"You're so thoughtful, Ren." Mwah. Have a little peck on the cheek from Boyfriend Number Two. "I believe we've all had a difficult day, and due to the lingering distress and frustrations, it simply caused unfortunate hardship and hurt."

He glances at Crow. "You acknowledged your missteps and have made it clear to Magpie that you value him for who he is and don't expect him to change." His attention shifts to Magpie. "And you communicated your frustrations. In the future, we can try to work on them and try to minimize future misunderstandings."

And now, since Magpie asked: "I'd be happy to make tea for all of us, so we can try to settle in. Just let me know what you'd like."

One more peck for Ren before Crow's Shadow rises to his feet.
