My sense of humor isn't necessarily the best. . . ah, but--

[ Here's another one. ]

[tigerpoet]

Oh, I like this one.

[is this his picture of bsd atsu or inaba's? a mystery. but it's probably inaba.]

It's a very good photograph.

[dereban]

It really is.

[ She sagely nods.

It would not be a surprise if it was Inaba's, since she saves a lot of images. ]

[tigerpoet]

.......He'll never believe us about it being a good photo.

[A good 'photo', right.]

[dereban]

He'll just assume we're making fun of him, probably.

[tigerpoet]

I understand low self-esteem, I have that too, but it still baffles me how he can look at that picture and not admit that he has a spectacular behind.

Should I feel bad about talking about this with you when he isn't here...?

[dereban]

Maybe he's seen better booties?

[ And she shrugs. ] I don't know. Do you feel bad about it?

[tigerpoet]

Hard to imagine.

[It's a really good butt.]

...mostly, I feel bad that I'm unable to convince him of how gorgeous he is.

[dereban]

Maybe I'll ask him.

[ oh

no ]

For people like that, you have to push a little harder.

[tigerpoet]

What do you think I should do?

[oh no]

[dereban]

Did you tell him outright that he's hot?

[ This is an indisputable truth, apparently. ]

[tigerpoet]

Yes. If I remember right, I called him beautiful specifically.

[dereban]

And what was his exact response?

[tigerpoet]

He told me that I was too and we went around in circles for a bit.

[What else would have happened, really.]

[dereban]

. . . Ah.

That's a difficult problem. Well, something's just got to give, honestly.

[tigerpoet]

I know I don't have any right to speak when it comes to low self-esteem, but...

[He pinches the bridge of his nose, trying to figure out how to say 'he's the most beautiful person in Prismatia and I want him to know that' without actually. Saying it like that.]

[dereban]

[ She's going to move her hands to his shoulders. ]

You have to believe in yourself more! If you can't do that and wind up going in circles, it's just going to keep up like that and won't even go anywhere.

[tigerpoet]

[is this a shounen inspiring speech]

I-I know, I know that, but I don't know how to help my own self-esteem problems and his at the same time?

[dereban]

That's why you need a third person?

[ #helping

She's not a shonen, but she sure can make speeches like one, given that she is a protagonist. ]

[tigerpoet]

You seem like you have more confidence than either of us, so... yes?

[please lend us your protag power]

[dereban]

Haha, it just takes a while. . . to have full confidence in yourself.

[tigerpoet]

Should I have learned it already by age thirty...?

[dereban]

It's not something that's defined by age, you know. And it can come and go with some people, since you know. . . we're not exactly stagnant creatures.

[tigerpoet]

...no, of course not. That would be simple, and humans are never simple.

[Or ghosts, or elves, or what have you.]

[dereban]

And that's exactly the reasoning of my answer.

[ At least, in her head. ]
