WHAT: Local judge seeks the advice of an impartial forum (Asking for a friend. Who is definitely not him). Please be gentle.
WARNINGS: Some swearing


I have been made aware that this forum format, Am I The ***hole, enables casual conversation efficiently.

I am writing this on behalf of someone I know (who is not related to myself) in the hopes of receiving varied opinions.

Forgive the vulgarity, but the judgements may be any of the following:
  • YTA - You're The ***hole

  • NTA - Not The ***hole

  • NAH - No ***holes Here

  • ESH - Everyone Sucks Here

  • INFO - More Information Needed


AITA for disagreeing with my former brother-in-law?

Edit: It were truly minor disagreements. Maximilian and I have fought before with injury on a magnitude far greater than the conflict I have had with his party during the intervention, and yet I hold no ill will towards him for that encounter.

I (M1500) have a brother Auguste (M3000) who was married to Maximilien (M3500). They separated amicably when I was out of the country, and as I understand, remained good friends.

Maximilien and my family have some history together. By various circumstance, he, along with other acquaintances, have come into possession of some important family heirlooms, the loss of which has caused us great distress. Auguste seems to have looked past this. I have not.

I have recently returned, and have learnt that Auguste had run into some trouble, and Maximilien had planned a sort of 'intervention' to help him. I was of the opinion that Maximilien no longer has any right to interfere with our personal affairs, and I did not trust the people involved in the intervention, either.

I admit, I may have been in the wrong here, because I was not around when Auguste fell into misfortune, and therefore I was not privy to the exact nature of his circumstance. Maximilien also truly cares about Auguste, but I cannot forget the loss of our heirlooms.

During the intervention, I had some minor disagreements with Maximilien and his party. It all worked out in the end, and Auguste has been saved. I am unfortunately still deemed to be in error, but I was merely concerned about my brother. AITA?

I believe you have.

[ whatever will they do with you??? ]

It is not that there is a resemblance to your own situation, father, they are the same.

[Zhongli rubs at the bridge of his nose.]

Then I have made a fool of myself, and not for the first time.

[ yes you have. ]

You have only made a fool of yourself if that knowledge changes your answer.

It does not.

[He sets his phone down.]

I would like for Neuvillette to be in your life.

Do not mend this tear only for my sake, but for yourself as well.

[ he shifts his weight, beads lightly jingling in the breeze. ]

He is as much family to you as he is to me.

He is.

[His gaze softens slightly.]

I hold no ill will toward him, even if we had a... confrontation some weeks ago. Azhdaha would not want us to fight, and I believe that with my whole heart.

I am not the best with words, however, and I fear he is not receptive to mine specifically. The initiative must rest with him. We are all still grieving, so I will give him time.

Good. If there is something that we have plenty of, it is time.

[ despite the fact xiao expression does not shift, he appears notably pleased. those sharp amber eyes softening just a touch. ]

He has others who care for him in the city now, there is more of a chance to mend things now.

[ xiao's gaze moves elsewhere. some part of him still feels strange when broaching the importance of bonds, as though he is unused to it. some part of him is still the lone yaksha who protects liyue from the shadows. ]

Venti is coming to collect you, isn't he?
lapislazily: (◆ so you say)

[Zhongli has never felt like the grudge was his to bear, and that is doubly so after meeting Neuvillette. It was another life, another world, another time. It has nothing to do with the paths they have chosen this time around.]

I think that will make all the difference.

[Neuvillette isn't alone anymore, right? So...]

He is. [Zhongli gets up, and gently pets Xiao's hair while he's up here and can reach.] Will you be all right in the meantime?

[Zhongli has been better about cooking ahead for the week, but of course he's going to worry a little anyway.]
