Erin's voice mail message is in a weary voice: "Erin Peters. If you called in the middle of the night and I didn't answer, I'm dying. If I pick up and someone on your end isn't dying, they will be shortly. Text otherwise."

text, after valdis

[personal profile] pointofhonoria 2022-12-04 12:08 am (UTC)(link)

Yeah so I just about served myself my own foot as a three course meal trying to talk to that Valdis woman. Feel like a right damn fool.

pointofhonoria: (season 2; yeah right)

[personal profile] pointofhonoria 2022-12-04 12:55 am (UTC)(link)

Erin, I love you, and if it were just that I'd be laughing with you, but I'm being serious, it was not the fun kind of making a bloody fool of myself. Felt like I was driving myself in circles.

pointofhonoria: (season 2; awkward)

[personal profile] pointofhonoria 2022-12-04 03:06 am (UTC)(link)

Look I ain't good at this stuff, y'know? Negotation ain't my area. And I went in a bit aggravated after catching a photo of her with a knife to your damn throat that she then chose to dance around explaining, so

I just fumbled it, alright. Tried to get across that I don't care if you two fight so long as no one's killing anyone and she's not just looking for an excuse to hurt you, which she took like I was making a judgement instead of covering the basics.

And then she came to continue the conversation in person and started poking at personal stuff.

I dunno. Sorry. I didn't handle it well. I ain't the League's negotiator for a reason.

pointofhonoria: (season 3; grumpy)

[personal profile] pointofhonoria 2022-12-04 04:57 am (UTC)(link)

She seemed to think you have no interest in learning about her or being learned about. Said it's part of why she wants the fight, to learn. So. There's that.

Coulda done with knowing you offered to go to the death, by the way. Weren't fun having that sprung on me again.

I know you didn't get hurt. But she kept not giving me straight answers and then when she came by my cabin she used the knife stuff to embarrass me. Made a jab about just because I like being pinned doesn't mean she does, after she startled telling reactions out of me. Was awkward enough facing her knowing it was sorta her fault you were even in the mood that night and I dunno.

Now I'm just sorta sat here feeling like an idiot.

Crabb, of course, having no idea Valdis could feel her emotions.

pointofhonoria: (season 2; grump)

[personal profile] pointofhonoria 2022-12-04 05:32 am (UTC)(link)

Alright, then. She did say something about how going to the death would teach her more, even if she didn't want to, so if you were just trying to get across what she was getting into if she wanted something you can't give without that risk then. Okay. Maybe try tell her that again, as well as explaining the other thing. Get things set straight.

Sorry.

She hits send on the 'sorry' and then doesn't even know what she's saying sorry for, she just feels... out of sorts, after that conversation. She's got by without making any genuinely bad impressions so far but feels like she's given just that. She's embarrassed in a not fun way.

She sighs.

I know you were trying to keep me involved and in the loop here.

[personal profile] pointofhonoria 2022-12-04 06:08 am (UTC)(link)

Probably wasn't on my best behaviour myself really, I'm too blunt tongued for stuff like this sometimes but yeah I dunno. It's fun when you tease me and just banter when Johnny does but that didn't feel like either.

Am glad you trust me even if I feel like I didn't much live up to it this time.

pointofhonoria: (season 3; talking gesturing)

[personal profile] pointofhonoria 2022-12-04 06:31 am (UTC)(link)

Ugh I dunno, the whole thing just felt like a mess. I went in too rough and I let her rile me up. I should've thought it through and talked to her proper like.

I try real hard not to make bad impressions here when we're all stuck together like we are. Should've tried harder but I didn't.

pointofhonoria: (season 2; hrumph)

[personal profile] pointofhonoria 2022-12-04 06:47 am (UTC)(link)

You're sweet, petal, you really are and I love it and you but God I feel like the blunt instrument everyone thought I was right now and I don't like that feeling nor is it the easiest thing to bleedin shake.

So long as you actually go get yourself healed up if you get hurt then, sure. You can have more interesting fights with people closer to your level and I'm fine with you indulging that if you think it through.

pointofhonoria: (season 2; smile)

[personal profile] pointofhonoria 2022-12-04 07:04 am (UTC)(link)

Despite all grumpiness that makes her smile.

Five whole minutes squealing, huh? I'm glad you like it, was a lil nervous to try the endearments out. Like making you happy though.

And thanks. I know, y'know, but feelings know nothing sometimes.

pointofhonoria: (season 2; sideways smile)

[personal profile] pointofhonoria 2022-12-04 07:22 am (UTC)(link)

See that sure causes me to feel some kinda way but where even is the line with too much information when we've slept together and had talks so involved I come out of them feeling like my face is literally on fire?

Will admit to being a bit pleased when I'm the first with something.

Seeing as Erin's her first... almost everything, sometimes it's kinda nice when its her turn.

Well, I sure ain't going to be anywhere but there for you, I wanna be there. And I ain't gonna stop being me.

Love you. Thanks for trusting me even with the stuff I ain't always sure about.

pointofhonoria: (season 3; eye roll)

[personal profile] pointofhonoria 2022-12-04 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)

Cue Crabb taking a couple minutes to reply after fumbling and dropping her own phone on her face.

Bloody merciless tease, you are.

pointofhonoria: (season 3; fond look)

[personal profile] pointofhonoria 2022-12-04 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)

Love you too. Talk later.
