on his mun's indecisiveness on selecting a game...

[lackingtact]

...It seems we should have had this talk some time ago. I had assumed that as often as it does so, your weak attention span would have moved on to something new by now. But you seem unusually attached to this idea of placing me somewhere. And I know well enough that telling you I would rather not will not get me the result I would like it to.

So at least, if you would stop spinning in circles and start planning properly, I could prepare myself to make the best of whatever is to come.

...No, I don't care to participate in the selection process. Decide.

And last, but not least - no. I know what that look means and no I do not need anyone to be there with me. [ However, the part he won't say is that it wouldn't be a bad thing. He might even like it. ]

Careful. There's not much to win by giving cheek to your superior.

[lackingtact]

--and yet, there will be nothing left to win if I don't take a firm grasp of the situation while it is still somewhat in my control.

[discontinued]

I think you're imagining more of the control than you're having.

[lackingtact]

...Yes, you're probably correct.

[ Sometimes he really hates it when you start making sense. ]

[discontinued]

I'm always ri - correct. Comes with being in charge.

[lackingtact]

Hmm. That stands to be questioned. However, my job is, without a doubt to make sure that you are always correct.

[discontinued]

...so, about not giving your commander cheek.

[lackingtact]

Hmm. Yes, you did say something to that effect earlier as well.

[discontinued]

That... that just now. That was a hint.

[lackingtact]

Yes of course. I do know how to take a hint.

[discontinued]

And I know how to look after my men. Sometimes. Most of the time.

Relax. About... whatever's happening. You'll do fine.

[lackingtact]

You always did. Still do.

...thank you.

[ilyana]

Umm... I might know of a place you can go to... if you'd like to.

sdlkfj so late, so sorry OTL

[lackingtact]

...very well, I will hear it.

Hey, better late than never ^_^

[ilyana]

Are you familiar with discedo? That's where my mun currently has me... they've also been considering luceti when it opens again.

true :D

[lackingtact]

Hmm... she seems pleased with those options for consideration.

[ilyana]

And... how do you feel about this Soren?

[lackingtact]

[ ...oh right. his feelings... ksdjfhdsfkha ]

It... would not be the worst waste of my time.

[ mun's translation: 'the idea is growing on me. it might not be such a terrible thing...' ]

[ilyana]

Really? Because... I think I'd enjoy seeing you there too. It would be nice to have another person from my world to talk to.

[Seriously... the only person from her world she has to talk to is Leanne, and we all know how hard it is to understand the old tongue.]

[lackingtact]

[ talking to someone for the sake of talking... conversation... wasn't his strong suit either but... ]

...she seems to feel that would be 'good' for me.

[ he might be glaring at his mun, but he doesn't really mean it... ]

[ilyana]

Well, you never really were the type to socialize...

[And randomly she's started eating a croissant. Where she got it? Who knows?]

[lackingtact]

[ and somehow he's not surprised.... ]

Socializing is usually the least of my worries.

[ilyana]

[ She also doesn't seem to feel the need to share it with Soren. Although she might feel a little guilty, if he discovered she's trying to figure out a way to make him feed her. ]

What sort of things do you worry about? ... Now that you're not planning battle strategies for everyone.
