Let's talk about hate.

Let's suppose I hate someone very much. I could enact all manner of violence on this person and not be satisfied. I enjoy getting the better of them, and when I don't it drives me to to challenge them even more.

Classic hate.

The problem is that I am sure they think of me as insignificant dust, not worthy of anything close to a relationship. And for probably good reason - in wit and banter I can compete, but otherwise I'm not in a good position compared to them.

Your advice?

I have Diarmuid. They'll let me by with one bucket unless they're really strapped this sweep.

[aquaticrush]

I suppose we're even this time, then.

[unknownrival]

Please let me help you.

[Lock]

[aquaticrush]

If you're sure. I just don't want to cause you trouble. But I know you'll have good luck with the person who's insulting you down in the other thread.

[Lock]

[unknownrival]

Ah, I hope so.

[Lock]

[aquaticrush]

I'm sure you will. You deserve a life with less worries.

[Lock]

[unknownrival]

Thank you. But so do you.

[Lock]

[aquaticrush]

I'll do my best. If you want to help me find somebody, you can, even if it's embarrassing and it takes up your time.

[Lock]

[unknownrival]

I'd like to do that.

[aquaticrush]

Thank you. If it doesn't work, maybe somebody on the community will take me in if I do things for them, so you don't need to worry that much, but... I already owe you so much, and now I owe you even more. So if there's ever anything you want or need, please just say so.

[Lock]

[unknownrival]

I will, I promise.

[Lock]

[aquaticrush]

Thank you so much. I'll do anything I can for you.

[Lock]

[unknownrival]

I know you will. We're definitely infected with this disease called friendship.

[Lock]

[aquaticrush]

Right. I trust you.

*The reason she's been using text while he hasn't is apparent now, as she tugs at her fin ears, things that shouldn't be on someone like her, and tries to hide them under her hair. Odds are, he's the only one she's actually told about any of this.*

It's a little strange to be typing back when I see you talk.

[unknownrival]

I understand your reasons for it, so don't worry about awkwardness.

[Lock]

[aquaticrush]

But we've been speaking under a lock for a while.

[Lock]

[unknownrival]

It still is a hard habit to break, isn't it?

[Lock]

[aquaticrush]

*blush* R-right. Even with someone like you, and I trust you more than anyone else on this planet. I really do.

[Lock]

[unknownrival]

I'm grateful for that. I am.

[Lock]

[aquaticrush]

What's wrong?

[Lock]

[unknownrival]

Nothing much.

[Lock]

[aquaticrush]

Please, tell me. Maybe it's something I can fix.

[Lock]

[unknownrival]

I don't think so.

[Lock]

[aquaticrush]

If it's to do with me, I have to try!

[Lock]

[unknownrival]

It's not to do with you.
