Codependency does make things a bit easier, when one of the people involved is slightly easier to talk to... Then again, if Natsuno is "close" to Rita, maybe he has even less sense than I already imagined... 🤠But that's good. I'm glad. It means they've got something to lose if things go wrong, and it gives all three of them a reason to want to survive through this.
If it helps, I didn't need you to tell me that Clarke and Natsuno are close. They're always hanging around each other. And, concerning that transparency you're trying to maintain: you are welcome to tell them as much as you feel is right. They'll take the news better from you, and if you can throw me under the bus in the meantime, it'll help repair their trust in you. Believe me, after everything that's happened, I am hard pressed to tell anyone to lie to their "charges," for lack of a better word. Darcy's never going to properly forgive me for... well, any of it. It's better if we keep you out of a similar dog house.
Now now, let's not drag Natsuno's taste in strongly opinionated people into all this. Here I was trying to be tactful about it, and then you just go and say it outright 😤! [Sarcasm, yet again, just seeping through the text.....honestly, Jade isn't entirely sure when it truly Started becoming more of a thing between those two, or even how exactly that bonding ended up coming about like this--but he'll still joke, at least. Even if he is genuinely glad for them. Because it's true, that other bit...] Anyway, I agree it's good that they have each other. Complete isolation is difficult to achieve on this ship anyhow, but even if it were easier--it's for the better that none of them are trying to go things alone, here.
Even if the entire passenger body can't be necessarily united right now, I suppose there's at least the closer-knit smaller groups. If only we could manage not to collide into each other quite so poorly as we have been...
[But after that there's another bout of delay--typing and erasing and typing some more. In the end Skulduggery does end up pinning down the crux of Jade's hesitations in turn, and so it's something of a. Relief? Maybe? That frankness there. Hm.]
Well, throwing a person under a carriage certainly becomes easier when they're assuring you they truly wouldn't mind it. ...I do trust that you still have the best interests of all us passengers in mind, you know. Even if they do not believe the same. So, I'd prefer not to throw you down there with glee, at the very least...
But I appreciate that you'd understand. Objectively, you're not wrong that it'd help my case of late. ...I shall think about how to turn the phrasing, I suppose. But in that case I'll tell them in your stead in some way, yes.
Interpersonal conflict is the source of most of our troubles. Unfortunately, I don't see an easy way to end it.
I'm glad you still know where I stand, even given everything we've been through. As frustrating as I find most of the other passengers at this point, they're still victims, and they still deserve my help. Even if they take it for granted when it's offered and refuse to give my relationship the benefit of the doubt...
Anyway. I don't care what they think of me at this point. We just need to make sure everyone is on as similar a page as possible. Even if that means they blame me for it happening.
