Next time, remember your "hello" and all the appropriate niceties that go with starting conversations. Forgetting those seems to be a bad habit of yours.
That's fine. If I do research on Nill, will I find out she's a mildly sociopathic control freak with a strange fascination with you, as well, or is she an exception to the general rule?
Common courtesy doesn't change just because it's on paper.
ldskjfkl I just laughed so hard... meeeean, Zexion
If I wanted to psych you out, I would give you a detailed list of the people and all the things I know about them, and much of it would be out of context to change the impression you'll get.
Then again, perhaps I'm just planting the idea in your mind so you can develop suspicions on your own. Maybe so you'll stop cavorting with sociopaths, maybe because I want to see how you cope with stress.
Come on, it's a chance to get inside my room. My area, my personal space, my comfort zone, decorated by me, reflecting all my interests and tastes. And it's an invitation. You're passing it up?
[Is sitting on the floor, flipping through the pages of a book while the water heats. It's a mystery novel, Nancy Drew or some such - an interesting relic of another culture very different from her own. She just leans back and looks up at him.]
Hi.
[Her room is modest-sized. The standard bed has been moved out and there's a futon unrolled instead, with a cat curled up on the comforter; plenty of plants in the window, which has grown broader and acquired a deeper ledge to compensate. There are tomatoes staked up, and pinwheels stuck in some of the pots. The desk has been left alone, and it's stacked with papers and a couple of sketch pads. There's an ink stone, some calligraphy brushes, some pens and some watercolors which have obviously seen use, and also several knives laid out neatly.]
[There are several books around, in various stages of being read, and a simple light microscope, and two swords in a stand by the door. One has an ornately worked gold sheath and one is much simpler.]
[There's a neatly folded paper crane pinned up on the wall, along with several of Doa's paper cranes which actually look like croissants. There's a bell hanging in the window. Tadaharu is curled up in a heap of orange and black and cream fur next to the futon. All in all, it's the room of an energetic, lively girl.]
[he's got his jacket on, as always, and has his hands in his pockets. He looks around for a moment, with a blank look. Not total disinterest, but not much in the way of interest, either. It's like he's seen it before.]

[siiiiigh] Would you prefer me to drop by in person to ask you these things? It seems a little awkward to go through the whole routine on paper.

And I do not know that many sociopathic control freaks.
XDD
Oh?
no subject
Nice to know that the other two characteristics still apply.
Oh is right. Come on, how many do I know? Name them. Name them all.

[going to start whining, soon. Also, are we just assuming they're talking under the filter?]
no subject
You can figure out the rest for yourself.
[sure!]
no subject
Oh, I'm sure. He's quite well-behaved.
Let me guess, Madara is another one.
no subject
Do you think so?
no subject
Why, who were you thinking of?
no subject
I wanted your opinion on the suggestion.

You've certainly made yourself at home here.
no subject
Sit. Want something to eat?
[you creeper, she wouldn't be surprised if you had. >8(]
It's been almost a year since I arrived here. Why wouldn't I?
no subject
No, thank you.
[he glances at her and shrugs]
This place is only temporary. Why bother?
And you've only been here for nine months. Don't exaggerate.
no subject
Nine months is almost a year. It's not an exaggeration.
no subject
It's three quarters of a year.
no subject
And three quarters of a year is almost a year. Are we really debating this?
