What do you do if you're angry at someone, but it's not really their fault, it's just the way things are, but you're still angry and don't want to apologize, and you know they won't apologize, and...

[He trails off, realizing he's rambling rather badly]

I hate being upset with people.

away from felix ad infinitum.

[kethedammit]

I just try not to think about him. Don't work too good, most of the time.

[lioneyed]

[He sighs heavily]

No, it doesn't.

[kethedammit]

I reckon... us being mad at him, sometimes, it's something he wants. Sometimes, thinking that, it helps. [But only sometimes.]

[lioneyed]

It does seem to be something he... expects, sometimes. But not this time, I think.

[kethedammit]

...Yeah, sometimes it sneaks up on you. [Mildmay considers himself an expert on Being Mad At Felix at this point, though he wouldn't put it that way himself.] Uh, anything I should know about?

[lioneyed]

Not really. We had an argument, and I said something I shouldn't have and it sparked him off. And for some reason I just can't let it rest.

[kethedammit]

Yeah. Sorry. It's, uh... shit. It's like a splinter.

[lioneyed]

One that you can't get out, yes.

I suppose I should just apologize and get it over with.

[kethedammit]

He might always just fucking forget about it.

[lioneyed]

I'm not certain that would make me much happier.

[kethedammit]

Shit, sorry. I probably ain't the best one to ask about this shit.

[lioneyed]

No, it's fine. I don't really know anyone else who knows him as well as I do here, and you know him even better than that.

[kethedammit]

I guess. I never could change nothing, though.

[lioneyed]

Neither could I. I suppose it'd be worrisome if he did suddenly change.
