[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!

[tablescraps]

Do you, or are you teasing me?

[dissimulative]

both!
bc it means you progressed a lot further than i thought
youre really goal oriented
but bc of that its hard for you to care about anything else
so it would be an improvement
if you cared about something unrelated to your goals

[ He's been taking notes, Mithrun... ]
