[Leo makes sense for him. as for her? "Fresh, alive, new and sensual, this is a Taurus with a potential to overcome any obstacle you can imagine."]

Does it count if the last place I went did both at the same time? Not to make this a metaphorical dick measuring contest, those are both useless and stupid.

But I know what it's like to not be myself for a decent length of time, then go back into my right mind and wondering what the fuck I did the previous week and if that's why everyone's looking at me weird. I'd rather go with shunning, too, but we're not always given a choice.

[ Two stubborn astrological rocks colliding. A perfect match. ]

Of course we aren't. Life's challenges are often things we never asked for. The point isn't about what we want, or that yes, it could be worse. The point is that in the end, the past being worse doesn't make the current pain more pleasant to endure.

If your aim is to be comforting or reassuring, you should try simply agreeing that this place... [ He's trying to find a word for it, one that isn't so colloquial, but honestly? Nothing sums it up better than: ] Sucks.

[unphase]

[pretty much. something about an unmovable object and an irresistible force colliding]

I'll gladly admit that. Now the question becomes what to do about it.

[retsuden]

Sometimes there's nothing you can do.

[unphase]

[she shrugs] Sometimes. Maybe even most of the time. But there are things which can be done to alleviate the shitty, even just a little bit.

[retsuden]

[ There's another snort, but this one sounds a little less bitter than the last few. ]

... You sound like someone from home.

[unphase]

[she can see that, but doesn't get overly smiley or perky-looking. handle with care, he needs to be labeled]

...I hope it's a good someone.

[retsuden]

He's a stubborn idiot.

[ That doesn't answer the question, though, and he realizes it. So he lets out a small sigh. ]

But he's not so bad.

[ This is how everyone talks about their closest friend, right??? ]

[unphase]

[no judgement, her expression doesn't falter. she's been called worse. gene-trash, half-breed, a stain on her family's name] My, my!

[and at the rest of what he has to say, her smile grows a teeny bit bigger] "Not so bad." I'll take it.

[..ummmmmmmm. right?]

[retsuden]

[ He's quiet for a second because that's exactly the sort of response Naruto would give, too. Son of a bitch. ]

...

I'll see you in the morning then.

[unphase]

[no being rid of her now?]

I'll look forward to it!
