[ Love is a lot. Such mortification over accidental insult is a lot, especially considering the number of times Iggy's flippant jokes about or casual flirtations with Danny have crawled under Quentin's skin and stayed there for days. But that is for another time, if it's even for saying at all. As with all things Danny, it's sore for even Quentin to touch--and with as wounded as Iggy seems over this, Quentin can't imagine how he'd react to that.
[ He's doing emotional math in head, feeling dour--but the last bit tacked on the end makes him laugh in real space. He has to apologize to Merta. ]
Iggy, if you don't die, consider beach day something I OWE you Or riverbed day idk what we call it here
[It's easy to forget that Iggy - outgoing and friendly and always eager to please - is in fact terribly socially awkward. He has no metric by which to judge love and friendship, no real understanding of what isn't appropriate to say until he's trotted blithely across some line. He likes and respects Quentin and he hates that he seems to keep hurting him.
Mentally, he vows to do better. He can be better.]
it'll be fun!
we will. we've got a whole group of spooky people, one of us is bound to find something.
