I'd say I'd trust him as far as I can throw him, but we all know my range is fucking absurd.

It's less trust than obligation. I owe him an explanation and I'm not gonna wait for the Wyrd to twist my arm on it. That's why I'm telling you guys, anyway, so he doesn't fuck himself over by blabbing to people.

Thank you. I am not exactly a neutral observer, where Artemis is concerned, but...I am glad for this.

[breakaleginhalf]

Yeah, for you this is a hundred percent a "you are emotionally invested in a man I've accidentally traumatised a little bit and if/when he goes running to you now you have forewarning" courtesy call.

[senseloss]

I appreciate that. And sort of hope he does come running to me?

...when did I become the sort of person who has emotional investments?

[breakaleginhalf]

Probably when you found people that didn't know what Winter was, so there's no like. Preconceived notions that you're supposed to be a frigid sociopath. So you let your guard down.

[senseloss]

Ouch. But you're not wrong. I fucked up by letting my guard down.

I've been told I have a distinct talent for calling people on their bullshit.

And it's really not a fuck-up. I doubt Artie's gonna judge you for all the shit you beat yourself up about.

He makes me feel more alive, gets me to try things I'd be scared of. I live for the moments when I manage to surprise him.

...you're not allowed to tell him I said that.

I'll add it to the list. Which now includes "Bugsy thinks he's cute", by the way, but that might come out anyway because Bugsy's full of hot air.
