[Is she ready to play twenty questions?]

Whoa. What kind of mess? Do you guys need help?
How's Rhys?
I'd offer to let her know, but I think I might have upset her.

[phaseshifter]

No, no help needed! I told you, everything's okay now └[ ◕ 〜 ◕ ]┘ Rhys is okay. A little worse for wear, but nothing he can't handle.

And oh dear (꒪ȏ꒪;) How did you manage that??

[swatsflies]

Okay, good. I'm glad. I'm glad you guys didn't get eaten or anything.

I didn't understand something and eventually she wanted to change topics.
It might upset you if I repeat it.

[Since it was about Angel's relationship with her dad...]

[phaseshifter]

Why would it upset me?? I don't offend easily! ੧| ‾́ 〜 ‾́ |੭
Unless people are keeping information from me, that's one of the things that really chaps my ass butt rear? darnit   nerves.

[swatsflies]

[Well, since she asked...]

It's about you and your dad.
She told me she doesn't trust him and why she doesn't.
I got mad, but not at her. At your situation.
You have people that care for you, so why should you be around that loser.
She told me it's not that easy.

[phaseshifter]

[ ...Oh. ]

Well. Neither of you are wrong.
It's all very complicated and she doesn't have the full story anyway
But since you're asking! Generally I *don't* want to be around him very much, but sometimes it's unavoidable. And I wouldn't feel right cutting him out of my life completely, either.

Alright, just imagine someone you love a lot (a friend, family, it doesn't matter which) suddenly starts hanging around with a bad crowd and doing things you don't approve of. It starts off small, but eventually they become a really nasty person. Maybe you even start hating them?
That doesn't cancel out the love you had for them, though. It's still there. You love the person they were (or you thought they were) despite what they've become.
I mean look at Jack for yourself
You know enough to call him a loser, but he *did* sacrifice himself to save me from the monster before you showed up that day!
When someone loves you that much it's hard not to love them back

[swatsflies]

[That puts it in perspective. It definitely helps enough that he can see it as kind of similar to Matron.]

I think I get it now.
Thanks. That couldn't have been easy.
He sometimes shows he's your dad again and it's enough to make you want to try, right?

[phaseshifter]

Yeah! Pretty much. So I know he's a tool but I also know that isn't *all* he is. And because I know him, I understand why he does the douchey things he does.
Sometimes (>___>;;;;;)
Emotions are hecka complicated!
