I think you're absolutely precious. [As for which definition of precious is being used here...]

Besides, if you have enough regulars, they get used to the servers. That's surely how I'm able to get away with it. Some might say it's my charm point.

[fluorite]

Compliment or not, I'll take it! :D

Different people are bound to find different things charming. Some don't enjoy the cute act, while others like someone a little more gruff.

[ Fai is others. ]

[ophidie]

You're a monster. Whatever I say, you're just going to keep doubling down.

Hm... What about types who are scary on the outside, but secretly kind deep down? We aren't all what we seem at first.

[fluorite]

You figured that out fast~

I like those types too. I don't really find anyone scary, so maybe that's why I'm drawn to them.

[ophidie]

What can I say? I've been paying attention.

If people don't scare you, then what would you say does?

[fluorite]

[ She certainly has, and part of him doesn't even know how to feel about it. After all, being known is a terrifying thing. ]

The unknown, perhaps?

[ophidie]

That's a pretty obvious one, but I'll take it. It's hard not to be afraid of what we don't know or see, or what's on the other side of "what if?"

Well, no one likes getting an answer that goes against their hopes, either.

[fluorite]

Would it be obvious if I said that that last part is my worst fear?

[ With as observant as Miharu is, he has a feeling it would be. ]

[ophidie]

A little bit, based on what you've told me.

[Just like she's sure that he knows the "what if" is the worst for her.]

It's not unusual to try and avoid disappointment.

[fluorite]

No, it's not.

However, there's a point where it starts to hinder you. Avoiding a lot of situations to avoid disappointment isn't healthy.

[ophidie]

It's a bit like you don't live at all, after a point. It gets harder and harder to get interested in the things you're missing. [By now she's very adept at having more important things to do and at not being interested.]

What did you miss out on?

i get it... everything happened so much

[fluorite]

Many, many friendships.

[ It's a short message, but he thinks it gets the point across enough. If anything, he thinks someone like Miharu would completely understand. ]
