2/2

[corviform]

And I believe she's upset with me.

[hackitude]

Okay. So? Duh she's upset with you. You missed her birthday. Anyone would be upset about that.

Why does her being a woman make it any different? Just treat the situation exactly the same way you would if she were a man. Unless...

Wait. Do you like her? I mean. In the dating sense.

1/2 i'm sorry combo everywhere

[corviform]

Maybe, but she's been acting strange since even before that.

[ Of course, he was keeping some secrets from her. ]

2/2

[corviform]

What does that have to do with anything?

NO WORRIES 8D

[hackitude]

What? Obviously if you guys have some like, I don't know, weird sexual tension going on between you then the situation's totally different. It's a valid question, if I'm giving you advice here. I need to know these things!

[corviform]

[ His palms are sweaty enough now the communicator might slip from his hod. ]

There's nothing of the sort!

[hackitude]

Are you sure??

Because you need to be sure.

[corviform]

[ Typing quickly: ]

I'm very sure
she's engaged to someone

[ Who is dead.

She is also dead.

It's complicated. ]

[hackitude]

Okay. Good. Just checking.

[corviform]

[ There may or may not be something there, but he's got hang ups anyway.

[muffled kiss the girl in the distance] ]

So baking her something, even belatedly, would be alright?

[hackitude]

[Skye figures she's pried enough for one conversation. Without being in the same room as Gil to actually get a read on him, or seeing him and the girl in question in the same room together, she has no way of knowing what's really going on there. He may be telling the truth. Still, she keeps it in mind for future reference.]

Sure. Why not? Show your effort and apologize. Just be like, "Yo, I'm sorry I missed your b'day. I know this can't make up for it, but I hope it helps. Are we cool?"

[corviform]

I can do that.
What if she's still angry?

[hackitude]

Uh. Then I'd guess she's probably ticked off about something else. Because otherwise that's an unreasonable amount of anger re: a missed birthday.

[corviform]

I don't know what it is.
But thank you for your advice. I'm sorry to bother you over something like this.

[hackitude]

Here's a novel idea:

Why don't you ask her?

[corviform]

I already tried.

[hackitude]

... Oh. I guess that's... kinda trickier then.

And you can't think of anything else you've done?

[corviform]

Nothing else comes to mind.

[ He's explained the Loki situation to her and she seems to have accepted it... but it's hard to tell. ]

[hackitude]

... Huh. I dunno, then. Maybe just... give her some space?

[corviform]

That's what I've been doing.
Admittedly, it's a bit difficult when we live together.

[hackitude]

Yikes.

Do you need a place to crash?

[corviform]

No, that's alright.
If I avoid her altogether I'm sure it'll only upset her more. I was ported out for a while and it worried her.

[hackitude]

Oh, was that what happened? I wondered where you were.

... Maybe she was just worried about you.

[corviform]

It could be that, but she's been acting strangely for a while now.

[hackitude]

Huh. That is weird.

Well, that's about it for suggestions from me, then. Sorry I can't help you more. But I don't exactly know the girl in question, so... there's kind of a limit on how much I can really say.

Do you have any mutual friends?
