A Note Or Two

[sometime in the night, two notes will be found under very specific doors]

Espio lad,
Come and talk with me.
-Thatch


My sweetest lady Grell,
I beg your forgiveness for my borish behavior and general bad attitude regarding your lovely person. Please allow me to have but a moment of your kind indulgence at your earliest convenience. I swear that I shall make it up to you in spades.
Forever Yours,
Thatch

Don't care, grab what you got and throw it to me. If I don't like it, I'll tell you.

[...wait. It's Thatch. He's gonna assume he means something alcoholic.]

Better make it water or a soft drink.

You know, apologising and suddenly trying to be nice looks kind of suspicious... I'll go with it, though. [Yeah, he's just gonna sort of sit down and watch Thatch expectantly, waiting for him to introduce a conversation, because right now he just feels awkward.]

Hm.

[Sips at the water.]

You're part of Marco's family, which makes you part of mine. Neither of us asked for that, but it's as they say - you don't really choose your family. Seems it holds true even when blood isn't involved. Your family chooses you and you just have to go along with it.

Still, it's hard to make the best of it when the others don't want to try. Should I to take this to mean you've decided to start trying, now?

Because no lie, I was getting pretty pissed off.
espio: (snerk)

So basically, you want to take Grell's place as my mother in law.

[Because seriously, she's the one with the actual position to be an annoying, overbearing, controlling "DO THIS ALL MY WAY" pest.]

You could say it's their traditional role to try and make a wedding "right" according to their own wants rather than the couple's.

Give us some credit. Family's too important to both of us for them to be left out! But please just remember it's our day - we'll always get chances to celebrate being family, but we'll only ever have one wedding. I swear you'll be included, but let us be at least a little selfish with it, okay?

It's already bad enough thinking Grell's gonna try and take control without you two fighting for it.
espio: (uncomfortable)

My help?

[...huh?]

Thatch... I never knew him. Not really. I know him mostly through stories. To me, he's a figure worthy of respect and someone to look up to, the man who made my best friend who he is, the one who set the foundation for the family I have now. But he's more of a legend to me than a person.

Is that really the kind of help you want? From a person who sees him in that kind of way?
espio: (chibi)

[personal profile] espio 2013-07-12 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess...

[He just looks confused.]

What kind of memorial do you mean? Like, a speech?
espio: (srs lizard)

When Grell first met me, she tried to kill me with a chainsaw.

I think I can handle some irritation as long as you promise never, ever to impersonate Charmy Bee.
espio: (ohh?)

[personal profile] espio 2013-07-12 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
You know I said that Chaotix are my first priority, no matter what?

He's one of them.

He's also the most infuriatingly irritating person that has ever existed.

[And somehow, he still misses him.]
espio: (sigh)

[personal profile] espio 2013-07-12 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Please no. I don't think I can take it.

[Though being here would make him alive, so there's that. He could always go send him to Zabala's office with all his messages, or just for no reason. He's so annoying Espio thinks he'd make a good weapon.]

...it would be good if they could come here, though. It means they can live just a little longer. But it kind of hurts living knowing that you should be dead, especially knowing that your friends died with you and you couldn't stop it.
espio: (uhh...)

[personal profile] espio 2013-07-12 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Quiet.

Because there's really not much of anything to be said.

I know.
espio: (ohh?)

Don't get soppy. It's a damn lunchbox, the whole family gets one unless they decide to moan about it.

Besides, I like making them. Gives me something to do at six am.
espio: (i hate you)

[Looks for something he can throw. Sadly, he's a bit lacking in the things to throw department, unless he takes a shoe off or throws the glass of water...]

Shut it!
espio: (help!)

[personal profile] espio 2013-07-12 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaaaack!

[As Marco could have told him, Espio is prone to flailing wildly and kicking out when picked up, especially when squished or hugged in any way. He doesn't like being picked up, okay?! He's not your damn pet! Or Marco's! Marco only gets away with it because Espio already learned to just give it up!]

Put me down!
