I am sure that the young one would only be displeased further if that was not the case - but it is nonetheless my wish that others would extend the same patience with him.
The young one gives an old man such as myself far too much credit. If he were to have as many years as I have to learn and watch, he would be twice as capable.
For all who are said to possess darkness and light in their hearts... I suppose that I have witnessed plenty of that in my time. It is difficult to pass judgment on others, when one sees how many ways history might be able to turn with simple differences in choices.
It's a complicated relationship, is it not? As tempting as it might be to call it black and white, I think the two are far more intermingled than that.

Sol and I are friends.
[ for once it's said pretty confidently. ]
no subject
Is that so?
Then... thank you for that. I'm not sure how many friends he's found here - but more are always welcome.
no subject
[ she smiles, shaking her head. ]
I hope others will be his friend too.
no subject
I hope for the same. He has a very good heart, doesn't he?
I always believe that the young one is trying his best out of all of us.
no subject
[ from what she saw over the weekend. ]
no subject
[but also
yea kind of]
I have asked them to be kind when possible...
no subject
[ if lune is able to
ask that of people... ]

no subject
[ she frowns though. ]
I'll tell them to be nice to him too though. He deserves it.
no subject
Perhaps through our joint efforts, we will be able to earn him a bit more kindness. If nothing else, I would like to try.
no subject
He likes you a lot, you know. He really looks up to you.
no subject
and then a short laugh]

Of that much, I am sure.
no subject
[ she'll finally try some of the tea. ]
Especially in a situation where you feel kind of hopeless.
no subject
[just reflecting on things, with a curious little hum]
Is that not what we owe to all of you?
no subject
[ ... ]
So you're doing okay despite that.
no subject
Or perhaps... something closer to empathy? Have you been in a position similar to ours?
no subject
But... I've had to do a lot of waiting in order to make sure something important was done right. And it gets frustrating.
no subject
Could that be where your patience stems from?
Even so, diligence is also seen as a virtue, is it not?
no subject
[ she takes another sip of the tea. ]
Why do you think you were chosen for this?
no subject
For all who are said to possess darkness and light in their hearts... I suppose that I have witnessed plenty of that in my time. It is difficult to pass judgment on others, when one sees how many ways history might be able to turn with simple differences in choices.
[but that's a pretty lofty topic]
Or perhaps because I am even-tempered?
[lune laughs as their own joke]
no subject
Sol said something similar.
The part about light and darkness, I mean.
no subject

no subject
[ that's one word for it. ]
It's sort of a hot topic back home, too.
no subject
How did it become troublesome?
