on being a selfish prick

[chaoscontroller]

Nothing lasts forever. You better than anyone else, should know that, human. I simply did what I had to do, it wasn't personal...

... And no, I don't miss her. I have better things to do than missing an irritating, obnoxiously loud pink hedgehog.

[ He totally misses her, in case that's not clear. ]

[ringaroundrose]

A-hem.

[Fortunately, she can translate 'Shadow Speak', so she's resisting the urge to smack him stupid.]

[chaoscontroller]

[ that... was bloody fast... ]

[chaoscontroller]

... What?

[ringaroundrose]

And I certainly didn't miss a grouchy, depressing, overly mean black hedgehog, either.

[chaoscontroller]

[ Aw man... ]

... Good for you.

[ringaroundrose]

You know, things would be a whole lot easier if you were just honest!

[chaoscontroller]

I am being honest!

[ringaroundrose]

Oh please. You have this whole backwards language where you refuse to say how you really feel.

[chaoscontroller]

Hasn't it occurred to you I actually don't want to say how I really feel?

[ringaroundrose]

But that's just it! If you were really honest with everyone, we could understand each other better, and there'd be a lot less arguing.

[chaoscontroller]

No one is arguing...

[ Or is he? Has he finally reached that point he no longer knows what the hell he's even doing? ]

[ringaroundrose]

I meant before! We used to argue all the time!

[And we may be now. who knows.]

[chaoscontroller]

Hmm... I suppose that's another good reason why it's better you no longer are there.

[rising_drive]

[Kain has been "not missing" a person for months and maybe even longer by now, he knows the feeling.]

It's best to keep others at a distance. Always.

[chaoscontroller]

... [ An advice like that, coming from someone like him? He's not sure if he likes it... ]

Hmph... Talking by experience, Highwind?

[rising_drive]

In my experience, it's for the best that way.

[Then no one gets hurt.]

[chaoscontroller]

... Does it get any easier?

[rising_drive]

I'm still waiting for that to happen.

[chaoscontroller]

Hmm...

[ at least he won't have to wait forever... ]

[rising_drive]

I know, it's hardly encouraging.

[But when does Kain ever have anything encouraging to say, after all?]

[chaoscontroller]

That's... quite alright. I will always favor reality over a lie. Thank you, I guess.

[ he can be, in his own way. ]

[rising_drive]

[There's yet another thing they can agree upon, then.]

Of course. I'd never want to avoid reality, however harsh it can be.

[chaoscontroller]

Hmph... I never thought that you from all people would offer me an advice.

[rising_drive]

Well... don't get used to it. I'm not someone whose advice most people ever want to follow.

[chaoscontroller]

I am not as most people.

[ Unless Kain was blind to notice anyway... But somehow this only makes him curious. ]

What makes you so sure about that?
