... That's a start. [ he says, gently. ] You're strong. And you are persistent, even when you feel empty.
[ better words, or at least, trying to be better words. ]
But there's always a balance to these things. And sometimes, the scale tips too far in either direction. There is nothing wrong with that. It's how being alive works.
And my words are lost on you, for the most part, but I hope that eventually, they won't be. I won't tire of saying them. I like the sound of my own voice.

Yeah, like that's a feasible starting point.

Can you describe yourself to me using any other word than violent?
no subject
this is the hardest homework he's ever been given and that's including the time he stole test answers and it ended up killing everyone he ever loved ]
...unyielding.
...desolate.

...if there's supposed to be a "balance" and I'm out of it, then how am I supposed to fix it?
no subject
Well. You have to decide. Do you want to be unyielding? Do you want to be desolate?
no subject

no subject
Unyielding, obviously unyielding!
no subject
But - that is a path. You don't want to be desolate. So you'll need to do things that counteract it. Have you found someone you want to copy yet?

Marcoh is a fine person to model after. Though I do hope it isn't just because he's strong.

Those can be good traits in moderation.
no subject
but i will give you a gift: he is not actually that bothered by it, which for him is the equivalent of getting huge warm fuzzies ]
I know. Hence why I picked him.
no subject
Yes, but moderation is the most important part of that. [ hums. ] You're doing well. I'm proud of you.
[ he's a little less transparent now, but his fur is turning white in places. ]
no subject
anyway neither he nor i know how to interpret this change. and it doesn't matter bc the words are enough to make him pucker his face ]
Ugh. Don't talk like that. You sound like an uncle. Or worse, a teacher.
