And if I got close to a dog I'd be nervous about messing up somehow. I'm nervous around my partner's rabbits and they're the smallest, most adorable things in existence. I think it's normal to be nervous when things are new.

But if you mean uncomfortable, then it's easy enough to avoid the stables.

[gemuinemanagement]

Just nervous
I think I'll go with someone who's good with animals, maybe

[sangreine]

[ laughing a bit ] Ouch!

But, fair enough. Tsukasa is really good with horses, so he's probably a good person to ask. Just be aware that he might get, um....

[ she likes the kid so is trying to find a nice way to say 'holier than thou know it all' ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Robin tilts his head. He's not sure what she's getting at?]

[sangreine]

He's a good kid, he just likes to give inspirational speeches. Which can feel a little like pressure to do what he wants. I know it's from a place of caring and all.

[ Which she very much does, but she's still avoiding Kasa until further notice. THe last thing she needs is people who make her feel volatile when she's finally beginning to settle. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

Ah
I did notice that when he tried to get me to take points from the unit's point bank for my abilities

[Which of course Robin refused to do, because you can't just give him things, he doesn't deserve that.]

[sangreine]

He does tend to come right out with it.

And to be entirely fair, if he probably wouldn't find it beneath him to speak ill of a woman he'd tell you that I'm hot-tempered, determined to wallow in my own self-pity, and don't know what's best for myself. He'd have some fair points.

[gemuinemanagement]

That'd be mean to say though

[sangreine]

I don't think he'd put it like that. He'd use much longer and more formal sentences.

But avoiding something out of politeness wouldn't make it any less true, unfortunately.

[gemuinemanagement]

Well
I don't know what to say about that
But even if you're all those things, you've been very kind to me

[sangreine]

It makes me happy to hear that. You're very easy to get along with.

[gemuinemanagement]

Are you sure

[why has he usually been hated if he's not an Inherently Bad Person]

[sangreine]

I think so. And as you now know, I can be challenging, so it's not something I can say about just anyone.

[ Not even touching the obvious low self esteem here. She's learned a few things dealing with Causality, it probably won't do any good. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

I don't think it's really that bad to get mad about things
Sometimes that just means you care a lot

[sangreine]

[ It takes her a second to respond because that cuts to the core of things more than he might have intended. ]

Mm, sometimes it does mean that. And thank you for saying so.

[gemuinemanagement]

Don't worry about it
I'm the same way sometimes

[sangreine]

Are you? I suppose we all have some things which are that important to us.

[gemuinemanagement]

I get mad a lot
Especially when people don't listen
And do things that put them in danger

[He's definitely the 'angry because worried' type.]

[sangreine]

Ah, I see. That's understandable, I think.

[gemuinemanagement]

So I can't really judge you about getting mad either

[sangreine]

I'm not usually mad over so noble a purpose, but thank you all the same.

[gemuinemanagement]

What do you get mad about

[sangreine]

I'm not always great about taking advice, but I can do it when it's coming from someone who cares about me and is trying to help because they want to see me happy or whatever. What I get mad about most often is when people start talking about my life when they either don't know enough about me to be saying anything, or when I feel like it's more about them than about me. Like they're just trying to be right rather than support me.

Or when they compare my situation to other vampires they've known and say it's all the same, that upsets me too.

[gemuinemanagement]

I'd get mad about those things too
People shouldn't give advice when they don't know the situation
Or be vampire racist

[sangreine]

Yeah. But I'm trying to remember that they mean well even so, it really doesn't do anyone any good to argue.

Easy to say when I'm in a calm discussion instead of a heated one, I know.
