Attitude?

Re: a quiet afternoon

[upmoving]

This place is fragile. How you react to it matters.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[restorefromsave]

I see.

[Hmm.]

I'm not very good, at reacting nicely. But I don't dislike it.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[upmoving]

That's kind enough, considering. I wouldn't blame you if you hated it.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[restorefromsave]

This kind of thing isn't what I hate. [He pauses and then reaches over to pat Ariel's head.] You seem sad and lost.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[upmoving]

[oh no headpats what does he do] That's-- Ah, well, not untrue I suppose?

Re: a quiet afternoon

[restorefromsave]

[Accept the headpats obviously.] If it helps, I've found sheer, bloodyminded stubbornness to be useful most of the time, even if things seem bad.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[upmoving]

...I am good at being stubborn...

Re: a quiet afternoon

[restorefromsave]

You should use that as a strength then.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[upmoving]

I'll do my best.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[restorefromsave]

[Pat pat.] Good. When everything else is confusing or grim being stubborn can be handy. And satisfying.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[upmoving]

[He's patted and it makes him blush, and generally look like the small cute and relatively shy thing he is.] Thank you for your advice.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[restorefromsave]

...You're... Not so bad, this way.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[upmoving]

...I'm glad you think so.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[restorefromsave]

I think I may have made a mess of your other half.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[upmoving]

What did you do?

Re: a quiet afternoon

[restorefromsave]

I lit some of the aspects on fire.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[upmoving]

Oh my.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[restorefromsave]

...Yes. Indeed.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[upmoving]

Well, considering the owner, it may have been a reasonable reaction.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[restorefromsave]

I don't think lighting someone on fire could be called reasonable.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[upmoving]

Maybe not. But I don't have a lot of sympathy for him. [He does actually feel a bit bad. But he's not about to defend his other self, especially to someone who was hurt by him.]

Re: a quiet afternoon

[restorefromsave]

I don't either. [That's why. He lit him on fire.] Anyway, I hope it helps you.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[upmoving]

I'll thank you if it does. I'm sorry, again, for the circumstances.

Re: a quiet afternoon

[restorefromsave]

[He shrugs.] I got my payback. I just hope it sticks. In any case, should I stay with you or keep walking?
