot of stubborn people. It's just a day that ends in Y.
[She knows that feeling a whole lot, but she's used to putting herself out there and even if they weren't what they were anymore, she was still very much Ruby Rose. Even so, she actually appreciates the step down for the moment.]
Of course. Be safe.
no subject
[At least they finally learned not to push too hard on one another's walls. That was... probably needed, and the sort of thing only learned with distance.]
You too. Try not to get murdered by snow zombies.
no subject
If it makes you feel any better. I know you'll work through this with Glitch too. I believe in you both.
[She doesn't believe for a second that Glitch actually doesn't feel unsafe around Varian, but that might be too much to say.]
Oh come on! That's like the best part of this month. You're no fun.
Kidding of course.
no subject
[And that would be the crux of the problem. Another sliver of feeling like he's failed someone he cares about. That he should have pressed Maul more to leave him alone, that he was stupid enough to believe Maul's word he wouldn't in the first place. That Glitch didn't feel safe enough to come to him. What sort of friend is he? ]
I know. Sorry, I decided to try my hand at being the Fun Police for a month. I don't think I'll stay on this side of the law, it's kinda boring and there's way fewer doughnuts than I was led to believe- but for this month here I am.
no subject
Once he's back to normal... Whenever that is I know you both will get your chance.
It's not like it's easy suddenly have a kid in the house either.
[Like she could talk suddenly taking on that responsibility, but surely giving Glitch knives and crayons to play with was the right choice. She certainly didn't know how to tackle the Maul thing herself. It was easy to talk to someone about redemption or improving their attitude, but they actually had to make the effort to follow through.]
Oh now. Clover got to you, didn't he? Or was it Max???
Those villains.
Seriously???? I thought the doughnuts were like the whole selling point to be on that side.
Are they even paying you for this work?
It sounds a whole lot like Atlas over there.
no subject
[Normal kids they are not. Maybe the fact one of them is called Angry will clue Ruby in on that.]
Max all the way. Clover would never turn to the dark side. And I know right! The doughnuts are lies, Ruby. Big, fat, greasy lies. I thought I was getting paid in doughnuts but now I'm not even sure.
Tragic.
no subject
We've had to help some kids a bit while we've been in Atlas, but Jaune either takes or gets suckered into that more than the rest of us. You're either good at it at first or it takes some work.
They sound like cute kids though, maybe sometime they'll end up here. Angry sounds like she'd get along with Yang pretty well.
[It's kind of weird but refreshing to talk about Atlas in a light that isn't all doom and gloom. Things were bleak but the time leading up to this had been a great learning experience.
There is a sting at the mention of Clover never turning to the dark side but she brushes that off for now.]
Clover would stick to the book, no matter what I think.
That's awful. They got you the same way I did with the pizza's. They're reading my playbook and using it for evil!!! That's the worst. The system is more corrupt than I thought.
no subject
She probably would. She's called Angry for a reason. They're good kids- they've had it really rough but they're doing better for themselves. I don't think I'd wish Deerington on them, though.
[He misses them awfully, but he doesn't want them to suffer here. Not when they've finally got their lives on track again, finally got some sort of safe routine going.]
That's so sad.
I know! You'd think I couldn't be suckered into that twice but here we are.
no subject
They sound like it. If they've got you and your friends helping them out they should be fine. I wouldn't wish Deerington on anyone honestly, except for the people here that don't want to leave.
[There's a small pause before she types in.]
It is.
[She hates the fact that she knows back home just to what length that had actually gone to.]
Jeez. Maybe one day you'll learn. Third time's a charm?
no subject
Yeah, those people should be able to stay, preferably without this town trying to murder them every month.
[That's a fun tragedy no one wants to know.]
Or forth! Give myself a little wriggle room.
