[Just leave me alone for a few days. Considering how furious she got, he should probably listen to her and follow those exact instructions. Even Kate told him that some time would probably be better for the both of them. But considering he knows he's messed up, it almost feels wrong to waste time when he knows what he needs to say. So he decides to take a chance that she'll completely blow up on him again, contacting her the next morning.]
I'm an asshole. A huge one. If I had the strength of an actual Viking, I'd punch myself in the face. I'm sorry.
[ Now that she isn't operating on three-quarters leftover alcohol in her bloodstream, Verity's impatience has evened out. Even if she feels some residual bitterness, she recalls the whole affair on the network as a blur of frustration and upset that she would rather not revisit, especially after this apology. ]
You do have the strength of one, just maybe not in your fists.
[ It's a little snarky, but that's gentled by the understated tease that lingers. He's a good friend, whether they frazzled each other to the point of simmering on hot coals or not. ]
[It's definitely not the same tone she had given him yesterday so it's safe to say she's probably not as furious as had been and he wasn't in completely dangerous territory.]
I do if you're still up for it. [Which he's glad he hasn't royally screwed up so much that she wouldn't be.] Want to try for the weekend maybe? I'm kept busy for a while since apparently I have to play hero by the water because I'm supposedly a great swimmer.
Their sense of humor is so awful. They wanted me to dress up like the goddess Athena at a park and pretend to be her. Me. My head would have exploded from telling lies all day.
Sorry they gave you a stupid job, I'll keep an eye out for openings anywhere.
At least you got out of it. I might think about trying something that might let me go to the air a bit more. Like a dragon delivery service or something.

Yeah, maybe in all the wrong places.

[ It's a little awkward he's doing it once, to be frank. ]
I'm sorry, too.

[Cue a whine from a dragon that gave his trainer a few smacks earlier for causing trouble.]

I guess I'll see him whenever we do that thing you have planned, if you still want to.
