[ Petre knows how this joke ends, ready for the void to swallow him up after an awkward parting message โ but a voice cuts through the static instead, and Petre's second realization is that this is what he hoped he would say. The way only Aegon knows how. ]
โฆ Okay. Good.
[ With the careful optimism of letting a house of cards go. ]
[ It's that I want to be that he keeps doubting, keeps feeling undeserving of. That he wants but keeps convincing himself it's a trickโ Aemond was bound to him by blood, and he often doubts him, too, he's just had a lot more weeks of reassurances. Petre has nothing forcing him to be apart of his life. At least this time, he recognizes that his words to Petre sparked this conversation, his attempt to push him away, to question their closeness. ]
Now's your chance, if there's anything else you need me to say.
[ So they don't have to do this again, preferably (haha). His words are calm, but he also would like to go die now. ]
[ If Aegon could see him, this is where he'd break the tension with a conspiratorial smile. The sentiment is there regardless. ]
Nope.
[ Now he can put what happened away where they don't have to look at or talk about it anymore. He only needs to hear it once to make it permanent. Which is the beginning of so many problems when Petre is involved. ]

It takes him a while to come back. He'll probably regret this the moment he stops to finally blink. ]
ever had something you thought you actually couldn't live without
then one day it was gone and all you could do was pretend that nothing is missing
[ wow weird a sudden switch to present tense? ]
but you keep getting reminded that it is and it really fucking sucks that you can't have it again so you keep doing shit to forget it
