Look, when it comes right down to it, you really need to decide if you actually want to play me or if you just want to give me a happy ending. (With Trism or whomever else.)

I'm perfectly fine without one, you know. Some of us just weren't born to them.

Your mun also?

[Perk up, she's actually paying attention to you for once.]

[son_ofa_witch]

[He's not so sure that's a good thing...]

Is it a common problem?

[elphabathropp]

Unfortunately. Though, if you ask me, it is better to be ignored than should they pay attention to you.

[It's not a bad thing. Which isn't the same as saying it's good.]

[son_ofa_witch]

So far I'm leaning toward wanting to be ignored.

[Not that he'd mind a happy ending. It just doesn't seem terribly likely.]

[elphabathropp]

Well, you should be quite used to it by this point.

[Meaning she does know he's around and she chooses to ignore him. After all, it builds character.]

It's usually for the best. I've been watching those who get attention paid to them... It isn't pretty.

[son_ofa_witch]

Yes, I really am.

[Meaning he still hasn't forgiven her for that, and isn't likely to any time soon.]

I've seen a bit of that as well.

[elphabathropp]

Then what, dear boy, are you complaining about?

[Because if he knows as much as he says he does, he should be happy.]

[son_ofa_witch]

[He thinks about that for a while, not sure he can put it into words.] It's the back and forth. If she'd make up her mind on it, I'd be all right.

[elphabathropp]

Be careful what you wish for...

[You might not be wishing for what you think you are. Elphie learned the hard way.]
