im sorry for throwing a spanner into the works but i am only trying to look out for someone dear to me
[ they talk about a lot of things, have always talked about a lot of things. the fact that Lycaon has been the subject of conversation lately is neither here nor there. ]
everyone has skeletons in their closets lycaon i dont judge people for their pasts and what they have done in order to survive what matters is what you do in the here and now what matters is leaving places a little bit better than you found them that goes for people too
[ Molly can't judge, won't judge. he was truthful about being a conman, he's done his fair share of unsavoury things in order to survive and live in a world not made for him. ]
firstly it wasn't even the text itself secondly you never said i had to keep it a secret
[ his tail flicks about somewhat irritably. ]
im glad for that actually considering how difficult it is for me to learn that hard lesson you want to teach itd be impossible for me to teach it to hugo on my own
[ he's leaving himself vulnerable again. pulling apart his armor and leaving his soft spots exposed. ]
im not so stupid as to claim i may want him more than you there is attraction there definitely but i do care about him more than ive ever cared about anyone really
so im overjoyed hes got you lycaon and that you have him
[The barrage of texts makes his eyes flitter. Oh Molly, you truly are a dog person if you let your guard down this much.]
You truly are kinder than you let on, Molly. Am I to take that the 'lying through your teeth' part is also true now?
You will learn that lesson. You will see that things people do are, at their core, ways of saying "I want you to live to the next day" and "Thank you for being alive".
[But...since Molly has been so vulnerable in this chat. He supposes he can let a little slip for him. He does owe him for quite a few things. He has already used this metaphor, but it's very apt.]
I am quite fond of the moon, stereotypical as it may be. But there is a large difference between the moon and the lunar surface. Hugo is the moon.
[Cryptic, poetic, but Molly will be able to put the pieces together.]
[ when it comes to the people he cares about, Mollymauk Tealeaf bares his throat to oncoming teeth. it doesn't help that Hugo's clear affection for the man has colored his impression of Lycaon, making it all the more easier for him to lower his guard.
if Hugo trusts and cares for him, why shouldn't Molly?
had the two not made up things would have been different. he would be more closed off, on guard, but whatever animosity there was between the pair was not born of bad blood. something he finds himself glad for with each passing day. ]
dont go screaming it off the rooftops yeah? i was hoping youd take that at face value but it read like you saw through it so no this is painful honest truths
[ he'll learn that lesson eventually. accepting the lesson will be another thing entirely. ]
thats incredibly cheesy i hope you know but its sweet so sweet i can feel my teeth gaining cavities as we speak
I don't see why I should. You have sang like a canary, after all. [He is teasing. Mostly.] Your secret is safe, unless I deem it necessary to reveal. I'm sure you understand.
[His tail swishes from behind that screen, though.]
because its not the kind of song id prefer to sing for you [ maybe if he flirts hard enough!!! they can all forget his kind and squish insides!! ] of course it is only fair given everything
[ an eye for an eye and all that. ]
just because its cheesy dont mean it doesnt work as intended most people would go for something like the diamond hidden within the depths of coal the moon metaphor is fitting for you
Hugo was right, he did poke at Mollymauk's boarders and breached them with expert ease. rest in peace Mollymauk Tealeaf, you will never be free of the woldman's maw. ]
