( You would know better than me, since you seem to be the one who eats it. )

[inflori]

( Yeah, I guess.

Does it freak you out? )

[adamance]

( I don't see it as an acceptable option. )

[The short answer would be "yes," but she isn't going to admit weakness with him. That's part of the "game" in conversing with Petre.]

[inflori]

( As opposed to what? )

[adamance]

( Why do you desire it? )

[inflori]

( I need it, idiot. )

[adamance]

( I sought clarification to see if that was the case, Petre. )

[inflori]

( No you didn't, you just wanted to check how messed up I was. )

[adamance]

( Why do you believe that every inquiry is an attack? )

[inflori]

( Because that's what happens when people don't like me. )

[adamance]

( If you think our acquaintance is a matter of something as simple as like and dislike, you may need to reconsider it. )

[inflori]

( What is it, then? )

[adamance]

( I've grown used to you, whether I would prefer it or not. Whether you partake in customs that I like or not.

And I believe I'm better off being on good terms with you than poor. )

[inflori]

( Wow.

You like me? )

[adamance]

[There is a sense of a sigh through the link, but she doesn't correct him.]

( The sentiment is shared, isn't it? )

[inflori]

( ... I guess. )

[adamance]

( You demand a lot of people. You request that they make you feel better by expressing a sentiment such a fondness, but rarely do it in return without provocation. )

[inflori]

( Why should I? I don't trust anyone to be honest about what they say around here. Especially if it's nice. )

[adamance]

( We're able to read falsehoods into each other's words far more than people typically can. )

[inflori]

( Guess what, people like to change their minds a whole fucking lot. )

[adamance]

( You're among them. )

[inflori]

( Fucking duh. Your point? )

[adamance]

( Don't hold people to standards that you are unable to fulfill yourself.

It's as simple as that. )

[inflori]

( I'll drag down the people who think they're better than me. )

[adamance]

( How do you decide that someone thinks that way? It seems extremely subjective. )
