[You are greeted with the sound of randomly disrupted static, at the end of which three melodic beeping signals are heard. Yep, that's your cue to leave a message!]
Accomplice: Thank you. I will do the same. Accomplice: I think part of it was that I was somewhat misled by my interactions with others. Accomplice: Since... well, you've told me to be less polite. And that Alexander helped you get over your dislike of physical contact by ignoring your discomfort. And Alexander himself tried to nudge me into making Sunny upset for the sake of his personal development, as he put it. Vergil and Jason have both told me to stop worrying about their feelings so much. Accomplice: And bluntness often seems to be both detested and prized as a trait here, perhaps because so many need to be forced to open up? Accomplice: So I misjudged how I should act with you. Accomplice: This is something I really don't understand. The attitude towards bluntness, I mean.
Valour 5: You just ended up ignoring me on my biggest "don't touch" button. Valour 5: Physical touch was and still is something I'm not used to but I did long for. Alexander ignoring my discomfort allowed me to get used to it. Valour 5: But you on the other hand went and poked a hornet's nest Valour 5: There's nuance to where and when you can push things and with whom. You cannot assume it's always appropriate to be blunt and pushy because some people responded positively to that Valour 5: Even I am not always blunt despite what I say Valour 5: You can try and then if someone doesn't go apeshit on you then it's fine Valour 5: If they go apeshit on you it's likely not fine
Accomplice: I see... Accomplice: Thank you for explaining. I'll keep it in mind. Accomplice: Though I think I'm all blunted out for the foreseeable future, anyway. Accomplice: I'm sorry for hurting you and ignoring your discomfort, too.
Accomplice: Well Accomplice: Now that I understand better I think I can actually say that I won't do it again. Accomplice: And I'll know to respect your boundaries.
