[joshua and fie on a beach, t-a-l-k-i-n-g!

which is to say, since Fie likes to be on the beach and she made the mistake of talking to Joshua once or twice, this is now a pattern. sorry fie i don't make the rules]

Taking a break from lessons with Zuko?

[vipmix]

Oh? How are you even handling the island? It's got quite the handful.

[sylfied]

I go find quiet places until someone else finds me.

[ case in point: Joshua. ]

[vipmix]

Hmmm. I'd almost feel guilty, but I'm not an extrovert.

[<3]

[sylfied]

I don't think you feel guilt.

[ Just saying. Here he is, interrupting a bruised young lady who just wants to rest--!!! ]

But it's true that you're not loud and trying to drag me places.

[vipmix]

Oh, I'm sure I must have felt it... Once upon a time.

[josh, plz don't snark about you not having human emotions.]

Don't worry. I'd never drag you places. That's a lot more effort than ankle-level is worth.

[sylfied]

Aha. So I am still at ankle-level.

[ what a great friendship(???????) ]

[vipmix]

Woops.

[dramatically:]

It's the call-out during trial. It really slowed down our relationship progress.

[sylfied]

No one wants to be flirted with during a murder trial.

[ duh. ]

[vipmix]

I don't remember agreeing it was flirting.

[not that he denied it either...]

[sylfied]

You didn't deny it, either.

[ JUST SAYING. ]

[vipmix]

I didn't see a need to.

[:)]

[sylfied]

Then that's pretty much accepting it in my book.

[ why. why is he like this

why does she have to deal with this ]

[vipmix]

Hee hee... You can take it any way you want. That's just how I've always talked to Neku.

[poor neku]

[sylfied]

Always? You're from the same world?

[vipmix]

... Technically. But we didn't know each other before coming here.

[well, neku didn't, which is what is important to His Narrative, so]

[sylfied]

But you always talk to him like that.

That must've been one interesting first meeting.

[vipmix]

[thinks of twewy week 2 day 1]

It seemed normal enough to me.

[LIES]

[sylfied]

...

What's normal to you?

[vipmix]

Hmmm... Maybe it's a bit different from most. I've always been "special".

[he says it in a weird tone but ok josh]

[sylfied]

"Special", huh?

... By yourself?

[vipmix]

[wtf dont be perspective fie :/]

...For the most part. [he had one coffeeshop owner?? totally counts] That's what "special" usually implies, isn't it?

[sylfied]

[ look, this is how she is ]

Usually. But a lot of the time, "special" also means "lonely".

[ accompanied by an idle hand flap, though, because she's not here to say it's one or the other. ]

[vipmix]

[he hates this?]

You know that from experience?

[he goes right to trying to deflect]

[sylfied]

... I wasn't the only kid raised by a jaeger corps. I saw a few others sometimes.

[ He probably saw her fight Jaffar, so it's not like she really has to hide it. ]

But it's not something a lot of kids deal with. So I didn't say anything when I actually started going to school. Jaegers are vicious, dishonest, dangerous. So they say.

[vipmix]

[motherfucker this is definitely past ankle level. he sighs]

... It's not easy when no one wants to listen, hm? [sharing is 2 hard let him live]
