[ Cracking jokes to survive in this farce of a heaven is very valid. He'll take what Lucas says at face value though, since he's not interested in gossip. If Lucas is happy from the love and kindness from elsewhere, then that is fine. ]
Good to hear. And... you joke about that, but I keep thinking certain things in a marriage context, because that's all he's been talking about for weeks. It was so bad that I thought Jacopo was proposing to me instead.
[Adolphe is so cute and funny. Good for him. Lucas appreciates that he doesn't have to fight to defend his platonic bonds which are very important to him.]
Has it? I suppose he's been a little... excited, with the possibility of so many relationships to encourage. He would get so excited every time I "fell in love", even though I was cursed every Wednesday without fail.
[SUBDUE BUT GENTLY. Fortunately or unfortunately, Lucas is not in his Catholic Guilt era and he's still SO insane, so he just cocks his head to the side in faint confusion...]
[He would not know, because there's nothing he currently feels guilty about that he can actually stand to think about for longer than two seconds... But Adolphe still gets a look of quiet sympathy regardless.]
I'm sorry that you've had to hold on to such a heavy thing.

[PLEASE HE IS SO TIRED.]
That's quite funny, though.

[ Lucas falling in love every Wednesday?! ]
I saw the mess between you, Elysia, and Jacopo. That was...
[ ......................... ]
... something.
[ he has the eloquence of a sleepy dog ]

[HE HAD SUCH A FUCKING HARD TIME. me as adolphe though girl mood. His expression sours just a bit at the mention of that whole fiasco, though.]
Whoever did that had very terrible timing.
no subject
Oh. Did you get into an argument with Jacopo around that time?
[ Wait. ]
I mean, a real one that doesn't involve curses.
no subject
[They are both such volatile and insane men.]
I hadn't had the chance to speak with him again before that... happened.
no subject
Do you want to try again while you're here? Or...
no subject
Oh - we were able to speak about it afterward. It was just a bit more awkward, given everything.
no subject
[ The man is so violent. ]
no subject
[He would not know, he has only spoken to Jacopo (looks) none times on this side at this point. OH JACOPO.]
no subject
[ No hesitation. ]
no subject
I still need to find him and speak with him here.
no subject
[ Subdue! But gently. ]
no subject
Whyever do you think I'd let that happen?
no subject
[ He'd know. ]
no subject
Are you speaking from experience, my dear?
no subject
[ aka don't call him out on it?? ]
no subject
You ask much of me.
no subject
Lucas...
no subject
I shouldn't tease you so soon, should I...
no subject
[ The guilt. ]
no subject
I'm sorry that you've had to hold on to such a heavy thing.
no subject
I don't know if I can forgive myself for the things I've done, but life goes on regardless.
no subject
Life does have a way of continuing regardless... Even in death, as we've seen. [He was SOOO RIGHT about there being an afterlife, HAH!]
Even so, I pray that you may find what you need to reach that point of forgiveness.
no subject
Adolphe feels grateful for Lucas regardless and nods. He's not the praying sort of guy, but he understands the sentiment.
And we can end it here wooooo ]
