"You are unusually easy to talk to. I'm not sure if you believe it but I tend to be rather stingy with information, especially personal information. I just never felt that urge with you. Partially that's the Choco connection, but mostly it's easy to be comfortable around you. Comfortable enough to just say things." Not the easiest thing for Macaque to manage.
This time, there is purring. He must be feeling better. "Even so, if it's all the same to you I'll try to keep messes to a minimum."
"It is a surprising gift I have," he said. "Though usually its when people kind of break down on me, so the calm conversation is a nice change of pace." He gets a lot of life stories one way or another. Even if its just bits and pieces. "I'm glad you have someone easy to talk to though. It helps a lot."
He hummed. "If you want, but anytime you need to be a mess, I can bring a mop."
"It is surprising. Damn near blows my mind every time." His people are not... the best at talking. "Thanks for being the someone easy to talk to. And sorry I can't really do the same in return. I would if I could."
He laughs, softly. "I've seen your sister with mops, I'm not sure those aren't fighting words."
"You fucked me through a wall and got me out of the dark place thinking, that is as close as easy to talk to as I get like that," he said. He's just saying. This is not a one way street AT ALL.
"Sometimes people have to be menaced into being the messes they're trying to hide." He is Aware.
That makes him laugh, though it's quiet. Nothing can break through his bad mood entirely, but Wash is going as well as anyone could hope to.
"Everyone's gotta have their little talents." Fucking people through walls happens to be Macaque's, shadow magic be damned. At least that worked, he'd feel pretty dumb if it hadn't. He feels sort of dumb even though it did.
"You don't have to menace me, though. Some do, assuredly. But you? Only need to ask." A brief beat. "Although I won't deny you some menacing now and then if that's how you prefer to play it."
