Let's begin with the the general fucking presumptuousness of swanning in as a friend of my brother, wasting my time, and then acting like a prick when I haven't performed to your satisfaction.
Goodness, no. I was excited to discover you existed and thought I'd say hello. He did invite me to contact you in his presence, but I declined. Why—do you think he'd enjoy listening in?
Oh, no, my mother kept me locked in a cellar and my father had a moat installed to prohibit any overtures of friendship.
[In almost the same breath--]
Of course people have been fucking friendly to me before. But the way in which this has gone feels suspect. Like a sad widow writing letters to anyone who will take them.
Not to mention you thought I was my brother first.

I'm beginning to think you don't know him at all.

Hmm. Bottle from the Anderfels, windmill on the label. Have you ever tried it?
no subject
Date: 2019-04-17 04:42 am (UTC)Why. Are you offering?

Date: 2019-04-17 08:24 pm (UTC)Your courtesy is noted.

Date: 2019-04-17 08:49 pm (UTC)Very well—another time and another bottle, let's say. What would you prefer? Something... Antivan, maybe?
no subject
Date: 2019-04-17 10:07 pm (UTC)Preferably left on a doorstep. Unaccompanied.

Date: 2019-04-18 12:06 am (UTC)All jests aside—if you do change your mind, my name's Lea, and I'd be delighted to make your acquaintance. With or without a bottle.

Date: 2019-04-18 04:54 pm (UTC)[Also--]
Why.

Has no one ever been friendly to you before?
