Let's just strike the yet. Why not be a little more optimistic. We survived an Earth-wide earthquake. Which is ... something else. You alright otherwise?
[And her initial assumption that he was lying was right. He hasn't been too busy to talk to her, clearly, if he has enough time to get wasted with William. Maybe he's just decided she's not worth the trouble.]
It's a little late for that. We're out of high school and he's not taking me to tacos if he's going to ghost you like an asshole.
( William's ghosted before. But, for business. Actual business. Ian could've been busy. Could've locked himself in a lab and only emerged to drink and eat tacos. But, William's not going to be that person. To be roped into something social because Ian is on the outs deliberately with Kyna. )
I'm confronting him. But, like an asshole would. Because he's being an asshole. I like the guy, yeah, but not if he's going to treat you like this. Unless you two had a fight before or after the earthquake?
Which I should've asked before I went on my own personal crusade. I'm leaning toward no fight.
dude you can't do shit about this and i don't need you "confronting" him like we're five years old and you're the teacher trying to get us to play together

[Just in a bad mood, which is nominally better.]

no subject
i guess so
are you?
no subject
no subject
[There's a slight pause between messages.]
can i ask you something kind of weird?
no subject
Which is my way of saying, yes. Ask me anything weird.
no subject
i'm going to circle back to that
but
has ian been acting weird to you?
no subject
We met up last night for drinks and tacos. Hence the headache.
no subject
of course
whatever
it doesn't fucking matter anyway
no subject
Wait, Kyna.
It matters if it matters to you. I sound like a public school teacher, but I still mean it. We can talk.
no subject
there's nothing you can do about it anyway
no subject
But, for real. What did Ian do?
( Did Ian ask him for drinks and tacos because he's on the outs with Kyna? Because he put himself on the outs? )
no subject
apparently
[And her initial assumption that he was lying was right. He hasn't been too busy to talk to her, clearly, if he has enough time to get wasted with William. Maybe he's just decided she's not worth the trouble.]
no subject
I don't know what he's been, honestly. Is he avoiding you?
no subject
no subject
no subject
he doesn't want to talk to me
that's it
[She doesn't want William... what? Trying to force Ian to care? How could he even help in this situation?]
no subject
( William's ghosted before. But, for business. Actual business. Ian could've been busy. Could've locked himself in a lab and only emerged to drink and eat tacos. But, William's not going to be that person. To be roped into something social because Ian is on the outs deliberately with Kyna. )
no subject
are you going to try to make him hang out with me or something?
maybe he just likes hanging out with you better
[Because, in Kyna's head, that's generally how this goes. She doesn't think of herself as an easy person to be friends with.]
no subject
Which I should've asked before I went on my own personal crusade. I'm leaning toward no fight.
no subject
you can't do shit about this
and i don't need you "confronting" him like we're five years old and you're the teacher trying to get us to play together
no subject
no subject

no subject
I may have overstepped.
