Oh, I'm absolutely sure you're not wrong.
I'm sorry you've been hurt by this.

[proofofconcept]

[Every expression of sympathy just feels like it wounds him more. Like he can suppress it as long as no one acknowledges that maybe he has a right to be hurt. Then again, doesn't that just mean the hurt is there already, and he's just masking it?]

[Maybe.]

Thanks. i'm fine

[rosebyanyother]

Of course. Why should you be anything else?

[That may read as sarcasm over text, but Peter genuinely means it. (He doesn't really believe it, but that's different.)]

[It's a very sweet sentiment, all of what Huaisang says, but it doesn't hit Peter quite right. These aren't words he necessarily needs to hear.
He smiles a bit, kindly, but shakes his head as well.]

Believe me, I have no issue with reinventing myself. It isn't that I dislike the name Peter Nureyev or the person it represents. It's...special, really, in a way. That's what I meant when I said I'd let you use it, if the circumstances were different. A privilege, not something I'd be reluctant about.

[fanoperator]

If the circumstances were different. So I'm definitely still calling you Morrigan, right? [He doesn't mind in the least no matter which way Morrigan decides. He only wants to make sure he's using the name that makes his friend most comfortable.]

[rosebyanyother]

Yes, please

[fanoperator]

Mmkay. Kiss kiss, handsome.

Thank you. Though I doubt I'd consider entering a relationship with anyone you truly hated.

And if I did end up in one with Huiasang, I think you'd probably end up standing a better chance of getting along with him than Juno honestly.

[compellingstatement]

I can't see you liking anyone I truly hate in the first place.
But for the record:
- Belial
- Rip Van Winkle
- Quentin Beck
- The Chevalier

I can tolerate most other people. Even Juno. Even if he's an ass.

[rosebyanyother]

Of that list, I'm already entirely disinclined to do anything with two of them and am not compatible with a third. I think we'll be fine.

You are both, on occasion, asses. But I do love you both very dearly.

[That probably says something about him but Peter doesn't feel like performing the introspection necessary for it.]

[compellingstatement]

[Jon grumbles to himself that Juno is more of an ass.]

I have better eyes than him.

[More of them, certainly.]

[rosebyanyother]

"Better" is an interesting descriptor. Why that one?

[compellingstatement]

Clearly, I have more of them.

[rosebyanyother]

Superiority in numbers, yes, I see.

[Please imagine the driest tone possible while still being a little bit amused.]

[compellingstatement]

Much like my many eyes.

In any case, I probably ought to get back to work.
This Finder nonsense is always such a hassle.
