IC: forward cut because bitchfight

[maleborgia]

*It might take a day or so but, yes, Cesare remembers he and Shaun were arguing and that it had quickly devolved into insults and maybe he should do something about all of that. Clashing world views and all that, but he might as well do the decent thing and make an overture.

In light of that, he's standing outside the Assassin cabin, one hand cupped to his mouth.*

Shaun? Are you in there?

Ed

OH GDI THIS IS JUST A CONTINUES POST FOR ALL BITCHFIGHTS EVER.

*waiting!*

[sharpasafawkes]

A bit.

[maleborgia]

They are doing a shoddy job of it, but you can see what they are attempting. It's a nice thought, even if it creates greater problems.

[sharpasafawkes]

I don't like being treated like some sort of cripple, this is exactly why I tried to keep it from getting out in the first place. Doesn't matter if people are just a bit more understanding, now I'm going to get all the wrong sort of pitty and shuttered away from it all...

-which you'd think Malik'd understand, wouldn't you? He's been through the same treatment, but no, I'm just going to end up on the sidelines again, and it's not even like there's teams for me to oversee here.

[maleborgia]

Yes, you would think so. Except none of you are the best at dealing with other people. Don't get offended at that; you know it's true. It can be difficult to manage one person like that when he decides to dig in his heels over something, much less two of them. Let me help you handle them.

[sharpasafawkes]

I'm not sure how I should take that comment, especially since you haven't got the art down yourself, but it might be useful if you can figure out what on earth they're doing.

[maleborgia]

I can do it when I have to. Frankly, I don't try much around you.

[sharpasafawkes]

I know, that's what makes the problems show through. It's good that you do it though, means that you can work on it before they break through to the surface and make a mess of everything.

[maleborgia]

See? There's a logic to it. Tell me what happened more precisely, along with anything else I may have missed.

[sharpasafawkes]

[Going over the entire fight with a bit of a sigh]

[maleborgia]

*listens*

I see. You need to go back to the cabin. There is no need to remain there at all times, but make an appearance.

[sharpasafawkes]

Oh please, like that'll do anything. Malik will just assume he's right, and Desmond will think I'm crawling back.

[maleborgia]

Good. The point is simply to make amends, not to win. That comes later. Let them think what they want.

[sharpasafawkes]

Cesare...

[There's a lot of frustrate in that tone]

[maleborgia]

You know how to deal with environments that force you to hold your tongue. I am not so certain that they do. If they are so anxious about whatever happened then it is your job as their teammate and friend to avoid aggravating that. I will still help you to investigate, of course, but we will do it with a degree of tact.

[sharpasafawkes]

I'm just not fond that they get away with it scott free.

[maleborgia]

Concessions have to be made. There are more important issues at hand. Once you figure out what is going on before they do, you have every right to gloat, of course.

[sharpasafawkes]

Allright, I can live with that.

[maleborgia]

Be patient. That is all I am asking.

[sharpasafawkes]

Dear god don't sound like you've got us all wrapped around your little finger.

[maleborgia]

Do I sound like that? My apologies.

[sharpasafawkes]

Oh you're not sorry at all, just pleased that you get to flex your talents.

[maleborgia]

Ah, you caught me.

[sharpasafawkes]

You had the worst grin on your face when you said it, at least I've got an idea of what role you'd play.

[maleborgia]

Do you?
