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.

[senseloss]

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.
