[Honestly, Marco barely paid attention to half the things people said in the whale, because he was too worried about the weight on his own shoulders - not to mention the consequences of being without his medication for longer than expected.

He fails to consider that the same may apply to everyone else, medical issues aside.]

Well I thought

I thought YOU might think that explained a thing or two.
And my regret over all the trouble I've caused because of it doesn't NEGATE said trouble.
Besides,
It's intel.
Enemy intel.

Right?

[oh no does THIS sound paranoid too]

....

No, Marco.

It isn't.

Obviously what we do in the present is affected by what we do in the past, in more ways than one. I'm certainly not an idiot on that regard- I've come to terms with things there at least.

Did you know I nearly bombed the entire planet once? It was stupid. All it would have taken is a slightly different decision, and I would have been just spiteful enough to do it after all.

...This isn't about that, obviously, but the point is what we did years ago isn't who we are now.

And obviously you were carrying that for longer than you deserved to be.

This isn't intel.

And anyone who considers this sort of thing 'intel' against you is frankly pathetic, using nothing but emotional blackmail over an old incident to do what they want.

...As for negation...no, obviously regret doesn't negate anything. Actions negate. And even then you can't actually negate and erase what's been done or even considered in the past.

The important thing is that your regret means you can learn from it. And probably have, for that matter.

[This is...

Is "humbling" the word he's looking for? It doesn't feel quite right. Either way, he's embarrassed... albeit it's not exactly the same type of embarrassment he felt before he started this conversation.]

Sorry.
I assumed...

Well, never mind that.

Thank you for understanding.
noasark: (wat)

Hmm.

I suppose I can't blame you for assuming, can I.

We haven't really kept in contact since....some time ago, have we?

...

I'd like to thank you for the same, or at least similar.

Or at least, I didn't think you heard my own tale in there only to hold it against. If you heard it, I suppose.

[He heard bits of it, but didn't quite retain the whole thing. Of course, now that he's calming down, it's beginning to hit him that he's vastly overestimated the impact of his dramatic confession on everyone else, but look, he's not close enough to Noa to come out and admit it.]

No, no.

It's like you said. The past is the past.
noasark: (Well that didn't work)

[personal profile] noasark 2019-11-10 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Right then.

...

I wish you well, Marco.

You too.

[WOW THAT WENT A LOT BETTER THAN HE WAS EXPECTING]
