[He spent so long on this, revising it over and over to be less and less angry and petty and sarcastic. But he does want to do it for Taryon. He just has to try to hold back his impulsiveness and self-edit until he finally sends:]
I know you won't want to hear from me, and I hardly want to reach out like this, but Taryon is important to me, and friendship is important to him.
He did not say anything untoward or even exaggerated, as far as I can recollect. Before I had told him how I felt about him, he was talking about someone he had had a fun night with, like you do with friends. I am sure a singing shining star such as yourself has done your fair share of bragging in song alone, so you must understand. He did say the two of you didn't have sex and that was it, however my mind leapt to still lurid activities. Suffice to say, I'm not keen to divulge my personal history to you, so let us just say my life for nearly 2 centuries required my thoughts to be so lasciviously bent.
All this to say, I apologise. You don't have to like me, or even tolerate me. Just don't hold my mistakes against him.
[Ah, shit. Here we go again. Johnny was getting bad vibes the second he spotted that screen name. Who else would go around here calling himself "the pale elf" besides yours truly? Johnny was about to lay into Astarion until he actually read the message.
Instead of being met with a boatload of sass, he's greeted by a shockingly sincere message. Wtf? This surprises Johnny quite a bit.]
Lasciviously bent, huh? That's one hell of a quote. I might use that in the future.
[Okay, it's time for him to be an adult and respond back like one.]
No hard feelings, choom. Shit happens and I'll admit I blew a fucking gasket since I'm no good with this kind of touchy-feely stuff. It's just not my cup of tea, and I hate getting in the middle of someone else's affairs.
I honestly thought the worst of the situation since I'm used to bad shit happening. So yeah, I guess I have to apologize too for calling you two the medieval twinks brigade.
But yeah, no hard feelings. I'll talk to Taryon eventually, once lockdown ends. I don't see these chucklefucks keeping us locked up forever.
Feel free. Might not be the first time I've inspired a lyric or two.
[He's glad this seems to be going well-enough. Not being cussed out immediately is a plus in his book.]
We all may have been swayed by our own pasts. However, I feared Taryon being the one hurt most from the repercussions. He at least seems the most likely of us to have a cry over it.
