FIRESTARTER: wow
FIRESTARTER: completely fucking astounded
FIRESTARTER: so you had a come to jesus moment and just told him

[devilmightcare]

dante: who doesn't love a redemption story

[mind_blown]

FIRESTARTER: i'd believe that
FIRESTARTER: but
FIRESTARTER: i get the feeling this might be just a bait and switch for later
FIRESTARTER: tell him this now, avoid a harder conversation
FIRESTARTER: etc.
FIRESTARTER: perfectly understandable.

[devilmightcare]

dante: damn you figured me out
are you going to ask about my daddy issues next

[mind_blown]

FIRESTARTER: no
FIRESTARTER: that didn't really come up
FIRESTARTER: & i don't care

[devilmightcare]

dante: good because that was a joke
anyway
just texting me to brag or what?
that you figured it out before I told him?

[mind_blown]

FIRESTARTER: no
FIRESTARTER: b/c if it had been me and my brother in that place
FIRESTARTER: i wouldn't have said anything either
FIRESTARTER: so it's more trying to figure out why
FIRESTARTER: especially since nero still thinks you're being cagey.

[devilmightcare]

dante: what
you want to know why I told him?

[mind_blown]

FIRESTARTER: yeah.
FIRESTARTER: could be helpful in figuring out what you're not saying.
FIRESTARTER: or why.

[devilmightcare]

dante: well
he'd figure it out eventually. getting his memories back and all
and that's a way more awkward conversation down the road than it is now
so why not?


also why's it any of your business??

[mind_blown]

FIRESTARTER: interesting

[there's a long pause.]

FIRESTARTER: that last question should be obvious. it's not like i osmosed the name "nero" out of no where.

[devilmightcare]

dante: who knows
could have been a real lucky guess

[mind_blown]

FIRESTARTER: a guess like that, too bad there isn't a lottery right now

[devilmightcare]

dante: too bad, huh?
anyway
if you're looking to dig up anything else, you're not getting it out of me

[mind_blown]

FIRESTARTER: so there is something else.

[devilmightcare]

dante: yeah? I didn't spill his whole life story

[mind_blown]

FIRESTARTER: isn't that a whole awkward conversation down the line

[devilmightcare]

dante: me being his uncle would have been the most awkward one to hide

[mind_blown]

FIRESTARTER: tbh i don't really care what you're hiding
FIRESTARTER: seems like everyone and their mother's got a sob story
FIRESTARTER: a traumatic past
FIRESTARTER: hell, even you probably got one.
FIRESTARTER: i'm just trying to get a sense here
FIRESTARTER: that's all.
FIRESTARTER: you keep on keeping on, ig.

[devilmightcare]

dante: yeah yeah
I get you're probably worried and all that

[mind_blown]

FIRESTARTER: something like that, yeah.
FIRESTARTER: and i don't really have much sympathy for people who abandon kids.
FIRESTARTER: and then lie to them.
FIRESTARTER: not sure what changed your mind "coworker"
FIRESTARTER: but i don't trust it.

[devilmightcare]

dante: hey
I know I'm not the most trustworthy guy, believe me
but I have noo idea what you mean by abandoning him
and I HAVE all my memories

[mind_blown]

FIRESTARTER: maybe you should ask him
FIRESTARTER: if you're being serious.

[devilmightcare]

[ it seems like he starts... and stops typing... and starts again. ]

dante: maybe I will

[mind_blown]

FIRESTARTER: you've got a lot of time to catch up on anyway
FIRESTARTER: and for some fucking reason, he desperately wants his family
FIRESTARTER: try not to be a disappointment
