Voice || End of his Tether

[notjustinthemirror]

Alright. I fucking give up. Who the hell did I piss off this time?

I've impaled myself on my own mannequins, lit myself on fire, knocked a building down on my head, and I don't even want to know what the fuck I just teleported into, but it smells like something crawled up an asshole and died there.

[There's a loud crash and some scrabbling noises.]

And I almost got decapitated by a window.

What the fuck?

Comments

[notjustinthemirror]

Because he keeps talking about all of you like I should know who the fuck you guys are.

I didn't actually think you were butterflies either, but thanks for clearing that up.

[Someone you know is friends with this jerk.]

[quaerit]

[ Two people he knows have already warned him off, though. That’s also a thing. If the demon in the name hadn’t been enough to make Gansey wary, Adam and Ronan’s opinions certainly would. ]

I think you know well enough who we are. You’ve met our other friends, after all, and I’m led to understand it wasn’t a pleasant encounter.

[ His voice has gradually cooled. Gansey had started this conversation with sympathy; that’s ebbing away now that he knows who he’s talking to. ]

[notjustinthemirror]

Did he fucking tell everyone about that?

Sore loser.

[quaerit]

[ Gansey’s tone drops several more degrees. ]

You had a baseball bat. We don’t all have quite your level of tolerance for personal injury.

[notjustinthemirror]

I didn't at first.

I'm sure he would have pulled all his punches and made sure I was just fine at the end of the fight.

[quaerit]

[ It’s Ronan; he probably wouldn’t.

But on the other hand, it’s Ronan. ]

I’ll tell you what he wouldn’t do. He wouldn’t lay into someone weaker than him just to prove a point. There’s no excuse for that.

[notjustinthemirror]

Have you told him you think he's weak? He might be interested to hear that. And considering I didn't even come close to killing him I'm not sure why everyone is so pissed off about this. Well, everyone except Ronan himself.

Curious.

[quaerit]

I don’t think Ronan’s weak. I think there’s a difference between someone who can survive being impaled and set on fire, and someone who cannot.

This isn’t something I want to happen to one of my friends. I’m sure you can understand that.

[notjustinthemirror]

This is one of those 'just walk away and be the bigger man' things isn't it? I'm not going to go out of my way to have a rematch with him, but if he starts another fight, I'll be the one to finish it.

[quaerit]

[ And just like that, any hope of Gansey befriending this creature goes straight out the window. ]

Thank you for clarifying. I shouldn't have thought we have much more to talk about, in that case.

[notjustinthemirror]

Whatever you say.
