Indeed. The way I heard it, the things you said were largely unconscionable.

[But "cut and dry"? He suspects not.]

Do you think you're the first of us to try to drive people away? You're not. Ignoring what came out in the Palace, I've done it myself. I'm not blind or stupid.

[They do. Crow is just so fucking lovable. It's sickening. Except the cracks are showing now, wider and wider every day, and Magpie—well, he doesn't think he'd trade with Crow at all.]

I won't bullshit you either. You've made enemies tonight, and you won't unmake them any time soon.

I also exempted dealings with Crow from our deal, as I recall.

[Maybe. Part of him wants to say it just for payback. But only part.]

On the other hand, all of us have to live together. In this place. And from what I've observed, watching my alternates here, the thing that most defines us is our damage.

Perhaps Crow's ruined me. I don't know.

I don't know. Sometimes I think something in me died, by now. But we're not here to talk about me, no matter how tempting it is to evade.

What do you plan to do now?


[An apology is more than warranted, from everything Magpie's heard. This isn't a situation where it will fix nothing.]

Apologising would certainly be politically correct. Do you want to?

[Not exactly sounding like he's desperate for Falcon to apologise, tbh.]

Let me be clear. What you said won't go away with an apology. You injured many people who are significant to me, and none of us will forget it soon. The only purpose an apology would serve, as you imply, is to show willing.

[It really seems like he doesn't understand apologies for their own sake—which is perfectly true.]

But a lot of people went to a lot of trouble to free you from your chains. Including some of those same people. I would regret it if you felt your hand was forced in this way.

[Maybe. Maybe not. Magpie's edging around something, not quite saying it.]

Then that will suffice. As long as it *is* your own choice, and not something other.

[As he thought. It's clear as day that Falcon regrets enough of what happened, which casts more light on its cause.]
pancakeboy: ([1+2] [secret] no)

[It's okay. Magpie knows more than a little about regret by now. Sometimes he even struggles to avoid it. But there's one gift he can give, after his warnings; just a small one.]

Then I'll leave it to your best judgement.

I'll be around, if you want to talk.
