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.

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!
