This whole conversation has left a bad taste in your mouth.
It almost has you thinking of Holly as an obstacle between you and Fie and you don't want that.
You do care about her and she is your friend. At the same time, you don't want to hurt her, which you know starting a romantic relationship with her or giving her mixed signals will do. Which is why you decided not to do any of that before.
If this is a joke on Winston's part or him trying to throw you a bone or something, you're going to have to set him straight when you actually meet him, because Arceus above, has he stirred up shit and it's not helpful.
If he was actually serious... well, fuck. You'd better help Holly find a Psychic teacher ASAP.
A chill goes down your spine at the thought of Holly overhearing all this. Both the conversation and your thoughts.
That'd be awkward at best.
"... Let's try to find another option. First, trip to Barrier Islands and vetting Winston. Then, if we really lack other options, we'll rediscuss it. Because I really don't want to do it." You say at length, pausing to take a drink yourself.
"Agreed." Fie says.
You rub your brow.
"Now I'm getting a headache." You say, annoyed, then sigh. "I'll make it up to you, since it's technically my fault for being-"
"Nope, stop right there." Fie says. "Do not go blaming yourself for stepping in to help Holly with her demons like that." She admonishes. "You did the right thing. Even knowing you were setting up this... psychic link, or whatever, you still <span class="mu-i">absolutely</span> did the right thing." She says emphatically. "I know you're not going to try pushing for a threeway or some dumb shit like that."
"I'm not that kind of person." You agree.
"I know." Fie assures. "I know. And I know I sound mad, but it's not directed at you, or Holly. I'm mad at this situation, because it's fucked up. And possibly Winston for being an inconsiderate jackass."
You're silent after that as Fie finishes her paperwork and you sit down to enjoy your drinks, before you both go and fall into bed.
"Let's... just talk about it in the morning." Fie says tiredly. "Let's get some sleep."
