[ Dainsleif gives a pause at this, seeming to sort of ruminate on something. ]

...True.

I once thought that there were some people who would never change, when I was younger. But, it was sometimes unclear to me when they did...which made it seem like it was sudden, when all along it was a gradual process.

It's the kinda thing you notice as you get older, because you've got plenty of time to look back and realize how much things have really changed.

[ Changes as subtle as the shift from late spring to early summer. ]

[hjadningavig]

...For better or worse.

But, ultimately, it's better to be able to notice such things easier, than to live in complete ignorance all one's life.

[ There are still things that take him awhile to take note of, but he likes to think he's gotten better at that. ]

[gardenful]

Yup. You don't wanna be caught off guard by something huge.

[ She shrugs. ]

Even though sometimes that's unavoidable.

[hjadningavig]

...Sometimes it truly is.

[ And if so, it is what it is. ]

At such a time, though, we can only do what we can.

[gardenful]

That's right! Which means we can't be too hard on ourselves either.

[ Much easier said than done, but still. ]

[hjadningavig]

[ ...

When he is a man who is extremely difficult not only when it comes to his enemies sometimes, but the type to lay judgment on himself too. ]

That would be ideal.

[ Which is him basically saying yes, while quietly acknowledging it may be awhile before he can get with the program personally, but it's fine. ]

[gardenful]

Hmmm, would be nice to hear you agreeing, but I'll take it.

[ Close enough! She'll take a win wherever she can. ]

I don't know about you, but I'm hungry. I'll probably stop by the cafe pretty soon.

[hjadningavig]

[ Dainsleif's nature as a difficult person, but still... ]

...

[ ...well, he supposes she means to grab food, since she only has coffee right now. Does he go to grab some food too? He is kind of tempted, except unfortunately he doesn't have an appetite, so he'd be just looking silly, probably; he takes more than a moment to decide this, but he does. ]

...Alright. I will let you go.

I hope you enjoy your food. [ ... ] I also appreciated the talk, Aerith.

[gardenful]

[ me forgetting where they are it's fine we yolo this ]

Me too, you know. I hope I see you around more. Hopefully out of the shadows.

[ Heh. Sorry, she can't help it. But, she grins as she stands to go grab some food, giving him a wave. ]
