First I would hear what you think should be done. What do you envision to be a better path?

[maybe if you hadn't thrown such a fit about Cesare controlling you he wouldn't be a dick about making you come up with your own answers here]

[foundjuanting]

[YEAH WELL MAYBE YOUR FACE]

...

My temper has caused rifts before, I would see it controlled.

[shit, that one literally hurt to say.]

[maleborgia]

[look, you were the one who asked to do penance.]

And how might you do that?

[foundjuanting]

If I knew, do you think that I would be confessing?

[maleborgia]

You have had time to recognize your mistake and to think about what you should do differently in the future. I see no reason why you cannot think about this as well. That shall be your task. Think about how you would keep your temper in check, especially against your own family, and come up with ideas for what you can when you next feel your rage building uncontrollably. I command you to do this as penance for your sins and I additionally ask you to do it as your brother who needs your help to keep our family together.

[foundjuanting]

[fuck wait what why are you suddenly the older one :<]

...I will do so, brother.

[maleborgia]

[a) I was always the older one you just take forever to figure these things out, b) excuse, you are the one who came to me about this]

Good.

Now, was there anything else you wanted to talk to me about?

[foundjuanting]

None that I can, at least not now. However later I may speak with you of another matter.

[maleborgia]

Oh? Why not now?

[foundjuanting]

Because I do not yet know the nature of the affair, not entirely.

[maleborgia]

Do you know when you will?

[foundjuanting]

No.

I've developed a... fondness for someone, and I do not yet know if the matter is as complicated as it would seem.

1/2

[maleborgia]

[this look for a moment. you are really not subtle, do you know that? why on earth you're beating around the bush is beyond him.]

[maleborgia]

All right. Whenever you want to discuss it, I'll listen.

[foundjuanting]

[I AM SUBTLE WHAT]

Why do you look at me like that?

[maleborgia]

I'll tell you when we have this conversation.

[foundjuanting]

Very well.

Aside from this confession, has this place treated you well this night?

[maleborgia]

I didn't see anything unusual, if that is what you mean. Actually, I've never seen a boggart, just heard stories about them.

[foundjuanting]

You have been here for years, how have you managed to escape them?

[maleborgia]

[joking, obviously] Maybe there is nothing that I fear.

[foundjuanting]

Now you have surely sealed your fate, I can even hear them calling for you, clawing at the door.

[maleborgia]

Are you so sure they are not returning for you?

[foundjuanting]

... I hope not, I do not need a specter of my father touching me in such a way again.

[maleborgia]

Fortunately, I hear no noises. You're safe for the night.

[foundjuanting]

Still, I would have some wine to fortify me for the evening.

...more wine.

[maleborgia]

Clean up here and I'll bring us some.

[foundjuanting]

I will.

[...YEAH HE. DOESN'T REALLY COME BACK FOR THE NIGHT. like the next time there's a peep out of him is. well. him stumbling down in the morning.]

[maleborgia]

[not to have been totally affected by living in Canada for three years, but he's awake, he's dressed, and he's sitting on the sofa drinking a cup of tea.

you better have cleaned up your mess.]

Good morning.

[foundjuanting]

[looks like hell ran him over]

speak quietly.

[maleborgia]

[you're not leaving this house until you clean up after yourself, mister]

I'm surprised you're awake already.

[foundjuanting]

Harley woke me... I suspect she will be indisposed for some time yet.

[maleborgia]

Well? Be a gentleman and bring her something to drink. There are glasses in the kitchen.

[foundjuanting]

I was already tending to her, brother.

[Actually no wait, dashing to the kitchen now]

[maleborgia]

[going back to his tea] Forgive me for not assuming you already were.

[foundjuanting]

[GIVE HIM A MOMENT, Everything is spinning and horrible?

...

okay good.]

I expect her to stay here for a few hours, she is in no state to return to her home.

[maleborgia]

[are you implying that this is my canada and you have to ask permission for things like this to happen? good.]

I expect that everything will be cleaned by the time I return later today.
