[He lets the words wash over him, curling up at the foot of his bed.]

What is the most interesting so far, that you have found?

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

I'm intrigued by the manner through which new things are introduced to our confinement. We aren't under a curfew, and so theoretically we are, collectively, present to notice such things being installed, but things like, say, the snowmen, or those energy drinks nonetheless manage to appear. It isn't as though they can go through the usual shipping channels or anything, either.

Magic, perhaps. Time dilation technology. It would take very advanced means to seal all of our abilities, varied as they are.

[He hums, his breathing slowing.] You have a calming voice.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

I did consider something like that. It is possible, given what you mentioned, that we are simply compelled away from areas being changed, as well.

I'm glad I'm able to help.

[eggshell]

I would not have blamed you if you just ignored me. Thank you.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

You're trying. I will support you how I can, when you are trying.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[eggshell]

You are not the first to do this. You will not be the last. It is useless.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

It is not. Temporary relief is still relief, and time I can spend with you.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[eggshell]

You want to...?

[brain dial up noises]

Huh?

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

...Yes. Yes, I do actually want to spend time with you.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[eggshell]

[petulant toddler voice]

Why?

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

Because I enjoy your company, when it's not harrowing.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[eggshell]

[Dan Feng does not remember the last time anyone has told him that.]

Oh. [There is a long, awkward silence from his end.] I... do not know what to say. To that.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

You don't need to say anything. Or if you figure out what to say, it doesn't have to be right now.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[eggshell]

[What do you Mean he doesn't need to say anything? He's always needed to say something. Always had to counter with an offer or a threat for attention because how else would Jing Yuan look at him.

Bewildered:] All right. Tell me what to do, then.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

Just... talk to me?

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[eggshell]

[He inhales audibly. Then, quiet:]

I don't understand why Jing Yuan is angry at me.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

Which part is confusing?

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[eggshell]

If I hurt him, isn't it enough for him to hurt me back?

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

But he doesn't want to hurt you.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[eggshell]

Why not? An eye for an eye.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

You know how that saying ends. He's kinder than that. He wants to spend time with you too, not harm you, so hurting you in retaliation would be hurting him twice.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[eggshell]

He's too soft. You should hurt him too.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[lifeban]

I've already hurt him more than I want to. No.

Re: Day 10 after cat behavior irt birds

[eggshell]

How have you hurt him?
