[Because he can't write for shit, he just goes to find Cyril, looking worried.]

Merrick is missing?

[That wasn't right. He was the one who was supposed to go missing.]

What happened?

[samahl]

[Cyril shakes his head and finds himself realizing how poorly he had worded things for someone like Gavin.]

Oh, no. No, Gavin. You don't have to worry. He's not really 'missing' so much as avoiding people who care for him.

[slipshot]

[He relaxes a little, though he still looks worried.]

Oh. Well that's normal, at least. Sorry, my reading still isn't great.

I haven't - ah - I haven't seen him in a while. [That was putting it mildly. They hadn't spoken since they'd fought.] Is everything alright?

[samahl]

[Cyril presses his lips together in thought.]

He's stubborn and at times acts foolishly because of it. Otherwise, things are all right.

[slipshot]

[He raises a hand to his hair scrubbing at it and looking sheepish. Well now he feels like a complete idiot. Not that he didn't usually, but he especially did now.]

Well, he's - certainly not the only one, I can't really blame him for that. Stubbornness and Foolishness seem to be found in spades, here. I just - worried. If he'd left here without you...

[samahl]

He wouldn't have left permanently. He's too stubborn for that as well.

[slipshot]

[He frowns slightly.]

No, maybe not. I just - yeah. I've been meaning to talk to him anyway, so I should probably... do that. What's he avoiding with you?

[samahl]

I'm not sure. He probably has reasons he thinks are good ones but in reality they're stupid.

What do you need to talk to him about?

[slipshot]

Ah-- [His ears turn slightly red, and he frowns, looking away.]

I upset Pel, earlier. Badly. Which - upset him.

But I think I... I think I'm finally working out what to do about it.

[samahl]

[His eyes narrow a bit.]

You really need to stop being so good at that. [The way he says it, it's not really like he's accusing Gavin of anything. It's more an observation of how much he upsets Pel, and an acknowledgement of it. He assumes Gavin wishes things were different between them too.]

[slipshot]

[Gavin sighs and ducks his head.]

Yeah. Yeah, I... I know. There's a lot of things I need to stop being so good at. [wryly.]

[samahl]

And some things you could stand to be a bit better at. [said good naturedly. He still has a positive personal opinion of Gavin, despite it all.]
