[Private to Vesper; text]

I need to apologize for what I did to you in March.

I'm not asking for your forgiveness, and I don't expect it; I just want you to know that I'm sorry for what I did. I know it's long overdue. After what I was put through in Zero I was far too hasty in putting that week behind me.

[Ivy's definition of 'friend' for this purpose is '2+ civil conversations while not under mind control'.]

I doubt I'm the only person who needed a while to recover from the port; still, I'm sorry if I worried anyone. If it hasn't already been made obvious, I'd like to hear that you made it back safely.

[Of course she ends up back out here eventually. The rain's tailed off; seasonality is muted here but nonetheless the light falling onto the deck is a little brighter, a little warmer, and it's brought a fresh flush of growth to the greenhouse and rows of planters just outside. Ivy's mostly busy with making sure that the (her) plants have the space and support they need: repotting seedlings, staking out climbers, and moving the more delicate plants outside now it's warm enough to sustain them.

She seems - calm, all things considered, moving fluidly and talking to the plants in indistinguishable murmurs.]

It worked perfectly, thank you. They're in good health.

I'm glad. [ And this is where it gets awkward because... how do you touch feelings with Ivy? ]

[Pro tip: You don't.]

Mm.

I hope you're not losing too much sleep over your own experiences in port. Although if you are, I do owe you a favor.

[Ivy, offering to drug someone isn't cool and phrasing it in such a way that implies you're offering to fuck him into unconsciousness isn't cool either.]

[ Point made. ]

Come again? No, uh-- no, I'm recovering. The place wasn't after me. I got out with a couple of stabwounds, and the team intact.

For now I've got a boy to watch over, a houseguest to take care of until he mends... plenty of things to keep me busy, and make it easy enough to sleep at night, these days.

[ Best night of sleep he's had in a while was on his bathroom floor next to Edward, who knew. ]

Was taking in strays a habit before you got here, Megamind? You ought to just give up and open a shelter.

Who are you playing nurse with?

[ He shrugs, and says ]

My criminal clan was never large, but I see not reason not to expand it some on the barge, as I'm able. [ Minion's not here to mother him, but he at his heart a social creature, in need of people and their energy. ] And I don't think two people is shelter-worthy.

Chris recuperates next door, and Edward Nygma had to get some wounds tended.

[ Whether he'll stay there tonight or not, as he feels better-- Megamind doesn't know. There's still a whole lot of nervous uncertainty over things. ]

Riddler? Well, I can't say that's time well spent on your part, but I suppose it's a matter of personal taste.

Is there a problem between the two of you I don't know about? [ Read: Should know about, but Edward will never, ever tell me of his own accord, because it's Edward. ]

Certainly not on my part - that would imply emotional investment. He might bear a grudge or two but I don't particularly care.

...he totally has a grudge, doesn't he? May I ask why he might be cranky with you?

Sorry. You'll have to ask him yourself.

Yeah, and the success rates for straight answers with Mr. Nygma is probably around the same rate I'd have if I asked you for a date.

[ Which is to say, less than zero. ]

Anyway. I'm fine [ no he's not ], glad your plants are fine, and that you are fine. I'll -- talk to you at a later date, I suppose.

[She knows you're not fine. But she could also take a guess at why you're not fine, and wow they're never talking about that ever.]

I suppose you will. Until then.
