[Green eyes reflect under the blanket, but he puts his head back down on his paws as Bel eases in.]

Both. Bro, all this time, he said I been abusin' him. He threw the rings.

S'done. It don't get more done than that.

I see...

[He's quiet just a bit, curling up around Brocade like a warm, protective barrier from everything outside.]

But you know, Yingxing is-- I know I've missed a lot, but even when we were in high school he was the sort to go off the rails when hurt. When we fought, neither of us was kind... But we always apologized later. It's not the right time today, but I wouldn't give up forever in your position.

[ He doesn't shift from where he's enjoying the rare delight of being the little spoon. It ALMOST breaks through the SAD!!! almost.

Still, his ear turns- ]

You two fought? Always thought it was some.. I dunno. Some storybook thing.

Storybook?

[There's a soft snort, incredulous at the idea of a peaceful youth.]

Not at all. When we met, we were both lost in life. By the time we were at university and dating, we were... codependent, to be completely honest. And self-destructive, and emotionally unstable. Sometimes we were like a fairytale, but other times we'd fight til we were both exhausted and battered, body and soul. We drank a lot... He'd get into bar fights and I'd get into strangers' beds, and then I'd pick him up from jail in the morning. Still... there was always love, and we supported eachother, until I left. I don't even know what he had to go through to get his life in order. And yet... he wanted me back in his life. He may want you back in it too, when you've both processed this.

[ He listens quietly. It's easy enough to picture. ]

He went through hell an' came out on top.

[ He knows better than anyone. ]

... I'd give up alla this. The engagement, fuck, everything. Anything I've got, t'have my best friend.

Mm. I understand that...

[He's not sure he could stuff Yingxing back in the "necessary to ignore" compartment now, either. If Yingxing left him, Suanni might throw away everything to chase.

It must be horrible for Brocade, whose past with Yingxing is so much better.]

He thinks it's his fault, and he's terrified he'll hurt us all. He needs support that flies in the face of his rage, right now. But you deserve time to untangle how you feel about eachother, so I'll just support the both of you myself.

It aint his fault.

I suspect neither of you are completely at fault. There doesn't have to be one person to blame, you know.

[The tail is like FWAP FWAP FWAP under the blanket. The catcade takes a BIG BREATHE and lets it out in a huffy sigh.]

He was a dick. But... can't say he was in the wrong. I hurt Razzy.

And why did you do that?

[He asks quietly, without judgement. He's heard a bit from Lithium, but he wants Brocade's side of things.

He also wants to see if Brocade will let him get away with squishing his toe beans... They're cute. He can't resist. Squishsquish...]

[ In truly unfair things, he reacts to getting his paws massaged, by flopping on his side and stretching out all four paws. ]

I .. dunno. It were the cupcakes, but Yingxi- [ Does he get to call him that still? His ears flatten back and he continues. ] Yingxing says it part of some... pattern I been hurting him with.
