Maybe if you didn't interrogate someone for trying to enjoy your company, you would.

[ Huffs, but settles, ears relaxing again and offering her hand. ]

... but I'm sorry for getting frustrated with you. I thought we were getting on rather well, so I'd like to continue. I would still like to get to know you, despite whatever you may think of me.

Re: glory

...I don't think anything much of you yet.

[That's still kind of insulting, but her tone sounds neutral, and her feathers settle as she reaches for her hand]

And I wasn't interrogating you. I was just curious. Knowing your feelings and motivations is part of getting to know you, isn't it?

Re: glory

[vitainmorte]

That's pretty insulting.

[ it's ok she'll say it for u. but she holds her hand anyway, grip soft, and her tail gives a little wag at the touch. ]

I think that sort of thing is normal, but phrasing it like... "why would you" when someone expresses that so far they're enjoying your company...? It makes it sound like they're an annoyance to you, or something along those lines. At least, that's how it felt.

...Isn't saying I don't know why you'd enjoy my company saying a lot more about what I think about myself than what I think about you...?

Re: glory

[vitainmorte]

In a way, yes, but when the issue is put on me not knowing you...

Well, I'm not going to go around assuming anyone is full of self-loathing or anything without more information. I feel like that's pretty rude...? And I'm no psychiatrist, anyway.

I don't have to hate myself to know that I'm not the kind of person people are immediately drawn to.

Re: glory

[vitainmorte]

Oh, no, of course not. But there's definitely a level of self-depreciation to that sort of thing, I think?

You haven't managed to drive me off so far, though, so probably you should give yourself a bit more credit.

Re: glory

[rollplayinghouse]

I don't know what to give myself credit for if I don't know what I did that was good...

Re: glory

[vitainmorte]

Existing, perhaps?

[ with an amused huff, her tail wagging a bit higher now. ]

It wasn't anything specific, I think. I've just thought I'd like to know you, and nothing I've seen yet has changed my mind.

Re: glory

[rollplayinghouse]

...Well, I still want to know you too.

Re: glory

[vitainmorte]

[ tail!! wagging!!!!! her ears have perked again. ]

Good.

Did you want to do any other bingo squares with me?
