Re: In-person: Misha B/Damian W
He just don't like me. I reckon I best just grow accustomed to some folks not. [Misha, he was thoughtful some as he said that. He was sad 'bout it, sure as could be, and it just felt like more failing not to do well talking to folks, but he was getting tired some of feeling awful 'bout things recently, and he was feeling awful a whole lot more than not. He was starting to ken it was something 'bout Damian's family. These folks, they all drowned themselves in bad feeling, and Misha didn't ken it any. Life was 'bout living, and living was 'bout enjoying, and there was bad stuff that came always, but 'round here it was like drowning in it regular, like it was sought out with hands stretched out, leastways that was how it felt talking to Damian's kin.]
I don't wish to yell. [He smiled some when Damian tipped his head.] I think it's real easy to get caught up in all the bad thinking. I don't need you to change, and you're kind in your own way, and I ain't inclined to change you. I love you, how you are, and changing you would mean you weren't that person no more. I don't want that any. I only want things to change 'bout you that you choose. It ain't 'bout me, Ahuvi.
