You're not excusing him, not forgiving anything. But you can at least understand him... you think. You at least feel like kicking yourself for looking for your would-be ex in him, and throwing yourself in his arms last night. Not that it particularly stirs any sympathies for him however, not when things are all the more complicated for him knowing your identity and aware if not accepting of your superhuman nature.
<span class="mu-b">"And that's why you stole from me? My wallet, my phone and- no! Not yet, we're in the middle of something!"</span> you hiss at an annoyed waitress looking for a chance to ask what you want to drink for dinner, <span class="mu-b">"Wait, so what is your name?"</span>
<span class="mu-s">"...what? Oh, it's Carter... but I didn't steal anything, I didn't know you had anything to take."</span> he frees his face from his hands for a time, when you bring him back with your questioning.
One step at a time. At least at the moment he claims not to have stolen your possessions, but who's to say he doesn't have them back at his place or hidden wherever? It's not much to go on, the notion of trusting him for all he's saying despite his reaction to you. But regardless of your belongings, there is the other matter. As to him seemingly aware of the truth about your superhuman nature, to some extent at least. He knows your name, he knows your face, and he has some idea of what you can do... or at least what happens when you have too much to drink, or possibly something else?
This rather annoying for you in any case though, you must admit. It seemed so easy to just pin all the blame on the apparent sleazebag from last night, but assuming he isn't lying to you, then you don't really know who took your belongings.
>Well this didn't go as expected, it seems you did quite a number on him. No hard feelings? Maybe try to reach some understanding over dinner? Who even is this guy?
>Regardless of whether he actually stole from you, if he wants to do right by you then he'll help in getting your belongings back.
>For all the trouble he's caused you, you expect something in return. He seems to have access to a lot of resources, so he'd better make it up to you.
>You suppose you'll have to try and intimidate him into keeping secret about you? If you can't come up with some convincing ruse to sell him, that is.
>As dire a problem as he could be, can you bring yourself to potentially... kill the guy? You've never done anything like it before, but then you've never needed to...
>So uh... how far did things get between you two? What did you do together before things went awry... you're only asking of course, to hold it against him! Definitely!
>A brutal write-in?
