Okay, yeah, this sucks. I'll admit it, okay? I hate that nobody ever wants to... no, y'know what? Forget people not ever wanting to do anything, people don't even hardly know I'm there unless I say something. It blows and I hate it and I'm... lonely. Okay? I said it, are you all happy now?

I'm lonely too.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah? ...Yeah, it... it sucks. People should... people are idiots.

[advancetheplot.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sometimes they are asses.

[greedful-cheat.livejournal.com]

Oh? [Kazari spies someone he could eventually use for nefarious reasons] Then why don't you ask more often?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

'Cause I'm tired of being the one who has to. Wouldn't kill someone else to make an effort for once.

[greedful-cheat.livejournal.com]

Maybe they don't realize they don't have to make such an effort. Or maybe they're the wrong type of friends... ones who don't really appreciate you.

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

Well, no, not happy about you being lonely. Not happy about being lonely, myself. It's a very particular feeling. You know how to go about getting apartments here?

I mean. I expect I'll be at work a bit more often now but I nearly always up for stuff in general. I don't know how helpful that is on the other side of you having said... that, particularly with having also said that having to say it is half the point. But. My point stands not-so-tall regardless.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

I dunno. When I got here, I just moved in with... [He trails off and frowns.] Yeah, I dunno. Sorry.

...You wanna... do stuff? With me?

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

Why not? I mean unless you're secretly a M'shrit'n in disguise you seem like a pretty cool guy. Looking for direwolves and puppies and such with a humble apothecarian such as myself.

You wanna do stuff, I wanna do stuff, I don't see the point in doing different stuff. Might just be me.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Would you like me to come over and make you tea?

[Not that she knows how to use a kettle, yet. But she will try, gdi.]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Silence, for a while. And then,]

...Maybe.

I mean, that'd be... yeah, maybe. Yes.

Action!

[About thirty seconds later and there is a knock on the apartment door. She's learning to be polite and not just appear in people's bedrooms.]

[Quite uncursed, but there's something about this that reminds her of Neville Longbottom, back in the day. So this gentle attempt at cheering up isn't entirely random, never mind that she doesn't actually know the bloke on the other end of this conversation.]

You know, usually it's the quiet ones that surprise everyone else. In my experience they tend to be loads more brilliant than they let on.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

...Yeah? You... Y'think so?

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. I've a friend back home who can relate, I think; loads of people sort of took him for granted, and even when he spoke up, most just laughed. [She pauses, then states delicately,] Gits. But when things got hard, he stepped up, became something of a hero.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

So we've done the killing zombies thing and the karaoke thing. What thing would make you feel better this time?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey, it's that girl he likes. He should try not to be a jerk to her, despite the bad mood.]

Uhmm... I...

Dunno.

[Well. It was an attempt.]

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

I can bring over bourbon and chocolate ice cream. We'll make shakes.

Jeeez, humans are so whiny! Let's go do something then!

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Do what? I mean, I'm not whiny! [He is.] Do what?

[4llth3just1c3.livejournal.com]

[She's laughing.]

You are totally whiny! And whatever you want. I don't caaare!

[antimonycarver.livejournal.com]

Neil, I am sorry that you are feeling so down. I think that you are... _{[compliments! annie is not so super with these.]} a very good friend, and are someone who I am very thankful to know.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

That's... whoa, hey.

[Neil softens distinctly from the tone of the original message.]

Thanks. When I said that stuff, I didn't... 'Course, none of that was even...

I mean, you're, y'know, one of the good ones. I'm thankful, too, and stuff.

[waitedforyears.livejournal.com]

Hey.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Oh. Neil's kind of embarrassed now that she had to hear all of that.]

Uhmm. Hey.
