I think he'd be rather endeared to hear it, if you haven't told him so already.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[ !!! :D ]

You really think so? Then perhaps I should.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

I think he would find you being... greedy for attention, perhaps, quite charming.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[Oh no he can't help smiling giddily at that. There's no fixing his bad taste.]

Well, it's true that he does seem to enjoy attention, too... But nevertheless is surprised each time I mention I like him, or missed him, or anything of the sort. I know why, of course, but it's still quite cute.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

He's quite a cute man. As are you. Do not hesitate to express what you want, I think he'll enjoy that more than any reserve.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[Oho, praise time.]

Am I cute?

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Of course.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Do elaborate!

[He leans back, sipping his tea smugly.]

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Of course you wish for praise.

Well, does not your number of friends speak for itself?

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Everyone likes to be praised, don't they?

I'll agree I have many friends indeed, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm cute. Besides, there are people who dislike me or that I don't get along with.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

That is true of anyone. It is impossible to please or befriend everyone while still being yourself. But you know, being able to charm so many without artifice speaks well.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

I suppose it's true that I'm quite charming by nature!

[He smiles.]

But jokes aside, I do indeed feel grateful to have so many friends here.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

A joke? Do you not truly think you are charming by nature?

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[He hums.]

It's not that I disagree, it's just that I don't see it as a particularly outstanding trait of mine.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

And what traits if yours do you find outstanding yourself?

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

My sense of humour? I'm very funny.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Is that all?

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Nothing that I would call outstanding, perhaps.

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

And why is that? You have great qualities. Is it that difficult to see them for yourself?

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[He chuckles.]

I'm not certain. Perhaps it's simply that I've never dwelt on such things?

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

It is one thing not to preen like a peacock but it is another to think yourself unremarkable in areas in which you shine.

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

Where do I shine, then?

1/2

[temperedinpride]

Aside from your wit, intellect, academic achievements and the qualities that qualified you not only to a seat at the Convication, but to head our most important Bureau?

Re: 349idk

[temperedinpride]

Let me see. How about your compassion? Your desire to understand? Your gentle nature? Your kindness? The love in your heart that seeks always to include more within it?

Re: 349idk

[weenwoon]

[WOW... GAY... He does look a little flustered at all that.]

...Goodness. You'll make me blush.

[He stares at his cup for a while, thinking.]

...Perhaps I do not see those things as particularly outstanding because I expect them of myself. They feel natural.
