Haytham giving Charles gift advice for Jacob. I'm so amused.
just spite
i love that they're just silently sizing each other up
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Haytham is fully expecting to get judged. He also figures Charles thinks something untoward happened between him and Ziio. Which he'll correct if it comes up, but.
just spite
he assumes a white dude knocked up a pretty native chick and then fucked off, oh look it's thursday
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
He wouldn't have fucked off if she hadn't made him. ):
just spite
well WE know that
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
And Haytham will tell him. If it comes up. His attitude is changing a little now that Connor's told him he's dead.
just spite
strangely freeing, isn't it?
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
It really is. Because maybe he can be the man he's wanted to be.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
.......Even if he really doesn't know how.

... Charles meeting Ziio. ANOTHER plus in the 'attempting to app her' column...
just spite
...ow
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
This could get interesting.

Already was loving the idea of her getting to meet her son's friends and girlfriend and having her ex around

snerk
just spite
does he go practical, which jacob will be able to get more of more easily and on a regular basis, or does he get the fancier sort? jacob isn't really fancy but he might like a nice thing and what does he do
just spite
and now there's pastries to consider.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Get a larger box of practical and a smaller box of fancy.

me shoving popcorn in my face about this
just spite
look, he drinks coffee. black. this shit is greek to him.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Oh yeah, Jacob, a man named Haytham helped me pick it out... What do you mean did he touch it?
just spite
LOL
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
I promise Haytham won't try to tell him to bring cucumber sandwiches.
just spite
no no, this is delightful
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
And I get more and more tempted to bring Sahkonteic.
Toss

⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Oddly enough, Haytham's main reaction is 'ah, another person I can trust.'
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
The natives have taught him well.
Toss
Good.
Toss
Charles is very trustworthy.
just spite
he is large and shaped like a friend
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
At this rate, Haytham is going to just believe that native men are gigantic, as a rule.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
And it's better to be on their side, really.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Also tagging will return in a few minutes, I got food and my salad is full of lettuce stalk that has to go.
Toss
This is a fair assumption.
Toss
Kanen'tó:kon wasn't a small man either.
Toss
Checks out.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Native men are giants, native women are dangerous, stay on their good sides.
just spite
charles is a gentle giant. mostly.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Well, Haytham is living by 'don't start none, won't be none' at the moment. So he has nothing to worry about.
just spite
he would rather not hurt anyone.
just spite
see, that's a good stance.
just spite
they'll get along fine
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
He's also decided to try to be ... father... ish. If he can figure out what that means.
just spite
well, trying is a very important first step.
just spite
some don't get that far.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
It's that whole 'dead' thing. He figures he can't fuck it up any harder than letting his son kill him.
just spite
...you could have killed him? that would probably be worse.
Toss
Honestly? Not sure.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
He tried. Ish? Like.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
He could've seen Connor dead at least three times, probably more.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
But it turns out....... he can't.
just spite
did he though
just spite
cause i watched those cutscenes and mmmmmmm
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
He could've let Connor be hanged, but he couldn't.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
He could've jumped onto him with blade already out in the church - but he didn't.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
And while he was choking Connor at the end, he could've triggered his blade. But he didn't.
Toss
Connor's with Haytham on this.
Toss
It's fine, Charles.
just spite
for a man that ruthless to know he should have killed him, for that to be his last thought on earth, and for him not to
just spite
that's sentiment
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Haytham agrees with that.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
It is sentiment.
Toss
It hurts me every time ngl.
just spite
it hurt me a lot and i would like to return this feeling
just spite
why do video games hurt me
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
But Haytham (my Haytham, at least) ended his life with those words intentionally.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
If he'd said something actually sentimental? For one, he wouldn't have been believed.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
For another, there would've been a chance - albeit slight - that it could've softened Connor toward the Templar cause. Just enough to make him doubt or hesitate. And at that point, Haytham was counting on Connor killing Lee.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Lee, who was bigoted, avaricious, and not to be trusted.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
So he had to keep that bit of hatred and anger alive. Even as he died.
just spite

Toss
RUDE
Toss
Rude, dad.
Toss
You're the worst.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
He went into that last fight with the full intent that his son kill him. Because it was the only way out.
just spite
yeah. yeah.
Toss
He knew it.
just spite
no doubt.
Toss
lmao he keeps just being like
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
I'M GOING TO CHOKE YOU WHILE MONOLOGUING JESUS CHRIST WHAT'S TAKING YOU SO LONG
Toss
My father totally wanted me to kill him. He had every chance to kill me but didn't. He didn't want to. And I killed him instead and this sucks and I hate everything.
just spite
No, shh.
Toss
:C
Toss
He's upset.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
He might have a chance now, though, to see what Haytham couldn't let him see before.
just spite
you're a good boy
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
The man who loved his farm in Virginia because on summer nights, the grasses danced with fireflies.
Toss
Oh no.
just spite
sob
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
The man who had no slaves despite the fact that it made his farm almost entirely unprofitable.
Toss
Also: Connor and Angel might invite him over for dinner like a grossly domestic family and I'm here for it.

Is there a problem, Jacob? >.> All he's doing is picking out gifts with your boyf and having tea with Connor's girl.
JACOB NO
... he does not trust you Mr Templar
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
He'll remember that when you come looking for information.
Toss
Shhh, Jacob, it's fine. Connor's got this.
JACOB NO
He doesn't think you should trust him either Haytham. But you keep away from his.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
All he's doing is helping.
JACOB NO
HISS
Toss
Down, boy.

Connor's got this.

Connor and Haytham should have a thread sometime after a demon fight. >.>

Uh oh.

Let Connor see just how honest Haytham was being about the injury.
JACOB NO
oooh yes they really should /nodnod

also it's okay jacob, if anything goes wrong, angel will just eat everything :T

also I will throw Jacob or James at Haytham shortly

Haytham and Charles have yet to start talking pastries.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
>.>
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
And yay!
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
I'm also loving how people keep seeing Haytham as a gentleman. At least part of his act is holding true.
just spite
/gestures as everyone charles has hung out with previously as the bar he had to pass
just spite
it is a very low bar
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Shhhh, let him have this.
just spite
he is a very fancy gentleman
JACOB NO
... is he?
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Haytham has no noble blood. Zero. But he knows how to act like he does.
JACOB NO
er noble blood means nothing at all.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Absolutely. But it changes people's perception.
JACOB NO
Jacob just rolling his eyes over the body of a hero of the realm and uttering "what a prick"
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
You can be a prick and a noble at the same time, but not every noble is a prick. And not every prick is a noble.
JACOB NO
eh.... debatable. There's a few exceptions but Jacob doesn't like most of the English ones
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Neither does Haytham, for that matter. But pretending nobility opens doors, especially in a place where people don't know the difference between "English" and "English nobility."
just spite
don't hate the player
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Pretending to power often lends power on its own.
JACOB NO
James is horrified by all of this.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
Hey, with James, he can always tell the truth. His father was new money, he was taught by private instructors... All true.
just spite
fffffffffff
JACOB NO
selective truth is still the truth /nodnod
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
There are ways to frame things to get the result you want.
JACOB NO
and none of them can help who their fathers are. If James was to know Haytham's father was a pirate, he would heartily congratulate Haytham for becoming the man he is today.
⋆ᴛʜᴀᴛᴀʟɪꜱᴛᴀɪʀ⋆
And he'd be suitably grateful for the congratulations, of course.
