I'm sorry if you were embarrassed by the curse the other day. I think some of that stuff is worth a laugh but not much else. The people who know you will know none of it is true.

[Obviously this is the perfect time to do some squats. Don't mind him while he does a few before continuing.]

I guess the city was just trying to get a rise out of you. [He's amused that he wasn't affected by the curse.] They probably knew it wouldn't work on me. I don't mind laughing at myself.

[A few more squats. Can't do enough of them, really.]

What I'm saying is: pick your battles. If you can laugh it off, don't bother with it. If you can't, either ignore it or do something about it.

[His smile turns a little sad.] And seeing as we're in a place where we can't do anything about it, ignoring it is your best option.

[ Look one thing; be another. His motto in life. ]

You really think so?

....Do you have experience as one?

[standing_alone]

I've got some experience. [Are you asking him, Li?]

[mortemscintilla]

[ That would only end disastrously ;; ]

Well.

If I ever, um, find myself in a fix, I'll be sure to ask for your help.

[standing_alone]

[Come on, now...]

I'll wait for your call! [He grins and winks.] Let me know if someone catches your eye. I'm pretty good at gathering intel.

[ Disaster! Death! Doom doomy doom! ]

Ah... [ He reddens and nods, smiling. ] I-I'll keep it in mind. Thank you.

[standing_alone]

[I think you mean awesome, awesome and more awesome.]

You're welcome. Everything will pan out.

[mortemscintilla]

[ Awesomely disastrous doomy deaths, maybe! This is Li we're talking about! ]

I hope so. It's tough being the gawky wallflower at parties. [ Except not really because Li isn't a real person. But. Details. ]

[That would make Zack a sad puppy.]

There's no reason you have to stay that way! [Even if he has to drag him into the middle of the party.]

[mortemscintilla]

[ So many sad puppies in the making of this thread. ]

I'll try to keep that in mind. Maybe read a few self-help books too. [ omg no don't do that! You'd knock the poor boy's larynx offline! D: ]

[Where's the kibble? We need kibble stat!]

It's better to just jump in and do it. I promise this is a lot easier than going to battle.

[mortemscintilla]

[ And doggy treats! 8( ]

I guess you have a point there. [ No, actually. Hei finds battle far easier than healthy human interaction. ]
