At this point, Atton seriously considered the idea Cade was trying to torture him. (Or maybe he just needed to get out of his own head about crossing the streams.)

as in my guitarist and the person im dating, he texted. At least that would hopefully kill any further questions.

[shutupandkillsomething]

Huh. sure.

Very helpful, Cade, thank you.

[suitably_heroic]

great.

Could you not come up with a single thing to make that less awkward, Rand?

good talk.

[shutupandkillsomething]

not awkward at all

Again with the helpfulness!

[suitably_heroic]

Goddammit, Cade.

Atton closed his eyes for another moment, searching for a way out of this. Or maybe a way forward.

look, a lot has changed in my life over the past few years. mostly good things. i'm sorry i didn't keep you up to date, but honestly, i didn't know you even cared until we talked about it briefly during that bar night last year, he texted. i don't have a lot of friends left from those early days, though, so if you WANT to, you're welcome, i'll catch you up on everything, and we'll see. but if you don't, whatever, it's fine. i'm just trying to be less of a dick than i used to be.

[shutupandkillsomething]

don't be too much less of a dick. i don't know what to do with boring people who are always nice.

That, for Cade, was a bit like forgiveness. Ill let you know if i need a place to hide if this thing with a Hutt doesnt go well.

He was trying to blackmail a Hutt. It would go less well.

[suitably_heroic]

yeah im sure theres no way that can go wrong.

The weight shifted off his shoulders, if a little.

keep me updated.
