essek.

Don't tell me you were simply going to ignore it.

[ ESSEK ]

He might not even remember. What am I - how am I going to bring this up in any remotely not embarrassing way, Aventurine?!

[WHY TALK ABOUT IT WHEN YOU CAN SIMPLY IGNORE IT.]

[ Hmmmmm. ]

I'll bring it up with him.

[HELLO???]

Wha - No!

Then you tell him.

[ Stubborn. ]

[He makes a face not unlike a teenager being cornered into having to do something they don't wanna do.]

We will probably talk about it anyway. You are so bothersome.

Okay, Essek, next time I'll advise you to run away from all your problems. That'll solve things.

[ HE IS BEING SO HELPFUL? ]

[HE ISN'T!!!!!]

I'm not running away! No one ever wants to be forthcoming with me about anything regarding their feelings, and that is the one single aspect of life I don't understand or have experience in!!

[He yells this with slowly increasing exasperation but then sighs after and seems to feel better for it actually.]
