Hm?

[ he tilts his head, eyes twinkling with curiosity. ]

What do you mean?

[petsthedog]

This is the first time we're meeting, really. You don't know if you'll have a good time or not.

[Committing to another hangout this quick might be a choice u regret !!]

[escardos]

Are you that different from how you were online?

[ flat grins, giving shinjiro a look over, as if trying to spot those differences. ]

If that’s the case, then I’m really curious to find out how.

[petsthedog]

Ain't exactly a barrel of laughs on the network, either.

[He sighs, placing the breaded porkchops on the baking sheet.]

You're real committed to this friendship thing, aren't you.

[He's still...uncomfortable about it.]

Why?

[escardos]

I try to be!

[ flat grins, brightly and innocently. ]

I like people, and I like making friends. [ he tilts his head, observing shinjiro’s movements. ] But if you don’t want to, you’re free to say no. No pressure!

[petsthedog]

[Free to say no, huh. That's a new one, actually.]

I mean, why me? Plenty of friendlier people around.

[And yet, he's not saying no, is he.]

[escardos]

There's unfriendlier ones, too.

[ he nods. ]

I don't have a special reason. I'd ask if that's bad, but I think you're issue is more with the fact that I'm choosing you than anything else, right? That's some pretty bad self-esteem you've got there, but I already saw that from what the Oracle wrote about you.
