D --> I apologize to anyone who had to deal with me while I was under the influence of the curse
D --> I was not myself
D --> Normally I am not so
D --> Outgoing

[Translation: "Normally I do not try to get into the metaphorical pants of everyone I interact with. Oh good lord, strike me down now please."]

D --> I do hope you can all forgive me for the foolishness which occurred

[Action at the Highblood Hive]

[Hey, Gamzee, Equius. Guess who didn't come down to make breakfast? Guess who hasn't even come out of his room? Guess who even locked Dural out so that there is now a very aggravated lusus sitting outside of it, her feathers puffed up?]

[Daddy is not feeling well, kids. He knows you can take care of yourselves.]

D --> Again
D --> I apologize
D --> While the curse did in fact change me into another creature
D --> It apparently did more as well
D --> Such as making me much more inclined to
D --> More basic urges

[In other words, Dualscar is quite lucky Equius stormed onto the scene when he did, or else Darkleer may have outright ravaged him, if you know what we mean.]

[aim_exorable]

[...Goddarnit.]

D --> I am afraid I was not among the audience at the time sir

[That could easily mean he was outside or some such thing at the time... Or even right there on the dais himself.]

[But he's not lying! Exactly.]

[Locked]

[devwocean]

[Really, Darkleer, you'd be better off telling him, so he doesn't think you're single]

A shame, then.
Wwe'll probably nevver knoww, but it doesn't really matter in the end.
You and I should talk again, sometime.

[Locked]

[aim_exorable]

[But that would admit him and Summoner were into one another! It was hard enough admitting it to Summoner himself. Dualscar? No.]

[Even if. What. What is happening here.]

D --> No

[All of his senses are telling him to abscond from this conversation right. now.. Nnnnngh...]

Some night wwhen its convvenient. Not at my hivve, though.
Are there any places you favvour?

D --> Not in particular sir

[Like hell he is going to tell him about the cafe haunts he and the Helmsman frequent. Those are for good pale memories not... whatever is happening here.]

D --> Is there something in particular you look for in a location?

[Locked]

[devwocean]

I suppose a bit of privvacy and ambiance.
I'll look for somewwhere suitable, then.

[Locked]

[aim_exorable]

[Why does ambiance matter. What has he gotten himself into. Oh god.]

D --> Of course sir
D --> Whenever you are ready I shall be available
