Failure never sat all that well with me, Barnaby. So bearing that in mind, I'm as well as you might expect.

[ex_nearsighted397]

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

That is to say, not well at all?

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

Are you certain that I can't do anything?

[sturmhond]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

What is there to be done? Nothing about this will get any better through my crying over it.

[ex_nearsighted397]

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

I didn't exactly have crying in mind, but there are other forms of stress relief.

[sturmhond]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

There are indeed, and I'm very keen to partake in them. I'll be all right, Barnaby. Everything passes.

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

Even this.

[ex_nearsighted397]

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

I suppose you already have drinking covered. Fair enough.

[sturmhond]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

The drinking, I'll enjoy. You know me, Barnaby. I'll be fine.

[ex_nearsighted397]

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

Oh, yes. I am aware that you are too stubborn for your own good.

[sturmhond]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

Look who I'm talking to. Are you aware Kotetsu just told me that I'm just like you?

[ex_nearsighted397]

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

He what?

[sturmhond]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

'You and Bunny are so alike', he said. While we talked about me not talking.

[ex_nearsighted397]

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

It's funny he should say that. Kotetsu is the worst person I know for that sort of behaviour.

[sturmhond]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

Well, he said he would talk to Alina for me. You think he doesn't tell you when he has a problem?

[ex_nearsighted397]

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

Kotetsu is a man who keeps his personal struggles to himself. I know this only because I've learned to read him over the years that I've known him.

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

If the problem has nothing to do with him, he'll be the first to try and solve it. He likes to help others, especially his friends.

[ But when it comes to himself... well, it's been a struggle. ]

[sturmhond]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

I see. I'm beginning to understand why you get along so well with each other.

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

Though you were right about him, by the way. He can't see what's in front of him. I did try.

[ex_nearsighted397]

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

Because we're both stubborn?

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

I thought you might say that. Though I'm surprised that you still tried. I would have thought it an obviously futile endeavour.

[sturmhond]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

I'm afraid it may have been, in the end. I could have spelled it out for him in lights, and he still wouldn't have understood.

I'm sorry, my friend.

[ex_nearsighted397]

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

There's no need to apologise. I appreciate that you took the time to try, in any case.

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

I don't expect anything to ever come of it.

[sturmhond]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

Unless you make the first move, I'd have to agree. But given how well my talk with him went, I can understand your reluctance.

[ex_nearsighted397]

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

I'm sure I know how that would end.

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

I'll put it behind me and move on. It's for the best.

[sturmhond]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

I'm sorry to concede that it may be. I would like to see you happy, Barnaby. It's what you deserve.

this is making me sad...

[ex_nearsighted397]

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

Deserve? I'm not sure I would go quite that far.

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

But I am determined to make the best of it, such as it is.

omfg but they are together now anyway!!!

[sturmhond]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

No. Deserve is the right word. You deserve for someone to look at you the way you look at him.

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

Some day, someone will.

WOW THAT MADE IT WORSE THANKS

[ex_nearsighted397]

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

I don't recall anyone ever telling me that I deserve to be happy, before now.

FROM: brooksjr.barnaby@cdc.org

But I don't think there could be anyone else.

you're welcome ilu

[sturmhond]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

Not now, perhaps. But in time.

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

Come drink with Wesley and me. You'll feel better.
