Ogre: Not just to me. Ogre: You matter as a person. Ogre: I don't know how to say this over text I guess. Just... I think you're kind and sweet and brave and a little too hard-working in a sense. Your feelings are important just because you're you and you exist. The fact that you strive to be a good person and responsible is praiseworthy, but your good traits are just that. What matters is you, just you, as a living person with feelings and thoughts. Praise and admiration aside, you could be terrible and you'd still matter. Ogre: Any way I word this feels a little off. I don't want to minimize what makes you admirable at all. Ogre: Or any of the work you put in to being strong, and kind, and helpful. Ogre: And I guess I didn't want to make you keep talking about any of this when you're already tired of it, sorry.
[ there's a pause between the time he sends all that and when he gets the next one. not because she's angry. but he made her cry a little just now. and not bad tears. ]
Hiryuu: It's fine. You don't need to be sorry. Hiryuu: I think I understood what you meant anyway. Hiryuu: It was really nice.
[ and it means a lot to her even if there's a part of her isn't sure she's supposed to matter as a person.]
Ogre: I'm glad. Ogre: Anyway I actually wanted to know if you want to come over? I'm inviting the people I'm dating and Loki, just for card games and hot cocoa, not for all night or anything, but it'd be fun? If you feel like it.
[ everyone he's dating--and loki? ... well. on the one hand, that seems a little strange. on the other hand, loki is a Good Boy and she's glad more people are appreciating him and making friends with him! so. that's quickly shuffled out of the way. ]
Hiryuu: I can come. Hiryuu: Well maybe. Hiryuu: Is it some kind of special occasion? Hiryuu: I'm already in my pajamas, but I can put on my robes, if that's acceptable.
