...Mm. I do know that.

[she settles a hand on his chest as she's silent for a moment, curling fingers into his shirt slightly]

What if... I don't figure it out? What if it's something—totally unfamiliar, that I'd never think to ask for? And you think it's not something I want, because it's something most people wouldn't have a problem asking for... and we just... miss it, because I can't...

[strokes her cheek, soothing]

We'll figure it out. If it's something eating you up inside and you can't stand it, I'll do everything I can. And I won't be alone--you have people who would move the Heavens and the Hells for you.

[rollplayinghouse]

I can stand it. But I can stand... almost anything, probably.

[selfpreservationist]

You don't always have to.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I know. I'm not used to that either, I guess. Or to... having people who will do things for me.

[selfpreservationist]

You should start thinking about it more often. You'll have to get used to it eventually.

[rollplayinghouse]

...I try to. It's hard to remember when it's most important.

And I don't know how to... balance it. It's easier to not expect anything from anyone than end up upset when something you expected isn't there.

[selfpreservationist]

Better to not get your hopes up. Yes... I understand that.

[rollplayinghouse]

Mm. So I get used to just... not even considering it.

[selfpreservationist]

Perhaps it's time to step out of your comfort zone.

[rollplayinghouse]

It's not like I haven't been trying.

[selfpreservationist]

I know. I don't mean to discourage you. I... believe you'll make it.

[rollplayinghouse]

...It's also not like I haven't hoped for things, before. But, I tend to... go from zero to a hundred on it, like most things, I guess.

A trait you share with the rest of this family.

[rollplayinghouse]

Ha. That's true.

[rests her head against his shoulder again]

At least I'm a little better at identifying my feelings than Dante or Vergil.

[selfpreservationist]

Bless your good sense.

I'm not sure it counts as good when the bar is so low.
