Oh, I'm hardly arguing the point. Even the kindest words sound harsh coming from her, and understandably so. It's just jarring, at times.

[He's sensitive. :c]

[divinestrike]

I think it just means you haven't spent enough time with her. I guess I was caught off guard a little in the beginning, but after I realised that she doesn't actually mean anything by it, it doesn't bother me anymore.Try not to let it get to you. You already know you're pretty great.

[netherese]

I'm passable these days, at the very least. I'll continue to make the effort, regardless.

Don't think I've forgotten how this conversation started, however. I'll figure out the nameday issue eventually.

[divinestrike]

No, you won't. You would never want to do anything that might upset me.

[netherese]

[Well, she has him figured out pretty well at this point, doesn't she.]

You're right. I would never, at least not intentionally. It's simply not in my nature.

[divinestrike]

[In truth, it was only a guess on her part. A presumptuous one, at that.]

Aha. Then you should just let me have my way on this one. I can't imagine there will be too many moments in which I'll get to have that.

[netherese]

I suppose that all depends on who you ask. Some of us are less likely to argue with you than others. I can't say I find myself compelled to do so on many occasions, aside from some firm reminders about self-care.

[divinestrike]

I take care of myself plenty. [Probably not true.] That isn't something you need to worry about. But you should let me worry about you. I'd like that very much.

[netherese]

[Almost certainly not true.]

Who am I to argue? I'll allow you to worry to your heart's content. Of course, it's not as though I can stop you.

[That goes both ways, Nepione.]

However, I assure you that I'm just fine at present.

[divinestrike]

Oh, of that, I had no doubt. You're quite self-sufficient. I rarely have a reason to worry about you in the first place.

[Also not true, but one has to admire the attempt made here.]

So when you feel you need someone to worry over you, then I look forward to playing that role. Until then, please continue simply... doing as you do!
