[checking]

Excellent first try. It's an uncomplicated job, nothing extraordinary. But you didn't mess up either.

[softlyfalling]

Ah! Good. If you're really sure.

I guess it really takes a lot of work to get really confident with all of it, especially doing your own.

[liarliarliar]

Mmm!

Honestly, I learned just so I could like. Cover a bruise if I needed or keeping the bags under my eyes from being visible.... Less for looking pretty and more just hiding things...

[softlyfalling]

...ah, I suppose it does have that practical use. After all, who isn't tired, here.

[liarliarliar]

[mumbles something grumpily]

[softlyfalling]

...hm?

[liarliarliar]

Nothing. Being a brat.

[softlyfalling]

Hmmm. Someone you don't like?

[liarliarliar]

Yeahhhh. I'm not a pure sweet boy....

[softlyfalling]

You don't have to get along with everyone.

[ let's just ignore how she's meanwhile desperately trying to get someone who hates her to like her— ]

[liarliarliar]

...I know...

[softlyfalling]

I'm just bad at holding grudges, personally, but I think that's probably a flaw of mine.

[liarliarliar]

Seems helpful to me.

[softlyfalling]

You'd be surprised. It turns out having no opinions and wanting to like everyone is a great way to end up trusting the wrong people.

[liarliarliar]

Hnn...for me, kindness isn't the same as trusting....

[softlyfalling]

Probably a much better way to go about it, then.

[liarliarliar]

Trust is a special thing...

[softlyfalling]

Mm. It should be, I think.

I think kindness to everyone is good, but still, if you don’t like someone, I won’t begrudge you that. Although if it was me I’d be a little sad.

[liarliarliar]

It's not Shrike. Even if you're an adult you're pretty good.

[softlyfalling]

I do try and be a proper adult.

[liarliarliar]

Proper adult...

[softlyfalling]

Is that strange to say?

[liarliarliar]

No. But I wonder what that means I guess....

[softlyfalling]

Mm... I guess I know a lot of the young people here want to be treated as being capable and responsible as they are, but I don't want to shirk my own duty.

[liarliarliar]

I guess the I'm Not a Baby crowd does make it difficult...
