[ first of all i just noticed you gave up and added the character journals to the filter

but that makes him pause, and awkwardly scratch his head. ]

It shouldn't have been a situation where there were "winners" or losers"...

[sophistications]

[Image embedding is a pain on an ipad okok.]

It shouldn't, but people still look at things this way, do they not?

[bakaomi]

I guess...

[ he can't really argue but

he can't even brag about winning considering all of the mixed feelings involved with it. ]

It's just more complicated than that though.

[sophistications]

You mean a gray area where there are some things you can't win or lose in the first place. Or perhaps something else?

[bakaomi]

I dunno. Maybe both?

You call caused my stress.

[ fucking sasuke ]

[sophistications]

Even stress can have some good to it if you know how to grow from it. Keep that in mind.

[bakaomi]

You continue to be a fortune cookie.

[sophistications]

As they say, that's the way the cookie crumbles. [This is not even applicable to the situation oh my god.]

[bakaomi]

[ what ]

... what.

[sophistications]

..it sort of worked in this situation. [Not even a little bit.] Like saying "that's just how things are."

[bakaomi]

It barely works. Shut up.

[sophistications]

Barely still counts!

[bakaomi]

You need to have higher standards!!

[sophistications]

My standards are perfectly fine! They're simply more accepting than yours.

[bakaomi]

Then they're too low! You need to gave more self-respect if this is what you're okay with!!

[sophistications]

I have high standards where it matters. But otherwise I think it's only fair to keep an open mind about other things!

[bakaomi]

You should make your mind less open!!

[sophistications]

What good would that do!? Then we'd have nobody who's open-minded at all!

[bakaomi]

That sounds like someone else's problem.

[sophistications]

[He makes a face.]

I hope you change your mind by the time I see you next. [Maybe they can stop being petty by then. Like, doubt, but maybe.]

[bakaomi]

I should be saying the same thing to you...

[ get a new love interest you punk ]

[sophistications]

[No!!! Okay no he should but shut up!!]

Doesn't that just mean we'll have to see each other again to see the results?

[bakaomi]

... yeah.

Don't think too much of it.

[sophistications]

Only if you won't. [...but there's a smile.] Until then Shishimaru-kun.
