Yes! Obviously! Since I am asking!

[dormheads]

Why!?

[disreguarded]

Because I said I was gonna get to know you and I'm gonna fuckin' do it.

[dormheads]

[...

well, he's silent. hard to tell what he's thinking with the panda outfit on, though.]

[disreguarded]

[she's quiet too, for a second, and then:]

I don't know, it just - it sucks to not have friends. [... shift.]

[dormheads]

[...

he sighs deeply.]

Reading.

[disreguarded]

[her lips twitch a little at that.]

Yeah? You have a favorite genre?

[dormheads]

Nonfiction.

[disreguarded]

Good start. [she rocks on her heels.] I like history, in general.

[dormheads]

[there is the long pause of someone who is, like, very bad at small talk.]

Any particular reason why?

[disreguarded]

[he's trying though!! it's okay she also sucks at this but they can practice together]

I like knowing things. [she says, thinking about it.] I like knowing what people did and how - I guess, how to build off that. Make it better. I like having context. Shit makes more sense that way.

[dormheads]

... Well, I get it. They do say that those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.

[disreguarded]

[nod]

And I don't like making mistakes, so if I can figure out how to avoid them, I will.

[dormheads]

... Mm. There's a lot of things that people simply accept as normal as well, good or bad—because it's always been that way to them.

[disreguarded]

[ah, that gets her to rub at the inside of her arm, where her fear tattoo is.]

Yeah. [...] It's important to me to make sure people don't have to think the bad shit has to be normal.

[dormheads]

... Something you're used to, then?

[disreguarded]

Something like that. [a pause.] I don't know, maybe it's stupid, but Molly said something once and it stuck with me. He leaves places better than he found them. And that resonated with me, I guess. So.

[dormheads]

... It's a nice thought. Not necessarily easy to do, though.
