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

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.

[dissimulative]

riches are always built on sacrifices
even if theyre not your own
but im sure you know that already
even if my dad tries to minimize it
it still happens
but yeah
i know
people make assumptions all the time
i do it too
we all do
honestly though
aria is probably the one with the least amount of worries despite being the oldest

[fluorite]

And yet those who grow up without the resources that riches can provide still feel like the sacrifices are less or worth it for those riches.

And yes, she probably is. That's the impression I get, at least.

[dissimulative]

im sure aria has her own worries
but i have mine too
siiiiiigh
well anyway
thats the problem i have with yael
but you choose who you wanna date
and thats none of my business
SO!!
thanks for listening

[fluorite]

Of course. :)

I would fully explain his perspective if I could, but that's best from him anyway.

[ If he would even give it. ]

Don't worry, though. I'm not offended that you have a problem with him. :D

[dissimulative]

so he has a personal reason for being an asshole huh
i should have figured

[fluorite]

hahaha

[ That actually gets him to laugh out lot, thanks Oria. ]

Yes, he has personal reasons for it. Can't say he wouldn't be one without them, though. I think he's just hardwired to be one.

[dissimulative]

hardwired to an asshole
is he your type.........................
are assholes your type.........................

[fluorite]

I'm afraid so! :D My first boyfriend doomed me to this type forever, I think.

[dissimulative]

i think that would require a careful selection
otherwise you wouldnt have a good relationship

[fluorite]

It does. I'll never accept poor treatment. :)

But I like men who tend to be a little crude in their words in general. It's refreshing to me.

[dissimulative]

are you tired of people being nice to you?
i dont quite get it

[fluorite]

I like directness.

My first boyfriend never minced his words and always told me his thoughts. I fell for him hard enough that I guess it's a quality I like to see in general now.

[dissimulative]

i dont think being an asshole is the same thing as being straightforward
