I get the initial impression that Pepper stuck his foot in his mouth here. Putting on a cool exterior is everything to Mars and she was clearly embarrassed about their arrangement. So “Yeah it’s weird, but who cares?” was probably the wrong angle.
I hope I’m wrong, of course, but the look she gives him makes me think this is exactly the reaction she was afraid of.
stair pattern in the planks on the wall and floor 👁👁
in the back of his mind he’s still thinking about the stairs (and that he has to go back down them) but he’s deflecting by focusing on mars instead, old dog old tricks :mars-point::pepper-surprise:
Is it bad that I don’t understand Pepper rn? What’s so weird about being friends with Achilles? Or are they talking about the whole Hitting for Profit-thing??
Pepper clearly knows that Mars like likes Achilles. But she’s still in a (currently transactional) relationship with someone who likes being hit and have dirt shoved in his mouth, and she does those things for him. That’s weird to Pepper, who’s put off by Achilles being hurt.
Chloe might find it more weird that Mars is friends with someone like Achilles.
Therapy session over, pay me bitch :mars-point:
boy is her face red

they’re talking about the hitting for profit thing, but to mars it’s deeper than that i think. she clearly feels more about it than pepper knows.
