“So,” Thalia started with a smirk that turned into a teasing smile as she approached the table set outside a small, unknown cafe where Jason sat in a chair with sky blue irises looking away from the menu and at her. “What’s got you all glowing and lovesick, little brother?”
Jason laughed breathlessly and folded the menu closed, placing it on the surface as Thalia took her seat across from him and reached for the preordered water, the glass covered in droplets of condensation. As she drank through the straw, Jason scratched his cheek and glanced away. Before he could speak, he heard his sister snickering under her breath. “Shut up. You don’t even know what I’m going to say.”
“I don’t need to. It’s all over your face, you know. You’re very vague in your letters and messages so tell me. Who is it?”
“Well, um,” Jason paused with a breath, rubbing his palms together and continued, “it’s a he. And he’s…we’re just friends. That’s all it is.”
Thalia nodded, stirring the ice with the straw. She tilted her head with a small smile, the teasing quality of the corner of her lips disappeared and she asked, “That’s all it is but you want something more, right? Why don’t you talk to him about how you feel?”
“Why didn’t you? With Reyna.”
They stared at each other for several passing, silent moments. The wind blew past with a breeze that rustled the loose strands of their hair and bit at the skin of their noses and cheeks. Thalia wasn’t smiling and the airy, light tone of Jason’s voice was much more harsh than he intended.
Thalia pursed her lips and set the glass on the table with a soft clink. Electric blue eyes found the passing cars that shrunk and disappeared into the horizon, listening to the soft chatter of pedestrians walking past with laughter and smiles or an aura of seriousness and melancholy.
“We never truly managed to say the things we want to say, do we?”
“No. We don’t.”
Thalia picked up the menu and flipped it over, scanning the contents of the ingredients of the meals listed along with the prices on the side in red print. “Tell him, Jay. Before you lose him too. Heartache…is never something I would want for you.”

the mortifying ordeal of being known
--
I think with Yor being so perceptive, she picks up on little things often (like we saw in ch 103). i believe this would impact loid more so than the usual person, because he is a spy and fakes every part of himself, so to be seen is simultaneously desirable and horrifying. like, it makes him torn between wanting to accept and reciprocate the love, or distancing himself so that it doesn't happen again.
thats mostly what the last panel is about, that dichotomy between 'omg this person noticed this about me, is this love' and 'oh shit this person noticed this about me, is this Doom'
just some thoughts i had🤪

I just love love love that there’s a guy wandering about Dungeon Meshi going, ‘but what are the socioeconomic and geopolitical consequences of this fantasy quest adventure, both while it’s ongoing and after its inevitable completion?! The skillset required to find and kill a Mad Mage is different than that required to responsibly, benevolently and effectively rule a kingdom. I personally must either find a good candidate, somehow make one, or, most likely, take on the whole Mageslayer/King role myself.” Except he doesn’t have the first skillset, and his whole party keeps dying while these highly competent chucklefucks wander past, kill and eat the monster, and save their bodies for the nth time. Kabru would demand to know if Aragorn is familiar with Gondorin tax law. His isekai energy is off the charts, because this is all exactly what I would do if dropped into a fantasy quest adventure, right down to repeatedly dying due to not actually being suited to the genre conventions.

The sound of John Constantine’s incredulous voice entered the meeting room before his body did. “Fight an Infinite Realms ghost? Are you insane?! Do you want to get us killed?”
Zatanna spun and almost snarled at him. “What would you have us do then, Constantine? Maybe you’re okay with sacrificing people sometimes, but we’re the heroes. We can’t just let it keep wreaking havoc. There’s no reported deaths yet, but we don’t know how long that’ll last.”
He leaned against the wall nonchalantly and lit a cigarette. “Well, what’s it yelling about?”
“What?”
He took a long drag before continuing. “Realms ghosts– they’re basically immune to our magic, but they’re easy marks if you know how to deal with ‘em. They all have some sort of Obsession. Just work with that and they’re remarkably simple to manipulate.” His voice turned to a grumble, “Doesn’t mean they can’t be a huge pain in the fucking ass sometimes though.”
Tapping some ash off his cigarette, he looked straight back into the room again. “So… what’re they yelling about?”

also must say i am REALLY fucking with this level of phandom-dan&phil interaction right now. the bits are immense. we are communicating. we are locked in a war of pettiness at all time. dan and phil have had to address several allegations including "we made our sims ugly" and "phil did not literally dox our house". idk. nature is healing and ive never felt so joyous being so annoying <333
