considering somarium?

[dwindling]

I'm not the persistent one, here. You are. Everything you did with me was a long time ago. You shouldn't dredge it up.

I know you think this will be good motivation, but you're wrong. I'm no good as an exercise. I'm too tired. Go away. We've had this conversation before. It goes nowhere.

For someone claiming not to be persistent, you sure seem keen on staying down, huh Yoite?

[dwindling]

That's different. It's easier. [For everyone involved, he thinks.]

Hello, Yukimi.

[onehandedly]

'Sup, Yoite. You takin' the easy way out now?

[ Daddy Yukimi always worries. ]

[dwindling]

I'm allowed. [TEEN REBELLION] Anyway, it isn't that. It's just that it's useless to deal with something like this. Don't care for the effort. Not in this.

[onehandedly]

[ Wow Yoite such a rebel. ]

You seem to be doin' alright, even with the effort. Doesn't seem useless to me.

[ Just gonna keep pressing you, buddy. ]

[dwindling]

What good do you think it would do? I don't want to go to a place like that and do things. I don't want to talk to anyone there. I don't like any of them.

[onehandedly]

Tch, it's that attitude that's no good, Yoite. You go in thinkin' you don't wanna talk to anybody, then you're just gonna attract those busybody types who're overbearing and spend all their time worryin' about others.

[ Like Thobari. Or Yukimi. ]

Those kinds are hard to like, y'know? I wouldn't blame ya.

[dwindling]

You mean, the type of ridiculous person who doesn't leave well enough alone even when it's in their best interests not to bother? That kind of person, Yukimi?

[Shots fired!]

[onehandedly]

Yeah, that kinda person. [ Oooh he's gonna give you such a noogie, kid. ] God forbid.

[dwindling]

Even so... I don't want to attract anyone like that, but there's no other way to go about it. People should just leave each other alone.

[onehandedly]

That's the thing about people, kid. They hardly ever do what they're 'supposed' to do. 's part of the deal.

[ You included, Yoite. ]

[dwindling]

So you think that I should resign myself to it?

[onehandedly]

People are people. You can't change that. All you can do is learn to deal with it. Maybe it gets better, maybe it won't. Maybe someday you meet somebody who makes it easier. I don't have the answers for this kind of deep shit.

[dwindling]

It's okay that you're not deep, Yukimi. But I don't think I'll change, either.

[onehandedly]

You don't have to change. Hell, I'd be surprised if you didn't complain about stuff like this. You're okay as a whiny brat. [ It's a compliment, really. ]

[dwindling]

...I won't thank you for saying that.

[Which means, Thanks.]

[onehandedly]

Yeah, well I don't expect your thanks, brat!

[ So, you're welcome. ]

[dwindling]

Good.

Then, what are you doing? Anything? You'd fare better than me in a situation like this.

[onehandedly]

I'm kinda just around. Mun's getting into the swing of this mess again, you know how it goes.

My dreams are pretty boring though. Nothin' but cats and stuff I've written articles on. [ Yeah, right. ]

[dwindling]

I know how it goes.

Those sound like good dreams. Since you write about food a lot.

[onehandedly]

[ To be totally honest Yukimi is one of my oldest, strongest muses, it's been so long... ]

Heh, well yeah. Can't spend all my time dwellin' on the past. [ Says the guy with the daddy issues and dark past. ] Though there was that one ramen shop... ugh, I couldn't eat ramen for a month after that.

[dwindling]

[It's the same for me, it seems so weird sometimes. I haven't touched him in so long that it's daunting, but I've missed it. ;_; ]

If you had made more chikuzenni, ramen wouldn't have been a problem. [DAD. GIVE IN TO MY CULINARY DEMANDS.]

[onehandedly]

[ I always go back... Always. It's like riding a bike, I can never forget his awkward dad-ness when there's a Yoite around. ]

Huh? You complainin' about my cooking already? I oughta make you fried rice for a week just for that!
