[whoa, that's unexpected. just another thing nam soon never expected to do, but he's had more opportunity to let out those sides of him that were once locked away.]

I'll try to do that, then. I can probably listen better than birds, too. [if she has anything she wants to say.]

[immobileyes]

I don't know about that! Sometimes I'd read them stories and they'd almost stay to the end.

[ But usually they just flew off like jerks before Mary reached the good part. ]

[unpresidential]

...Almost.

[that doesn't sound very reassuring. he wonders why she saved it for the birds, but he would never dare ask in case it's a sensitive topic. he understands that whole being alone thing a little too well.]

It's better like this, then. With someone who can actually listen without leaving.

[immobileyes]

If I get boring, you can leave too.

[ She'd be sad-- but she's trying to be considerate!! ]

[unpresidential]

I don't think you'd be boring. Not more boring than me.

[so why would he leave? he doesn't have any reason to intentionally hurt her feelings.]

[immobileyes]

But you're not boring at all!

[ Seriously??? ]

[unpresidential]

I don't think I'm very interesting.

[he doesn't seem to mind it, though.]

[immobileyes]

I don't think I'm very interesting, either, but I like you.

[unpresidential]

You're interesting... I think so. [cute little sisters are interesting.]

[immobileyes]

... Then we're even!

[unpresidential]

It looks that way, huh...

It's good, then.
