So... Listen, I need to apologize to people for what happened last month. The whole 'hey there's young idiot Tommy being an asshole' thing. And the neglecting my work while that was happening.

I dealt with a lot of BS magic shit when I was younger that I had a lot less explanations for and so I didn't trust shit well.

Teach me to be careful what I say.

Anyway, if you need me to do something to, like, make it better, let me know. I don't remember all of the shit that happened or who I saw.

Goodness, no wonder you reacted as strongly as you did.

[ That would definitely do it, or at least not help with trusting people when you suddenly found yourself where you shouldn’t be. ]

I’m afraid I was terribly poor help as well, given I was just there when you switched. It made me rather suspicious; I suppose.

[doubled_speed]

Damn fucking right.

[He wanted to sigh, because yeah, things had been bad back then.]

Yeah, you were SUPER sus I think. Sorry about that.

[bufubulous]

No need to apologize, Tommy. You couldn’t have known it would occur, and I was very um… Sus, as you put it. Even I realized that after I tried to explain the situation.

[ No, it doesn't quite sound natural when Yusuke says 'sus.' He should refrain from doing so again. ]

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, I know. But I still feel bad for how I treated you.

Also, never say sus. You can't do it.

[bufubulous]

Well, while it was rather offensive to be accused of being an evil sorcerer... Consider it water under the bridge, as they say? I can hardly hold it against you when it was your younger self that reacted in an understandable way.

[ An awkward chuckle escaped at that request. ]

I confess I regretted attempting to use the term after it left my mouth. It felt very… incorrect. I shall avoid introducing it into my regular vocabulary.

[doubled_speed]

[IT wasn't an understandable reaction for most people. Just for him. Just for the sort of mess he made of his own life.]

Thank fuck that you're not going to say it. You don't have the vibe. Be you, art boy.

[bufubulous]

Yes, I believe that would probably be for the best. Some things suit us better than others, and that seems to not be among mine.

[doubled_speed]

No, you seem all meant for fancy language.

[bufubulous]

I never really thought of my manner of speaking as fancy… But I suppose it does differ from others a bit.

[doubled_speed]

Dude, you're... FUck, what's that word? Erudie or something?

[bufubulous]

I’m presuming you mean ‘Erudite,’ at least based on our conversation… I don’t know that I am in particular, but I have focused a lot on my studies as well as my art. So it’s kind of you to say, thank you.

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, that, whatever. You make yourself sound that way either way.

[bufubulous]

I shall have to take your word for it, then.

[doubled_speed]

Do so. And remember never to use the words that aren't suited to you. People would lose the artist vibe.

[bufubulous]

I will resist temptation, though trying something new does seem important at times… Perhaps not like that. Though I dare say my way of speaking isn’t what makes me an artist, I suppose people might see that as important.

[doubled_speed]

Nah, it's not your way of speaking at all. But your attitude definitely screams it.

[bufubulous]

My attitude is loudly artistic, yes I think that sounds correct as far as descriptions go… I can’t see myself presenting the attitude of something else, at least.

[doubled_speed]

Loudly artistic. Damn, that's a way to put it.

[bufubulous]

Thank you, I thought it sounded accurate based on your observation.

[doubled_speed]

I mean, you're not wrong. Man, hilarious there.

[bufubulous]

I hadn’t thought it amusing, but I shall take your word for it?

[doubled_speed]

Good. That's smart. I'm great at telling what is hilarious.

[bufubulous]

Are you? That seems like something of a special skill, I think.

[doubled_speed]

Damn fucking right.

[bufubulous]

I shall add that to the list with ‘impressively fast.’

[ He added with a smile. ]
