[Hmmmmm... Syrlya is going to be polite and not comment on the marks on his neck.]

Most likely, you were cursed by the goddess. Which is something I think most people will understand when explained to them.

[passthrough]

A-ah. I figure as much. But...

I still said such horrible things to everyone. To you, Syr... how I was treating you, how much I ended up just taking you for granted and not caring about you, I... put you in an awkward position.

[...

His head bows, hands clenching to his legs.]

I'm sorry. Sincerely.

[chronosynthesis]

You're forgiven. [Because Otegine was not in his right mind, so Syrlya doesn't hold it against him.

He does, however, hold it against the goddess.] I hope you did not come to too much harm while you were out of sorts.

[passthrough]

[His shame hasn't lifted in the slightest. But he nods his acknowledgement nonetheless.]

Something like that. I don't blame any of it... Really, I'm lucky I didn't end up worse off. I think Adelis was about ready to kill me.

[chronosynthesis]

Oh my. [Syrlya covers his mouth, suspenseful. This will either be funny or require care.] What happened with Adelis?

[passthrough]

I... I walked onto his property and started taking things from his orchard. When he came after me, I-I just... I egged him on until he started throwing weapons at me.

[It's stupid. It sounds so stupid coming out of his mouth.]

[chronosynthesis]

[Okay, it's kinda funny since Otegine seems stable. Fuck around and find out.]

As far as I know Adelis uses knives. If you need to avoid work that will pull any stitches, do let me know.

[passthrough]

Eh? N-no, no, I'll be fine! The worst he really did was step on me and threaten to cut a few pieces of me off. [He's already short enough, he doesn't want to be made any shorter!!!]

Besides, I left all that to you yesterday. I should be picking up the slack.

[chronosynthesis]

He stepped on you? [Okay, Syrlya can't hide amusement at that. Sorry, Otegine. The mental image is just very funny.]

Well, if you're sure. You just seem a little roughed up, so I'm guessing he isn't the only altercation you had.

[passthrough]

Mn... most people didn't resort that far, but...

[...]

I guess Steinbeck got me good. I couldn't even stand up for a little while.

[chronosynthesis]

[Syrlya lowers his hand.] What did Steinbeck do?

... Nothing to do with those bruises on your neck?

1/2

[passthrough]

[...

His hand numbly moves to his neck, brows creased. What?]

[passthrough]

[inward screaming commences

His hand slaps to his neck as he starts to turn red.]

Wh--- n-no!! No, no no no no, that wasn't him! That definitely wasn't him!

[chronosynthesis]

[Aha.

He had a guess.

Syrlya holds a hand up, waiting for Otegine to calm down a bit.] Just checking. As long as you aren't badly injured, I won't be worried.

But if anything happened you want to talk about, I will listen. I know you were not feeling like yourself. [And he could be confused about anyone he hurt emotionally, if not physically.]

[passthrough]

[aaaaaaaa]

Steinbeck took a knee to my crotch, is what he did. I... I've been better, but... i-it's fine.

Besides, it wasn't like I wasn't feeling like myself. Not... exactly, anyway.

[chronosynthesis]

Were not acting like yourself, then. [He raises a brow.] Unless there is something I don't know and driving people to step on you and knee you in the groin is a common occurrence.

[passthrough]

[He shoots the dullest, driest look on earth to Syrlya.]

No. No, it is not.

[chronosynthesis]

[Syrlya lets out a breathy chuckle, pushing out of his chair to come around to Otegine. He reaches to put a reassuring hand on his shoulder.] You were cursed by the goddess, and most people will understand that and forgive you for your transgressions while under her influence. Don't worry too much about it.

But I mean it, if you need to talk. I'm always here for you.
