I would. I understand that it's difficult to speak with him if emotions are still high or you don't know what to say. Do not expect me to offer such a thing too often, though. It would not be a proper mending of a relationship if you only ever speak through me.

[pokes his nose, gentle, fond]

It's all right if you need me to lead the way once or twice though.

[laughitoff]

[swallows and shakes his head a little]

No, it's fine. I'll--I'll talk to him. I'll try.

[rootsforyou]

You will? Then please tell me how it goes. I would be happy to hear what progress you're able to make.

[laughitoff]

[nods again!

he would hate to be compared to a chastened puppy but that's exactly what he looks like right now]

[rootsforyou]

[oh noooooooo, pets him more]

I'm sure you already know this, but it's perfectly fine if you don't get along with everyone. In this case, though, I can only encourage you to try. You both respect each other too much to leave it as it is.

[laughitoff]

Respect is a funny word to use...

[mumbled]

[rootsforyou]

If it's not respect then what would you call it?

[laughitoff]

I don't know, it's complicated!

[rootsforyou]

Then I shall use "respect" until you find a suitable replacement.

[laughitoff]

Fiiiiine...

[he doesn't have a good argument. terrible]

[rootsforyou]

[continues to offer soothing pets, serene]

Another word came to mind, but since I don't know if it's as suitable I won't say it.

[laughitoff]

Shijie, that's terrible! Now I have to know what it is!

[rootsforyou]

I won't say! You won't like it anyway.

[laughitoff]

[WHINES PITIFULLY]

Tell meeeeeeeee!

[rootsforyou]

If I say it you have to promise not to get mad, okay?

[laughitoff]

I promise, I promise!

[rootsforyou]

"You both like each other too much to leave it as it is."

Was that a comment?

[laughitoff]

[twiddles his thumbs]

No.

[rootsforyou]

It does not appear to be untrue based on my own observations.

[laughitoff]

I...

[HE DOESN'T AGREE BUT HE PROMISED]

[rootsforyou]

[he is still making a face anyways. gives his ears a small skritch]

I believe I said it already. If you didn't care about him then you wouldn't be bothered about having an argument. You wouldn't think about it at all.

It's not a bad thing to like him and want to be friends with him.

[laughitoff]

...

[looks away altogether, even despite the petting; he doesn't know what to do with this at ALL]

[rootsforyou]

[that's fine, she is going to keep petting in quiet; whether he wants to think about that or not is up to him]
