[ yeah, he's thinking about things yesterday. anyway. ]
This has been an eventful week, and we aren't even halfway through it. [ a beat. ] Is everything okay with you, Marcoh? You seemed very upset earlier about telling me you loved me.
[ It's okay Marcoh is literally the same. He Gets It. ]
Of course. [ Though speaking of Fidelio he really was going to ask. ] His brother not causing you too much trouble? Do we have to give him a distraction so you can have some time?
I'd certainly hope so! [ but that's light, and he reaches to rest a hand on marcoh's arm. ] Thank you. As ever, your words mean more to me than you know.
[ It's not like he's not trying to be encouraging, it is in fact very much on purpose, but he always seems a little quiet whenever people comment back so sincerely. ]

[ he does not seem offended, he's just curious. ]

[ A little awkward. Then as best sincerely as he can, ]
Yoji gets jealous easily and I don't want to upset him.

Ah, I think he'd understand a curse. [ ... ] So the two of you, then...?
no subject
[ But yeah he nods, a little stiffly like he's not generally used to being able to admit something like this but. He can now! And it's nice. ]
no subject
I'm happy for you. And I'm glad you allowed yourself that happiness.
no subject
Thanks. It's -- it's been nice.

Truly it is a blessing to find something like this after death. A surprise, too, but the battlefield does make for harrowing bonding.
no subject
I don't think the place matters too much.
[ Then again, Marcoh's been lowkey in crisis mode his entire life so maybe he just doesn't really know. ]
I was a little surprised he actually said yes, but... yeah.
[ Yaaay! ]
no subject
Why would you be surprised?

[ He thinks that is maybe the phrase? Some parts personal stuff but that's all aside. ]
It's alright, we have figured it out. It might not be for forever but I wouldn't pass on it for anything.

Good. I'm glad.
no subject
he takes that should clap with a little laugh. ]
Thank you. [ he's a little flustered. ] If you'll keep that knowledge quiet, I'd appreciate it. A few people likely suspect, but...
[ he's an immensely private person when it comes to this sort of thing. and also fidelio would break his kneecaps. ]
no subject
Of course. [ Though speaking of Fidelio he really was going to ask. ] His brother not causing you too much trouble? Do we have to give him a distraction so you can have some time?
no subject
I wouldn't turn you down! [ a little tail wag. ] I don't know what he thinks about it. I care for him too - our Del.
[ affectionately using basilio's nickname... it's rubbed off on him. ]
I wouldn't want to upset him, but he does need to understand that I am not looking for his approval in this matter. Respectfully.

Haha. I only mean that Basilio is his own man. He can make his own decisions - I am no villain come to steal him away and lock him in a tower.
But I do understand the protectiveness.

[ He's cognisant enough that he's not great at jokes, he's too stoic for it. ]
You're a better partner than Riccardo could ever be.
