[fluorite]

Oria, please.

He shines brighter in the spots that you don't. For example, in his listening skills.

[dissimulative]

BUT I LISTEN!!!!!!!!

[fluorite]

hahaha

[dissimulative]

oh my god
im slighted to the level of a teenager with a crush whose crush has left me on read for days

[fluorite]

You're so silly.

Let me put it in plainer words for you: you found a good match.

[dissimulative]

thanks
but that still doesnt answer why you dont think i listen!!

[fluorite]

You've cut our conversations short when they get too serious for you. That's why.

[dissimulative]

thats just called avoiding the topic
not "not listening"

[fluorite]

I'm counting it under the "not listening" umbrella.

[dissimulative]

but we have topics we dont like talking about
thats normal
isnt it??

[fluorite]

It is. :)

By the way...

I hope you don't get Vogel caught up in too many of your antics.

[dissimulative]

im asking seriously
but which antics

[fluorite]

Nosing around in other people's business.

[ You know, like he did with Fai and Yael. ]

[dissimulative]

[ ................................................ ]

no promises
but i will ask next time
before i escalate the situation

[fluorite]

In hindsight, it's actually pretty funny.

[dissimulative]

i guess.....................
but i probably made you spill some uncomfortable stuff too
sorry

[fluorite]

It's alright. I shouldn't have tried to deceive you, and it's stuff that Yael should already know now anyway. He just happened to learn earlier.

[dissimulative]

youre really serious about him huh
i dont think i can handle being around him......
happy for you though

[fluorite]

Was he mean to you?

[dissimulative]

i can handle a bit of mean stuff
i wouldnt have survived if i didnt have thick skin

[ All the rumors and stuff. ]

i just think our personalities are incompatible
i realized this the other day
but its bc he reminds me of the businesspeople that i really dont like

[fluorite]

[ Honestly, he can see the two of them simply being incompatible. ]

How so?

[dissimulative]

he assumes a lot
people normally assume a lot
but he does it in a way that makes me mad
and i dont mean like childish tantrums either
like... actually mad
im not sure how to describe it WELL
but it feels like the condescending businessmen trying to get a rise out of me
bc they wont take me seriously
and im trying to avoid feeling all that while i play a game
away from all that business stuff yknow?
i dont need to feel like that both in and out of the game

[fluorite]

I understand.

You're right, though. He does it to get a rise out of people, though I'm not sure what the reason is.

[ And while Fai has his theories, he isn't about to psychoanalyze Yael with Oria. ]

[dissimulative]

i get wanting a reaction out of people
i do it too
a lot even
but that seems excessive
and i dont feel like he was doing it to get a reaction out of me
like how i should be grateful
bc some people are suffering more than i am
its such a "finish your food. there are children starving in africa" sort of mindset
and that i cant complain about even the littlest of things?
even after i explained that i cant do that at home
so i wanted to at least have a bit of that in the game

[fluorite]

[ Ah... ]

You were simply talking past one another. It happens.

[ But he'll expand on that: ]

You know your life hasn't been easy, Oria, but to someone from the outside it appears to be that way. I was jealous the first time I went to your house. I thought that you and your siblings must've grown up with an easy life with no worries, because you had so much money you didn't even need to think about working in your entire life.

Of course, that was wrong.

It doesn't excuse anyone making those assumptions, but they still get made.
