If you had an old friend you had parted ways with, and they showed up here as well, how would you go about approaching them?

Assume that you parted on very bad terms.

You know, you'd figure I would have been in that sort of situation before, but I actually can't think of any friends I've ever had a real falling out with.

Do you want to try to mend things? I can't think of any other reason to approach them in the first place.

[vulpeus]

Mend things? Yes and no. I don't really know if we can.

[princessascended]

But you want to at least try and talk things out, or you wouldn't be asking this.

Maybe... start by agreeing not to fight with them here? No accusations, no yelling, just... trying to figure out where you two go from here.

[vulpeus]

I don't know if that's possible.
Or... I don't know if I can convince them that I won't start a fight.
Or convince myself.

[princessascended]

If you can't be sure you aren't going to fight with them, then is it really a good idea to meet?

[vulpeus]

I don't really know. But is not meeting better than not fighting? Never having resolution?

[princessascended]

Given the sort of collateral damage people on your level of power could cause in a real, all-out brawl, it might be.

What would be the point if you got into a fight, anyway? Would you be trying to kill them?
