Something about you having a girlfriend. Ring any bells?

[fluorite]

[ It takes Fai a few minutes to respond, simply because he's busy with his head in his hands. ]

Why did he tell you that?

[weaseled]

[Oh dear... Guilty as charged, eh? He's still willing to give Fai the benefit of the doubt, but his faith is waning some.]

Because he thought a taken man shouldn't be running around cheating, probably.

[fluorite]

He has me mistaken for my brother.

[ It sounds like just the shittiest excuse, but it's true. ]

[weaseled]

[...

Of all the explanations he expected, this was not one of them.]

How the hell did he manage to do that?

[fluorite]

[ He breathes a small sigh of relief, glad that it seems like Yael at least believes him. ]

Identical twins.

I only like men, I promise.

[weaseled]

[That's all well and good, but Yael isn't going to ignore the obvious elephant in the room.]

So you go by your brother's name online? Interesting choice.

[fluorite]

[ It takes Fai a few minutes to respond. He wasn't expecting Yael to call him out on that so quickly, and yet here he is.

The fact that Yael is so quick to call him out on these things is why they're here at all, isn't it? ]

I do. It's one of the easiest ways that I can preserve his memory.

[weaseled]

[...Oh boy. Yael won't risk alarming Fai by keeping him waiting on an answer, but his answer is one he struggles to wrap his head around.]

I'm not going to tell you how that sounds. You already know.

Want to meet up and talk about it?

[fluorite]

Sure.

Pick the Area and I'll be there.

Beloved Tragedy's Phantom. Meet you there.

[THANKS FOR VOLUNTEERING TO SET UP THE THREAD, AMB!!!]
