( she's right. julie and soma get along when they aren't forced to act on their morals, but when they have to, they both stubbornly stick to what they think is right.
and they both have very different ideas about what is right and what is wrong. )
i'm glad to have met you.

the two of you would get along so nicely, she has a kind heart.
[ itβs good anyway for soma to have someone else besides her. violetta is a much better person than julie, he needs that balance. ]
i know we donβt always see eye-to-eye, but thereβs nobody iβm more thankful to see here than you.

to be honest it sounds kind of cool. i would rather deal with cat cults than dracula fanatics.
( he's making a mental note to try and speak with the novelist again. there's definitely more to him than he is letting on. )
hm?

interesting, but not surprising entirely. some people used to worship them.
[ makes her wonder if marcus is apart of that, then, since heβs a feline. sheβs never going to ask. ]
if she comes around, i want for you to meet violetta. sheβs an angel.

i see.
( soma sucks at socializing, it's rare for him to talk to anyone first. julie is different, always getting to know these other interesting people. he really envies her for that ability. )
he actually talked about cults with me, was pretty nice about it. told me how

iβve never actually tried sushi, soβ
[ and... wasnβt expecting that, but she can see the similarities. ]
well, yeah, he is off. i donβt know if he owns it, but heβs living in this manor i think with a bunch of other people. donβt know what theyβre doing, some of the other people in there are cool.

( he's making a grimace, yeah those are some weird ass food combos. do people really eat anything? )
you know, monkey brain is actually some kind of sushi. avocado filled with spicy salmon. it's kinda good.
( very misleading name. who thought of that anyway? )
+
so, not wood ice cream, bull balls or whatever that chick said, horse milk, platypus tail, monkey brains, we are going to have a nice fucking dinner. and breakfast. and lunch. huge meals because weβll always be skinny.
[ sheβs rocking their arms, her grin as wide as it can get. ]

( she's right. overthinking won't make it better, it'll usually only archive the opposite.
he takes a deep breath, hands squeezing the blonde's. they're calloused with a few small little cuts, strong. warm. very pleasant to hold. )
you're right. there's much more to think about.
+
i mean, iβd probably be struggling too if i was in your place. kind of an identity crisis thing or whatever.
[ sheβs taking his hands into her own, squeezing them nice and tight. ]
stop worrying your pretty little head about it, soma. thereβs so many other things to focus on.

cult leader.
he chuckles, not out of amusement, but out of embarrassment. )
i'm sorry. i know this is weird. and difficult, and i always end up mulling it over.
you must be sick of it by now. i am too.
