[ yeah, he figured kotetsu, fellow prankster and Dadliest Dad to Have Ever Dadded, would be okay about it, hence why he's confessing to him, but also
sucks in air through teeth ]
I talked to Sholmes, the day after the curse ended, and he...didn't look too great. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal to him, but now? I'm not so sure.
I think you're right. I didn't see him until that night, after I got back.
But I still think you should tell him. Tell both of them. Apologize. You didn't mean to harm them, but this is one case where I think you should go face it.
You underestimate them both. I know van Zieks is an extremely respectable guy. He'd listen to your reasoning first. As far as Sholmes... I think you'd be really surprised, if you talked to him about this.
Wouldn't you rather tell them instead of something happening and they find out instead?
I'd ask you to do this as a personal favor for me, but... Just don't be surprised if it accidentally comes out some day when you least expect. I mean, you can manipulate people's emotions, why would that be safe?

...you can't tell them. You're not gonna tell 'em, right? You can't.

on 2021-10-10 05:11 am (UTC)I get it, kid. But that kind of thing doesn't work out that way for everyone. I'm not mad at you, but. Just... don't do anything like that again.
If you really don't want me saying anything, I won't. But I think you should tell them. Or, at least, tell Sholmes.

A personal favor? You're that invested in this?
