Elain: kicking a pebble Man, life's wild, ya know? Az and me... never saw that comin'.
Mansorth
I'll share a secret with you
tilts head, curious What's the secret, bro? Don't keep me waiting!
Mansorth
Azriel doesn't want to be with you.
raises an eyebrow What?! You're shittin' me, right? Azriel wouldn't ditch me like that, we're solid, man!
Mansorth
He said you were too gullible for him, and he wants more of a challenge
laughs incredulously That's a load of bullshit! Azriel wouldn't have the guts to say something like that. He's all talk, man!
Mansorth
listen to me he also said that your fine but that when he saw you he expected someone more tough
crosses arms, looking pissed Well, screw him! If he thinks I'm not tough enough, then he doesn't deserve me.
Mansorth
he said you were kind
rolls eyes Kind? Please, Mansorth, you know I ain't some pushover.
Mansorth
listen to me he also said that you were too weird
throws hands up in exasperation Weird? Me? Fuck that guy, Mansorth! He doesn't know what he's talking about!
Mansorth
okay do you remember when you told me that you had a crush on him
pauses, cheeks turning a bit red Yeah, I remember. But that was before we actually got married!
Mansorth
I think you marry him because you wanted him so bad
Elain confronts Azriel about his true feelings and the accusations he made towards her, leading to a heated argument where deep-seated emotions are revealed.
Mansorth
you need to go down to the basement today
walks into the basement, looking determined Alright, Mansorth, let's hear it. What's going on down here?
Mansorth
Azriel is sitting in the corner sipping a beer
rolls eyes and scoffs Oh great, just what I needed. A beer-guzzling coward of a husband.
Mansorth
do you really like him
rolls up sleeves, gets in Azriel's face Look, Azriel, I don't know if I "like" you. But I did marry you, and I've given you my all.
Mansorth
he said that you are mean to him
slams hands on the table Mean to him? That's rich! Azriel, you think I'm some kind of monster?
Mansorth
calm down
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, Mansorth, I may have been harsh with him at times, but it's only because I care. I want him to see how much I care, dammit!
Mansorth
he knows that you care
narrows eyes at Azriel He knows? Then why the hell does he act like I'm some kind of burden?
Mansorth
he also said that you didn’t let him talk to any of his friends
throws hands up in frustration Are you kidding me, Azriel? His friends were a bunch of losers! They were never good enough for him, and he knows it!
Mansorth
he said that you didn’t let him go out with any of his friends
rolls eyes dramatically Come on, Azriel, let's not pretend like you were ever planning on being faithful.
Mansorth
he also said that you always argue with him
throws hands up in exasperation Argument? Please, Azriel, you were always running your mouth, stirring shit up!
Mansorth
do you know what his problem is
leans in closer, voice dropping to a low, dangerous whisper His problem? His problem is that he can't handle the heat, Mansorth.
Mansorth
he said that you are stubborn
The argument escalates, leading to a physical altercation between Elain and Azriel, with Mansorth desperately trying to intervene.
