{FAILED LOCK TO KANAYA} YOU KNOW THINGS ARE GETTING WEIRD WHEN *AZULA* IS MAKING FRIENDSHIP SPEECHES

[bentflame]

First of all, I don't really have any major problems with you. I don't even dislike you, and I meant it when I said that you seemed like you were probably a good friend. But we need to clear something up.

I may not be a good friend or "moirail" or any of those things, but the idea that I'm attempting "pale infidelity" or trying to steal anyone away is completely untrue. You don't need to protect Aradia. If she has a problem with me, she'll tell me herself, and the fact that she hasn't means that she doesn't need to. I don't like Vriska because I want to be her moirail or take her away from anyone. I like her because I know what's going on with her, or at least I think I do. I know what it's like to do things that make people hate you, and to be dismissed no matter what you're saying. I know what it's like to grow up as a fighter, and even though I'm glad I was raised the way I was and I largely don't regret having my father or doing what I did, I know what it's like to not have a choice unless you want to be killed, punished, or banished. I know what it's like to have a parent who would destroy you if you failed them. And I know about a lot of other things that might not apply to her, but may in the future-- being made strong at the expense of everything else, not knowing how most people work, hurting people you like (even by accident or with good intentions), and sometimes even being really lonely.

I don't really care about most people, and I understand even less. But she's like me, and I care about her, and I'll help her out anytime she needs it. She's not my "moirail" and I'm not trying to make her be. She's like a younger sibling or a smaller version of me; I don't know.

Just quit worrying about it; everything's fine.

I'm not calling anyone else my "moirail"; that should be the end of it.

[pandorabox]

That Kanaya girl is pretty pushy, though. Something tells me it won't end there.

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

[pandorabox]

My point proven.

Can you explain this weird 'moirail' thing to me better than Zuly-chan can?

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

[pandorabox]

I called you pushy! You are pushy! I call my girlfriend pushy because she's pushy too.

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

[pandorabox]

It's not charm. It's true.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You know, she might be wrong or hypocritical about some other things, but she's spot-on about you.

[pandorabox]

-- oi.

2/2

[pandorabox]

-- romance?

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

[pandorabox]

I thought you guys considered 'hate' romance.

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

[pandorabox]

Pity-- so. Uh. What's pity romance?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I explained it the way it was explained to me.

[pandorabox]

And I'm asking someone else who knows more about it to explain it better than you.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Hm.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

We'll see.

[WE'VE BEEN ON CIVIL TERMS A LOT LATELY...]

We could probably make a bet on it.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

No.

[pandorabox]

Figured you'd say that.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It's a silly thing to bet about.

[pandorabox]

You think everything is silly.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

No I don't.
