Probably, bedding a fellow Councilor was a bad idea in the first place. Having fresh-face, wide-eyed Jayce Talis on the Council was another.
She thought she could mold him into something beautiful and useful and enjoyable; things were looking up well. Then she woke up alone.

He did came back with an apology, all sorry, both for leaving her and because of why he left her and still unaware that his very apology is yet another blunder (this guy is more important than you; please comfort me?)

Jayce Talis is too damn honest. And trusting. It’s both refreshing and burdening.

Nicely done! (And I love the title of this piece.)

Thank you! (I had so much trouble coming up with this title, I felt there was maybe a better way to phrase it, or a very different sentence to use but what? Now I'm glad I stuck with it.)

Mel's POV on Jayce basically being a literal puppy is an interesting thing to see!

[malurette]

Possibly, all the Jayce/Viktor fics that compared Jayce to a puppy are bleeding intomy perception of his character, but I needed a nice, sympathetic, endearing way to have Mel deal with his bullshit?
(I like a lot! and in this episode I sympathize with Viktor most! but the way he accidentally treated Mel is appalling too? wow Jayce no?)

Heeee, probably not because I haven't read any of those fics myself and he's still an actual puppy to me. xD :D
