[explaining]

[Luceti could probably use a distraction right about now. Shift experiments have a way of killing the mood.]

Okay I'm in a rut. I'm looking up vampire facts for...things, and I'm running into a lot of conflicting data. Anybody out there want to share what they know?

[This is, naturally, also an invitation to vampires to share without outright doing a vampire all-call. Guy remembers quite a few night-walkers wanting to keep their identities as secret as possible, going as far as to pick up their blood from the back door of the bar.]

...and the nature of marital affairs, but I'll understand if that's a difficult subject for some. Don't feel obligated to share.



Oh, and I did some research on writing a love letter, May! Looks like sincerity is the way to go. Don't try to impress him with being someone you're not, and don't try to write it to make it sound like it's poetry or anything. Being honest is the key.

[He didn't really research it okay, he just made that shit up from his own preferences.]

[mikangirl]

You know, you're not the first person to ask me that this fortnight. Jewellery works.

[explaining]

Hm. Obviously I'll have to keep that in mind.

[mikangirl]

See, I much prefer your answer over the other guy's.

[explaining]

Really? What'd he say about it?

[mikangirl]

I am apparently one of 'those sorts' of women. [She flutters a hand to her forehead. Clearly she's very put out by this.] Alas.

[explaining]

Oh come on-

[Guy sighs.]

Whatever. His loss.

[mikangirl]

[There's some quiet laughter.] See what I mean? You know how to make a girl feel appreciated.

[explaining]

Well, it's not like I'm actively trying to. You're my friend, Nami. Some idiot doesn't get to think poorly of you just because you know what you like and what you want.

[mikangirl]

It's okay, he can think what he likes. It's his loss. [But she appreciates the sentiment, you charming man, you.] I've been called far worse. Generally, I take it as a compliment.

[explaining]

Hey, you ever want an actual compliment, I'd be happy to give one to you. There's plenty of material for me to work with.

[mikangirl]

Well, who am I to turn down an offer like that? Shower me in compliments, by all means.

[explaining]

In public like this? I wouldn't want to embarrass you.

[mikangirl]

Didn't stop you last time.

[explaining]

Hmmm...

Well, then, in that case...I'd have to say my favorite thing about you is your confidence.

[mikangirl]

There now, see. You're already worlds above most men I know.

[explaining]

Hey, c'mon.

Honestly, if the answers you get from most guys are more shallow than that, then they're probably just trying to show off. I'm sure if you asked your male friends what they honestly like about you, they'd be just as sincere.

[mikangirl]

Haha, admittedly I'm not being fair. [But she appreciates that tack nonetheless, so have a wide smile.] I have a lot of good male friends. I guess I'm just thinking of the people who don't know me better. And really, they don't count.

[explaining]

[Guy is unreasonably nice to just about everybody, Nami, don't take it personally.]

Of course they don't count. They're idiots.

[mikangirl]

Exactly.

[She knows, but that doesn't make her appreciate it less. But she'll leave him to his other conversations now, given there are... so many people chiming in. Nothing changes. |D]
