Wednesday: March/25/09 - AIM: Starbuck/Fox Starbuck: How are you feeling? Fox: Fine. Starbuck: Have my handprints faded away yet? They should have by now, but it varies with everyone. Fox: I've been trying not to look. Having a blue stomach is a bit unnerving. Starbuck: Better than bleeding out, right? Fox: I'd've been fine. Fox: Eventually. Starbuck: I know you heal fast like me, but that was still a bad wound. Fox: Couple stitches and it wouldn't be a problem. Starbuck: Wow, you're welcome. Fox: Sorry. I'm not in the best of moods and I don't mean to take it out on you. Fox: Thanks, really. Starbuck: It's cool. Any chance you feel like telling me why someone stabbed you? Fox: I pissed Riley's insane baby momma off without realizing it. Starbuck: Ouch, yeah, don't piss off the baby mommas. Fox: Yeah. Hard to control when you don't realize what you did until she comes at you with a letter opener. Starbuck: Did you guys work things out? Fox: Let me repeat she's nuts. Starbuck: I get that, but do you think she's going to attack you again? Fox: Not if I can help it. Starbuck: Probably should just avoid them for a bit and let them work it out. Fox: That's my plan. Starbuck: I always figured it would treat you after being attacked by an angry woman, but I just assumed Frankie would set you on fire. Fox: Love the vote of confidence there. Starbuck: Dude, she thinks you lied to her to get her into bed. Starbuck: That sort of shit makes women mad. Starbuck: Plus, she's having a rough time right now. Fox: Yeah, and even after knowing me for so long and better than anyone, she was still more than happy to believe the worst of me. Starbuck: Sorry. Starbuck: You're the one who told her. Fox: She wouldn't believe the truth, so may as well tell her what she wants to hear. Fox: She knows the truth anyways. Starbuck: She does? Fox: Yeah. Starbuck: How did that happen? And how the fuck did I miss this? She usually comes running to our apartment with news. Fox: Last week or so. Fox: She messaged me. Starbuck: She just figured it out? Fox: Seemed so. Starbuck: So are you two better then? Fox: No idea. Starbuck: Maybe it's been long enough that you can figure things out and be friends again. Fox: Maybe. Starbuck: She needs friends. Fox: We tried that once. Didn't turn out so well. Starbuck: True. Fox: Yeah. So it might not be the best choice. Starbuck: Good call. Maybe just settle for being on good terms. Fox: I'm not reaching out for it. She'll have to come to me. Starbuck: We'll see. I think she's dealing with bigger issues right now. Starbuck: Apparently she's bisexual now. Fox: Not surprising. Starbuck: I guess not, considering what happened with Pearl. Fox: Yup;. Starbuck: Apparently something happened with Lyle too, which doesn't sit well with me. Fox: What do you mean? Starbuck: I don't know, I only overheard bits and pieces when she was telling Kim. Something about them kissing and keeping things casual. Fox: Yeah, because that's what I want to hear. Starbuck: Why would it bother you? Fox: Never mind. Starbuck: Do you still have feelings for her? Fox: No. Starbuck: Alright. Fox: I'm gonna go to the gym. I'll catch you later. Starbuck: Later.
