[ She's silent, at first, considering. The apology... she's glad to hear it. Even if she realizes that people were affected by the fog and not treating each other like this of their own volition, there's still the fact that it happened, like lea said. an apology meant that, now that he was back to normal... he didn't really think of her like that, deep down.
right? ]
Thank you. For... apologizing. [ And she sounds like she means it. ]
You're right. It was the fog. Now that it's gone... You don't feel like that anymore, right?
No, I don't. All that stuff I said... honestly, I don't know why I said it. I remember a part of me just... wanting to get under people's skin, and not caring how I did it. I know what I said was wrong, and half of it wasn't even true, but I just... I dunno. Kept doing it.
[It was as if he couldn't care about how he spoke, or what emotions his words sprung. It was almost like he couldn't feel anything without verbally harassing someone.]
Lea, I... I don't blame you. I understand, and I feel like I know you wouldn't say that stuff normally. I'm not mad. I guess I'm still, just... a little sad, about it.
[ Admitting her "feelings," or whatever passes for feelings for someone who doesn't believe she has a heart, anyway, has never been easy for Xion. She wears her moods on her sleeves, but- actually talking about it? That was something else. ]
But... if you say you wouldn't have said that stuff otherwise, I believe you. Um... and, thank you. For telling me.
[ They both love dogs! It's one of the reasons she'd wanted to do that task with him in the first place, after all. And although that had ended badly... She thinks they can really help, now. ]
Yeah, they were all okay. [ She says, gently. ]
I think people got most of them away from where they were going to do any real damage or anything. But you know, they really do love plants...
Apology plants. [ She repeats, with a relieved laugh. It's just good to hear him agree, and feel his relief- it makes her feel even more like it's really him again. ]
I think they'd love that. The best apology plants we can find! Do you think they like flowers?
[He chuckles in response. Sure it might not be the most ethical thing, but Xion's right. It's for a good cause. Worst case, he'll just say Havoc ate them or something; that dog's known for doing crazy things anyway.]
I'm not sure. Why don't we go check out the flowers and see what looks good?

[There's a pregnant pause, before Lea lets out a sigh.]
Xion, I'm really sorry. I was a total jerk to you, and... I know it was that weird fog, but that doesn't excuse what I did or how I acted.

[He lets out a heavy sigh. He feels relieved that she forgives him, but he still feels bad about it.]
Yeah. I'm just... real sorry. And, if there's anything I can do to make it up...
no subject
I'm just... glad to hear it, I guess. [ Although... now that she thinks about it- ]
Actually... there is something you can do.

[ is this was lea was expecting?? probably not. but xion's enjoying it, anyway. ]
We can bring them something to eat.
no subject
[Oh, he remembered those things... the things he tried to light on fire. Oh dear...]
Yeah... yeah, I think that's a good idea. [HE FEELS BAD. Especially since he likes dogs.]
Did they, ah... at least get out un-singed?
no subject
Yeah, they were all okay. [ She says, gently. ]
I think people got most of them away from where they were going to do any real damage or anything. But you know, they really do love plants...
no subject
Maybe... they wouldn't mind getting some plants to eat, huh? Like, apology plants.
no subject
I think they'd love that. The best apology plants we can find! Do you think they like flowers?

I can help you pick out the plants, if you want. We could go pick them?

I think some of our neighbors have some really nice flowers. We could take some of those?
[ Xion... you can't just rob people's gardens. ]
no subject
[He pauses for a beat, but then grins.] Well, maybe we won't take all our flowers from the neighbors... but I bet they won't mind if we take a couple.
[Lea no don't encourage bad behaviour.]
no subject
We won't take all of them. Just enough for the dogs. It's for a good cause. [ She nods, pleased. ]
Do you think they'll like roses? Oh, or maybe sunflowers...

[His end of the connection is much more upbeat now. He's glad that they were able to talk things through and mend what was broken between them.]
