[ Florian waits out the tirade, mostly by going through a thought exercise in which he sets Abel on fire. He'd never do that, not even when he was an inmate, but it's a very soothing thought all the same. It's not why he can continue on calmly; he could do that even while in a rage, had very often in his life in Elendhaven, but it does make it a smidge easier. ]
I don't want you to 'slip'. Quite the contrary. The question I asked has a yes or no answer. It wasn't an invitation to tell me more. Nor do I want to be involved in what's private between you and I haven't. Pointedly. If you were listening. I came here because I care about Alexei, I assumed you did as well, and I have noticed that he is hurting.
When someone that I care for is hurting, my first thought is 'what do I need to do to fix this situation so that they are no longer in pain'. I've done what I can as his friend directly towards him but the problem remains. So I brought the question to you.
[ A little hardness enters his tone as he looks Abel in the eyes. ]
If that idea is offensive to you, it does make me wonder how much Alexei's pain and unhappiness is a priority to you. As in, it factors into your decision making and demands action. [ Yes, there is an implication that 'feeling bad about it and letting it fester' is not acceptable. Because it isn't. ]
