Re: 241 Late Night

[vapour]

It's nothing so deep. Maybe I just don't like other people very much.

Re: 241 Late Night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Surely you must like SOME people.

Re: 241 Late Night

[vapour]

And why is that?

Re: 241 Late Night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

It would be pretty lonely to dislike everyone.

Re: 241 Late Night

[vapour]

Oh? Clever. Although, you can like a lot of people and still be terribly lonely. I guess a siren would know what it's like to be loved by many and consistently suffer the dread of loneliness every day, though, so you have a slightly different way of looking through that lens as a skill.

That's the problem, though. You need to... well, love and be loved to not feel loneliness.

Re: 241 Late Night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Are you suggesting you’re not loved at all?

Re: 241 Late Night

[vapour]

Hmm, I wouldn't say that. That's very hard to prove even if I thought that.

But they're very far away. And especially while stuck on this ship... they might as well not exist at all.

Re: 241 Late Night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Well isn't that a dark take.

Re: 241 Late Night

[vapour]

It's only dark if that kinda thing bothers you.

Re: 241 Late Night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

So you're more scared of them existing than the idea of them not existing?

Re: 241 Late Night

[vapour]

What a mouth on you~.

Re: 241 Late Night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

So I've been told!

Re: 241 Late Night

[vapour]

As much as I'd be interested to see what else it can do, I don't have the social conditioning of someone like you. It's all a bit exhausting for me.

Since you didn't run off in the end, I'll be taking my leave first.

Re: 241 Late Night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Have a better night.

[ Side steps to walk by him without another word or glance. Maybe Sam really is exhausted, as it's very reminiscent of something running out of fuel the way he so cleanly disengages despite having pushed the conversation to continue longer than if he just let Jewel leave the first time. ]
