Badgering me about my capacity for direction-following or lack thereof will eventually become unproductive, you realize.

Dispose of the chocolates and be done with it. If you're asked if your girlfriend gave you any, now you can answer truthfully. No one ever asks if you ate them, only if you received them. So it's fine.

[hierophany]

You've yet to answer the question.

Which would lead me to assume that the answer is 'yes'.

[freshprints]

So if I'd met you at the park, you'd have said all this to my face?

[hierophany]

No, probably not at the park.

As you said, you're the only one able to view this conversation.

[freshprints]

But you would have thought it.

[hierophany]

Yeah. I would have.

The top halves of them are passable, where they didn't touch the bottom of the mold. I'd have suggested we split one and then given you the shitty half.

[freshprints]

[.....................]

Yes, I'm angry.

[hierophany]

Because I said they were bad? Or because I suggested you not try again.

If the latter, I apologise. Regular practice is the only way to improve. I shouldn’t discourage anyone from it.

[freshprints]

It's not important. I impulsively attributed a motivation to your behavior that you probably didn't have.

Were you intentionally trying to hurt my feelings, or did you assume I don't have any?

This isn't a trick question. I'm curious.

[hierophany]

The former. Mostly motivated by curiosity.

The performance is there for a reason. Most people don’t like the person I am when it ends. I wanted to know if a complete lack of pretence really was what you wanted.

[freshprints]

Hm. I suppose that's better than the alternative.

Besides, I think you're overplaying your hand. Intentionally trying to hurt my feelings was a performance, too.

[hierophany]

A little. Perhaps I wanted to deter you from pointing out the performance. Which has clearly backfired.

[freshprints]

I doubt it. I know what you look like when something has backfired on you.

It's not this.

[hierophany]

I'll spare us both the part where I pretend not to know what you're talking about.

Things can backfire to different degrees.

[freshprints]

Like your attempt at convincing me that your previous actions had backfired?

I'd say that attempt backfired.
