[dissimulative]

easy
they think youre suitable
but you argue with them that youre not
so its kinda like
youre telling them that theyre wrong about how they feel

[tablescraps]

Aren't people wrong all the time?

[dissimulative]

[ ... ... ... ]

no
are you gonna fight them and say that theyre wrong

[tablescraps]

No. I don't mind that they could be. Maybe it's wrong for a person to want to drink in excess, but they still want what they want.

I'm not used to being the subject of that kind of desire, is all.

[dissimulative]

of someone wanting you?

[ That's sad, bro................. ]

well whoever they are
i hope they like legs

[tablescraps]

( It's complicated, and Mithrun as he is now doesn't do complicated so much. )

Legs?

[dissimulative]

yeah
great legs
you flash them all the time
so its hard not to notice

[tablescraps]

Not intentionally. The skins I've gotten are just short-cut. Do you like legs?

Also... To clarify, I've only been in one relationship before, but it didn't work out. I fell in love when I was around your age ( how old's Oria, like 10ish? ) and I couldn't stop thinking about her. If there were people interested in me, I probably didn't notice.

( Or didn't recognize their want because he didn't think highly of them, )

[dissimulative]

not me
but i know many people who do
it might as well be a big population
so someones bound to like them at least

[ He's gonna call him out. ]

you were the biggest fake ive ever seen in my life at my age
if anything
you probably didnt even see them as people

[tablescraps]

Probably not. I remember I didn't like you much, either.

[dissimulative]

i think id be more concerned if i was somehow special

[ He feels gross. ]

[tablescraps]

It probably reflects better on you that I didn't like you. Niamh was like me, so we got along. I guess she decided she didn't want to be that way anymore, but the other people I spent time with were similar enough.

( the most miserable social circles on the planet, truly )

[dissimulative]

[ yikes man ]

damn
not even i had to be that miserable among my social circles
and some even wanted to kill me??

[tablescraps]

What made you such a popular target, anyway?

[dissimulative]

getting rid of the competition
dads business is too big
everyone wants to be next billionaire or whatever

[tablescraps]

My parents just undermine competitors gradually over time. Murder feels like something you'd do if you're not wealthy enough to wait.

[dissimulative]

that too i guess
i might not even be here tomorrow
remember me as i lived mithrun

[tablescraps]

Experienced at kissing?

[dissimulative]

is that really the only thing
also if you say that
people are gonna think we kissed

[tablescraps]

I wouldn't mind if they think that.

( The same way he doesn't mind drowning, )

Try not to die, though. Sinclair would probably miss you.

[dissimulative]

and not you????

[tablescraps]

( A long pause before he replies. He has to wade through the swamp of no preference to see if there's a tilt in either direction. )

I think I'd prefer you here than dead.

So, don't die.

[dissimulative]

[ oria can tell that Mithrun thought long and hard for this... he can appreciate the effort at least. ]

but why mention him in particular?

[ He has a bad feeling... the pause only feels like it evidenced it further, but he doubts Sinclair's mental state would affect Mithrun personally.

If so, then why?

Attachment?

He kinda doubts that. ]

[tablescraps]

You're his friend. It's better that he keeps those.

( For no particular reason. Don't worry about it. )

[dissimulative]

but what about meeeeeee
i want mithruns concern too!
