Othello was genuinely touched by @elletta from staying the night to watching Benji, that's what he assumed anyways, and that pulled at something in Othello that he didn't expect. He hadn't been hungover in the slightest he even remembered everything up to chugging his bottle of liquor in front of Elletta and Zarha, yelling at Aldrich too. Regan. Goddess knows he wasn't ready to deal with any of them yet to start an apology party was a future problem for right now, so he set out to find Elletta and where she stayed.

He had really got to ponder their friendship from Coheed to now and it was forming feelings that Othello hadn't yet or he hadn't yet acknowledged, but their last spar he definitely saw something bubbling to the surface.

It didn't take him long to find the woman's place and he hadn't been there long (long enough to knock and peek as much as possible) when he heard her familiar loud mouth call out his name. Collecting himself Othello turned from he door and gave her a little awkward wave, "I saw your letter and wanted to save you the trip of coming back...I wanted to apologize for my behavior at the party and toward you and the others after..." he just jumped in, "Thank you for yelling at me a little, maybe it's what I needed, but it shouldn't have been...I'm not good at these things so there, you have it. Sorry."

Othello was feeling a little relieved and he smirked, "So's it do, even," when she offered for them to go into her place he nodded, "ye..yeah that's cool," he rubbed at his collar his fingers brushing his collar, "a gift? For me?" he wasn't use to gifts but he wasn't going to turn it down he was touched by the action.

"you..you didn't have to do that ya' know?"

Othello didn't move to create space, well maybe a little, the wind picked up enough to waft a smell of Elletta...it reminded him of their spar in Coheed...the spar not entirely long ago...she smelled sweet and peppery. He didn't know her cheeks were burning but his face was suddenly basking in a heat of its own he covered it by rubbing his face as he followed her in.

As he surveyed her living space he only caught her asking about his neck, touching the scratches, "I was wondering what happened...uh..thank you, might need to be checked again, these collars are a bitcb and irritates my skin...," he stepped closer to her so she could look.

Othello took a seat on the edge of her bed, "ah, very soft," he exclaimed to himself when Elletta walked away yet again he surveyed the room, "so are you like a healer? Medic I guess they call it here, do you like it?" Othello would adjust himself sk Elletta could tend to his neck.

When her hands touched the scratch and she was sitting so close his blue eyes didn't hide the fact he was looking her all over her face...she was...Elletta was very beautiful. He noted the heat in her cheeks how it radiated off of her, she had whiskey brown eyes, and the sweet smell he had always picked up on was coming from her hair.

"you have a gentle touch for fixing boo boos," he whispered so he wasn't shouting on her face, "...you always blush like that when you help someone though?"

He didn't mind her touching him and when she moved to grab her stuff he found it odd he didn't want her to stop, still her denial was obviously cute. Red face and all.

He sat stone still and in his head little bits of the party (mostly after he stormed out of his own house) came back to him in audible fragments:

'I sure as fuck didna think o' you's like that in Coheed and that ain't fuckin changed!'

She had been shouting and poking him.

"Well maybe you'll know something about this, when you came to find me after I left the party and shouted about Coheed and how you felt about me then hadn't changed now," he had a serious and soft tone as he spoke, "how do you feel?"

Counter question and Othello giggled, that was good, he did lean back drawing her full attention to the conversation to him, "Ögge? My ex-wife? She left, she wasn't going to be able to live here or bend to your ways. I let her go, I wasn't going to force her to stay...so the answer to my question does matter."
