Grown men do shed a tear from time to time, yeah. So fucking what?

Get over it.

[downplaying]

You're getting a bit defensive there, darling.

[justcrywolf]

... what of it?

[downplaying]

Big emotions, big reactions. That's all.

[justcrywolf]

Yeah, well.

[downplaying]

Don't be shy, don't be shy. Aren't you normally the flamboyant one?

[justcrywolf]

Oh darling. You haven't seen anything.

[downplaying]

And here I thought I'd seen it all. Serves me right, I guess.

[justcrywolf]

I can still surprise you, don't worry. Want to know how?

[downplaying]

Tell me. I'm all ears.

[justcrywolf]

Tonight. Sure, I'll show you.

[downplaying]

Vincent. I'm holding you to that.

[justcrywolf]

Mm. You're pretty hot, you know.

[downplaying]

When I'm throwing punches at your psycho boss? Remind me to do that more often, then.

[lovenotwishes]

You speak as though this isn't a common thing where you're from.

[justcrywolf]

Depends on who you are, I guess.

[lovenotwishes]

There are many men who've reason to cry, both good and bad.

Which is yours?

[justcrywolf]

It's pretty good, if you ask me.

Go by social expectations, though, and the answer might be different.

[lovenotwishes]

Social expectations.

Waste of time bothering about them. If it's good reason, then don't worry about what everyone else thinks.

[justcrywolf]

No, that's a fucking stupid idea. [Sigh.] What's your occupation, Mademoiselle?

[lovenotwishes]

At the moment? Adventurer.

Why is it a stupid idea? Societal pressures keep people from being who they really are. And they make it easier to hurt others - to do cruel things in the name of "helping" them.

[justcrywolf]

Okay. As an 'adventurer', how much do you depend on networking? On having other people around for whatever reason?

[lovenotwishes]

I can't trust most people where I've been. And I can't trust people at home, either. I make my own way. Make deals as they come.

You've a more settled place than I, I take it.

[justcrywolf]

Don't think so. The world is shit all over.

If you give them enough reason, most people can be trusted.

[lovenotwishes]

That's not the experience I've had.

[justcrywolf]

Don't hang around arseholes, then. Your experience will change.
