I have come to the conclusion that Christmas is idiotic.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, peoplesprincess sent to me...
Twelve shia_o_shimas lightningbending
Eleven pinkmoodswings ruling
Ten flamingofudas a-fighting
Nine justin_of_parms commanding
Eight hiddenqueens a-lightning
Seven fuzzyrats a-lying
Six nicecollarbones a-firebending
Five se-e-e-ervants
Four not eclipses
Three giving orders
Two hot baths
...and a manipulation in an astronomy.
Get your own Twelve Days:


In 2009, peoplesprincess resolves to...
Cut down to ten not eclipses a day.
Take evening classes in logic.
Pay for my servants on time.
Tell my family about giving orders.
Go commanding three times a week.
Admit my true feelings to wildest_card.
Get your own New Year's Resolutions:


Fire Nation holidays are much more purposeful- and probably a good deal more enjoyable, too.

You're right. ...sigh. And after all, maybe the world need the wars to understand.

I noticed. Lovely, aren't we? That's the problem, showing emotions not necessary mean that you're weak. But tell that to him, or Rufus.

If you ask me, the control is not to suppress them, but know what emotion show on every situation. Even if that can turn you into a very good damed liar, I know it well.

Don't get me wrong, I was worried for you as well, and I understood Zechs because I really don't like to feel helpless either, but someone needed to be a cold bastard and stop him. That's why I did what I did. If he at least would try to see it like that..

Perhaps they do, I don't know.

Indeed. They're both far more alike then they like to admit. I try to help Zechs to understand that showing emotion isn't weakness, but it's slow going. Now I'll probably have to start training him all over again.

I suppose that's a different way to deal with it. I tend to just go with it, myself. I'm not afraid of my emotions, though I suppose I do like to maintain my dignity. I'm probably more like your way of doing things, I just show it in a different way.

I know you were, Saguru, and honestly I believe Zechs will see it that way, too. I had to be a cold bastard, myself. Sometimes it's the only thing that gets through to him. Anyway, he'll forgive you when he calms down...

So you was the other person who tell him that? I imagined it. He told me that someone else tried to make him understand that before.

Different persons, different ways.

Oh well, I can't do anything more for now.

It'll get sorted out, don't worry.
