Bedlam just sighed again.
"I probably deserved that, but I'm being serious. Why are you so mad at me? It can't just be because of the fight, can it?"

She just turned and walked away, walking with a noticeable tremble
-
Bedlam followed, walking beside her. "Hey, are you alright? You seem to be shaking..."
-
"Back off." She said tersely

"I'm not backing off when you're obviously mad at me. I want to resolve this. Can you at least tell me why you're mad at me? What did I do?"
-
She just stayed silent, not wanting to say a thing
-
"Okay....Silence." He just kept following.
-
"You made me relive hell." She said quietly
-
"I'm really sorry, Alpha, I really am. I don't think I could ever make up for doing what I did, but maybe I can do something for you? How about free food? No one can say no to free food." Bedlam smiled a little.
-
"That's a no for me." She said angrily "Because unlike you, I have to deal with actual shit."
-
"Oh okay, hurtful. Umm...Want to maybe talk this out while we go on a nice walk somewhere or something?"
-
"Look, I'm going to be honest with you. It's the only way you'll -blam!- off. I'm breaking it off with Pan. I'm hoping she doesn't kill me. I don't need the stress of you being around."
-
"I thought she already broke up with you and that's why she asked me ou-Okay, yeah. I'll just go..." Bedlam quickly shut up and turned to leave.
-
"....don't." She said, quietly "I....could...use a friend...for a change" He could tell it pained her to say that
-
"Everyone needs a friend." He turned back to her with a small grin. "I'd be more than happy to be yours...if you don't kill me."
-
"Just try not to be annoying while I head back." She said, still walking towards her ship
-
"Alright, I'll try." He replied, beginning to follow again.
-
She just kept walking, her face grim despite the change in character for the moment.

Edited by Stitch: 12/21/2017 7:25:57 PMBedlam wasn't exactly fond of her grim expression, so he pulled a violin out of thin air and began to play a little happy tune as he walked behind her. It would probably just annoy her, but he felt like he needed to at least try something.
-
"You're flat." She said as they stopped at her ship "So what is it that you wanted me to do?"
-
"I'm not flat..." He mumbled to himself. "I just wanted you to be happy. That's why I'm not going to stop until I see a genuine smile on that face."
-
She rolled her eyes "This is a piss-poor attempt to get in my pants, you know that, right?"
-
Bedlam sighed. "I'm not trying to do anything like that. I have a girlfriend, okay?"
-
"Mhm." She said "And you're offering to take me to dinner. Speaks wonders about your relationship"
-
"Free food is not a romantic dinner, Alpha. It's a new relationship, but I'd never cheat on her or do anything of the sort. I'm very happy with her, thank you." His violin vanished. "How about a friendly walk and then a friendly meal? A guy and a girl don't have to be dating to enjoy spending time with each other, y'know."
