[ he puts the self-help book back down onto the table. ]

And why can't you?

[ it's a genuine question. ]

[shiftingwinds]

...ahaha... it feels wrong when I do, even when I really dislike someone. [...] Well, there are some exceptions. General Pei is the worst.

...but it's also... easier, in the heavens, if you get along with the other gods. I can argue with General Pei all I want, but it won't go anywhere, because of my brother. He wouldn't retaliate against me.

[dotcom]

That sounds like a lot of crap.

If you can tell someone that you like them, you can tell them that you dislike them.

[shiftingwinds]

Oh, I'm sure I could say it...

...I'd just feel bad about it, after.

[dotcom]

And why would you feel bad after?

[shiftingwinds]

Well, even if it's true, hearing someone say "I don't like you" can hurt, you know? And I don't like hurting other people.

[...]

And I guess - even if I don't like someone, I'd rather try to find a way to get along with them than argue with them, usually. There are some exceptions when someone is just really awful, but most people aren't that bad.

[dotcom]

Hm...

[ he shakes his head. ]

I just don't see the point in pretending to get along with someone you dislike.

[shiftingwinds]

...I mean, sometimes if you get to know them well enough, you'll find things to like about them even if you started out not liking them!

[so. there's that.]

It's not necessarily pretending, just... taking the time to get to know someone. I mean, everyone has their reasons for the things they do, right? [...] I don't know. I think my life might be easier if I could just say whatever I thought without worrying about how people feel about it!

I just think that there should be times where you say fuck it and do what you want.

[ granted, he does that most of the times.

and he understands that their positions are very different, with her being a god. ]

[shiftingwinds]

[...yeah, she's definitely a little jealous that he can do that so easily.]

Ahaha, there are times when I do! ...they're just not as often as they should be, maybe. But it's fine. It's fine! I really do like it when I manage to find something to like about someone I didn't like before.

[dotcom]

[ hm... ]

That's fine, I guess, but you shouldn't have to force it.

You should stop being professional all the time.

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha, maybe next week! ...I don't think I'd be able to tell anyone that I dislike them to their face this week, after all.

[dotcom]

Yeah. Don't remind me.

[ he hates it ]

[shiftingwinds]

Are you looking forward to saying fuck it and doing what you want next week?

[dotcom]

It'll make a lot of things much easier.

[shiftingwinds]

Ahaha... well, if this is the point where you'd normally say "fuck it," just nod once and you can go. I don't mind. I really don't!

[it'd be unkind to force him to stay and talk to her, right? and it's kindness week! so she should offer!


this is why she's so dang bad at envy.]

[dotcom]

... ah.

I really can see why you weren't paired with Envy to begin with.

[shiftingwinds]

People keep saying that!

[SIGHS.]

But it's fine. It's a challenge, but it's not impossible. I just have to keep trying, and then I'll feel even prouder of myself when I pull it off.

[dotcom]

Well, if you manage it, you can just brag to Gluttony later.

[shiftingwinds]

...you're right about that! They told me they wondered if I was going to insist on wasting my time - but I'll prove this isn't a waste at all!

[dotcom]

Mm. When I spoke to them, they mentioned that.

[shiftingwinds]

[


she huffs]

Did they, now.

[dotcom]

Yeah. They said they only agreed to it because they enjoyed your argument.

[shiftingwinds]

[gluttony isn't here right now (probably) so she can say this despite it being kindness week]

How annoying!

[dotcom]

They're always annoying.
