[ I'm sorry. Brace for incoming ridiculousness. Some of you might recognize the young woman sitting in frame, though there are definitely some new features, namely the addition of a pair of golden dragon wings tucked to her back and just barely visible in frame, but also there's some matching scales growing alongside the back of her arm and hand whenever her hand pops into the frame to gesticulate. ]

HEY, Lunatia. So stop me if you've heard this one before.

[ There is no way that they've heard this specific one before Rapunze-- okay never mind go off.

Yep. Yep. She's in rare form today, for anyone who's never seen her worked up, which. Y'know. At this point of her stay is like. All but two people. There are about fifteen better ways she could have done this, but right now she's all up in these Sanguis-Dragon Day One feels and it's making her even more daring than usual. And also a little impatient. ]

You've been shopping for a new place to live with a friend from home, something for just the two of you! You've been looking for a few weeks. There are a LOT of really great places to live here in the city, especially here on level two, right? And YEAH, it's true you've only lived in one place and with one person for most of your stay. So of course it's going to take some time for you to adjust, but don't you think that you'd still know yourself well enough to know when you've found the right place and were ready to commit to signing a lease? But no matter how many times you tell them that, your friend just keeps asking if you're sure the whole time, and that's very SWEET, but it's like they think you don't know yourself well enough to be sure that you're sure that you know what you know!

[ Uh. She's getting pretty worked up, her eyes might be taking on a bit of a feral glint. Is this really about an apartm-- ]

So what's a NICE way to tell your friend that they're overthinking it too much, and they should just cosign the stupid lease with you already so you can get on with being happy in your new place together?!

Sometimes, the nicest way you can say something is to be as direct and to the point as possible.

If he knows you well enough, he should realize that if you're this frustrated, that it's important to you.

[worthit]

So... you think if he isn't getting it, I should just be more direct?

[Doubling down is honestly pretty easy right now, because even with those brief moments of clarity between the red haze of the Sanguis moon there's still some genuine frustration here.

If only this were actually just about an apartment. BUT HEY the advice still applies. It's just going to have very different results.]

[triggerhappytraitor]

Yeah. For some of us, that's really the only way we actually realize what's being said.

[[There's definitely a touch of mild chagrin in his expression with that admittance. Because he has very definitely been the dense as a brick one in that sort of scenario.]]

[worthit]

That's fair.

[There's a frustrated groan on her side, and she tugs at some of her hair with both hands.]

I'm glad for all the advice people are offering, but I wish I hadn't made this post. I feel like such a jerk, and an idiot.

[triggerhappytraitor]

If it helps you solve the problem, it's a small price to pay, isn't it?

[worthit]

Not if he sees this and gets upset. The last thing I want to do is hurt him...

[triggerhappytraitor]

If you kept being frustrated at him, things might have gotten worse. Better he see this than for you to have gotten upset enough to yell at him, right?
