"OH! Shit–Boss. Hey– I…um. Huh." Jericho scratched the back of his head, looking everywhere but M. "I wasn't expecting you to be awake."

M gave Jericho an irritated look. “Then why the hell did you come here? To talk to Alison?” His second question sounded sharp and suspicious.

Oh fuck. "No! No. Nonono. I just–" He looked like he was going to have an aneurysm. Jericho sighed, slumping. "I think–No. I know I rejected a Goddess tonight."

M ran a hand through his hair, which stopped dead at the back of his head. It kinda stayed there like that for a bit until he set it down by his side.
“No, no no. This must be a dream. Goodnight.” He went to go shut the door on Jericho and his bad decisions.

"Yea… Yea you're right, Boss. Just a dream. Bye!" Jericho turned abruptly, setting off down the porch with his head down, only to return to the door a moment later. "Actually…no. The GODS are walking around ISLA, M!" He shouted through the door.

“Okay, yea, that’s nice Jericho,” M’s faint voice dismissed through the door, waving his hand though the other man couldn’t see it.
“Have a good, pathetic night, Jericho.”

Jericho stared at the door for a moment longer, realizing he sounded insane. He rubbed his hands over his face as he turned away. "Yea. Goodnight Boss." He muttered and started back to his apartment. Well…great. My boss thinks I'm a raving lunatic now.

M sighed deeply and ripped open the door again with a flourish. He stepped outside, glaring after Jericho.
“Come back, Jericho,” He half-shouted half-growled as to not wake up his wife.

Jericho turned at M's voice, surprised as hell that he actually came back out. He darted up the steps already half way through his explanation. "–I swear M, I was just trying to take a nice lady out for a drink and then she turned out to be a Goddess. WHY. I don't know. I'm just an elemental and now I'm pretty damn sure I'm going to die. Oh man this is–" He froze in M's living room.

(*Elementalist bro bro)

M had trailed after him, looking exhausted and woebegone. “She was a Goddess. Right. Okay. They do that. Insanity and Death walk around all the time, why can’t she?” He glanced at Jericho. “You know the Gods walk around literally all the time. They’re up in the Palace all the time.”

Jericho paled. NO! He mentally shouted to M because he was unable to speak. I was obviously NOT privy to that information! "How had I not noticed her before?" He asked wistfully, glancing up at M. "She's perfect."

“Of course she’s perfect!” M burst out suddenly, scowling at him. “I don’t know why in the world you didn’t run off with her. You’re a lonely bachelor which the exactt tyoe of guy she wants! She’s been complaining about it constantly to me. And she knows you’re related to me, and now that you’re not willing to take chances.” He crossed his arms. “What were you thinking, walking away from her?”

Jericho stared at M, completely floored. He sputtered for a moment before coming to his senses. Which were mad. All of them. "Lonely bachelor? I'm not lonely! I'm waiting for the right girl! Which is not a GODDESS with an all or nothing ultimatum, M! What the hell?! You tried to set me up with Resentment and didn't even tell me? LOW BLOW M! Low fucking blow." He didn't care that he was shouting. That was two people now that thought they could control his life. "I thought I was being nice by not sleeping with a woman I just met. Holy hell." Jericho crossed his own arms, staring at his boss, his friend, with contempt.

M’s arms flew to his sides and he leaned forward towards Jericho like a cobra ready to strike.
“Stop feeling all misunderstood Jericho. I know what goes on in your mind. You deined a Goddess. Do you know what that even means? She’s going to come to me and try and get you to lose your job. She’s going to say a ton of shit about you because of this. And hey, keep your fucking voice down or I actually will fire you! You’re the one who came up to my house and acted like what you did was right, when it wasn’t. I’ve known those asshole-Gods for over two-thousand years! You can’t can’t tell me what’s right and what isn’t.”
