[ ok listen... for once he was trying to be helpful. ]
I hurt his daughter's feelings. [ he's just really bad at the whole supportive patience for people he has no stake in and openly dislike him. ]
She's hung up on it to the point she likes to publicly talk about wanting to kill me. While I know she's being dramatic, and I'm trying to sort things with her slowly, he's the one who made her this way. I don't see how else he'd be viewing me except as something to pick off, you know?
[ pouts a little in response even as gives a kiss to the tip of Sunday's nose. ]
You know what I mean. He's definitely going to try and pry—your connections will definitely be something he tries to fish around for with casual conversation.
[ His nose scrunches slightly as his feathers twitch. ]
Because she despises you, you believe her father that she has a terrible relationship will target you. I am not sure how your logic arrived there, but I am also certain we can deal with it if it comes to that.
You have Caelus, Jing Yuan, myself, and others in this hotel who would assist if matters became that dire.
The relationship is clearly a terrible and toxic one from her behavior alone, but she loves and adores him. And I'm pretty sure, for all his failings, he's very protective of her.
Normally I wouldn't care either way. People wanting me dead isn't anything new, and I'm perfectly capable of handling it.
I just... [ his shoulders slump a little as his voice falls to barely above a whisper. ] ...don't... want any of you being judged or treated badly because of being associated with me.
[ ...and that feeling is something he's not used to at all. ]
[ His hand cups one of Aventurine's cheeks as he leans over to kiss him fully. ]
I am no better even if I once thought I was. I did something terrible, something I find regrettable now, and I hated you before for trying to stop me. Being associated with you will not earn me any worse judgment than what I myself did of my own volition.
I am sure I will give him plenty of reasons to despise me without you in the equation.
