For someone who claims hate so fervently even if I said you were wrong, would you believe it?

No. I'll respect your decisions and methods as much as you respect my own.

Truthfully? I wouldn't. Points for you, though, for actually cottoning on.

I see what you did there. Hah.

I enjoy gaining points. For the record, you were wrong though.

[He's busy nibbling away at the side of his fingernail bed, it muffles his voice a little bit.]
Did you?
[Until he lets go.]
I'd hoped so. Mutual respect is a very important thing.

Doubtlessly so. I haven't even had my evening tea yet.

Acknowledgment doesn't equate to respect, bro, though it does eventually beget it.
So congrats, you got me using my thinkpan so early in the night.

Tea sounds lovely, it's perfect for winding down. Do you prefer a certain type?

I've been misunderstood. Garnering your respect would mean that we would have to meet on a common level. We've yet to obtain something of the sort aside my ability to... engage your thinkpan. It seems at almost every turn we might disagree-- Could that be our commonality?

[ without thinking: ] Chameowmile.

Well now, that depends. The chance that we might find a subject we agree on is relatively high still, considering the sheer volumes of worldly topics that we've yet to even touch on in discussion.

[...Did he just say meow?]
That's a type I can't say I haven't tried.

Oh?
What would you prefer we talk about?

[ he's trying not to facepalm even as they speak. ]
It's okay. Purrl Gr- I mean Earl Grey is fine too. [ GODDAMMIT DI ]

At the risk of being too forward, might I suggest the topic of BREW? What are your thoughts?

[So he was working in cat noises. And then trying to retract them, how interesting.]
I really have to ask, the reception of my question may be met with more of our commonality. Are you conditioned to use cat noises or are those slips?

[...........................
Wait what?
Did someone just give him an ounce of respect enough to maybe consider he may not like a topic? What?
His pause doesn't last long, but wow]
I don't enjoy their methods and I view them as one side of a two sided story I can't gain access to the other side's view of. However, a young man here said to me that if I have someone here to protect it should be my priority. That's a paraphrase, but I've made friends here I don't wish to see hurt. After seeing what the opposition had done relentlessly, I can see the need to protect ourselves however fighting a war we're never given both sides to doesn't seem fair or proper.

Force of habit. [ His rep. Down the drain. Thank you, legion of Leijons. ]

Best part of that is you're not the first sucker to think that way. [ Points: granted, however grudgingly. ] A lot of newcomers, much like ourselves, basically get our asses lead up the metaphorical garden path of good intentions and straight into the frontlines based off that friendly outlook alone.

Unfair as the system is, it's figured out an effective way to operate regardless, wouldn't you agree?

[Not so down the drain, just an interesting slip of the tongue.]
A habit most unique.

[He's listening, quiet and respectful.]
I would absolutely agree. Not only but I enjoy that you're neither sugar coating or pulling punches in telling me what others have found and failed. I've no want to go down their roads. Fight or die is a very strong message, bringing us here to do so while the people native to the countries seem angry about it is a little odd.
