On shameless enabling (...or not).

[nagyka]

The likelihood that my presence being what makes others want to join is slim at best. I'm not exactly Selphie, you know. [ That girl can get people to join the Garden Festival even when they walk away saying "no." Maybe it's time to take some tips from her? ]

Still, I appreciate the effort. Just remember that if someone is interested to not push too much. It's inconsiderate and tactless. On the other hand, try not to sound disinterested, either. There's a fine line that separates the two.

[ But wait! One more thing before she leaves! ] And thank you for not humiliating me. Yet.

Coming here.

[ he doesn't. He's just moody. ]

[nagyka]

...you can leave if you want. I'm not going to stop you.

[ She really doesn't want to chance Talk to a Wall 2: Electric Boogaloo. 8( ]

[innermonologues]

.... I'm not leaving.

[nagyka]

Lonely?

[innermonologues]

Shut up.

[nagyka]

It was an honest question. I'm not always attacking you, you know.

[innermonologues]

It's just ... nice to talk to someone who doesn't hate my existence right now.

[nagyka]

...Seifer, you mean?

[innermonologues]

The few people... I actually managed to ... you know. [ Be friends with ] I'm single handedly ruining everything because of this virus.

[nagyka]

If you explain it to them later, they won't understand?

[innermonologues]

Some might some I'll still have to... do something I don't know.

[nagyka]

Let them know that you understand that it might take time, but you're willing to wait it out. Let them know that they're important to you. And apologize, even though it isn't technically your fault.

[innermonologues]

....... Do you think that will work?

[nagyka]

It might take time.

If it doesn't work in the long run, then they weren't worth it to begin with.

...for the record, I'd forgive you.

[innermonologues]

Even if I reverted back to my "disc one" ways whatever that means with an added Seifer's temper times a hundred?

[nagyka]

I would.

[ Honestly, she'd have taken that temper over the way he rejected her any day. ]

[innermonologues]

At least someone would then...

[nagyka]

I'm sure Sir Laguna will.

[ Er. ]

Mister Loire, I mean.

[innermonologues]

He's fine. I haven't completely lashed out at him. He thinks it's teenage hormones or something.

[nagyka]

Then start there. You might not be able to win everyone over, but don't give up just because things don't go your way.

[ She didn't give up on Squall, after all. Well, she gave up on him romantically. But she still worked the friend angle. He can do it, she has complete faith in him. ]

[innermonologues]

I'm not going to apologize to Laguna.

[nagyka]

If you've done anything untoward to him during this time, you should apologize.

[innermonologues]

I haven't yet.

[nagyka]

Then perhaps you should look to him for advice when this is all over and done with.

[innermonologues]

Why?
