  1. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:08:34 <Hankolijo> Leonard heads out and takes a deeeeep breath.
  2. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:09:51 <%Balthazaar> Lua's still on the hill
  3. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:10:21 <Hankolijo> Is the hill visible from site?
  4. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:10:42 <%Balthazaar> Like a 5 minute walk
  5. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:11:47 <Hankolijo> Leonard heads in the hill's general direction.
  6. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:13:07 <%Balthazaar> Luna's there
  7. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:13:34 <Hankolijo> Leo sees her and takes a deep breath, heading up the hill. "Um, hey, Luna."
  8. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:14:02 <%Balthazaar> She turns and smiles a little. "Hello..."
  9. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:14:42 <Hankolijo> He smiles back. "Uh, hey. Can we talk for a bit?"
  10. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:16:07 <%Balthazaar> "We can." she nods
  11. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:19:59 <Hankolijo> He rubs the back of his neck. "Well, uh... I was recommended to be direct." ~For the tenth or so time. Sheesh, I suck at taking advice.~ "So... I'll just say it... I told you I like you. I find you beautiful, good company, and... I..." ~Bwak bwak bwak~ "I kind of... Want... to be more than just friends."
  12. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:20:51 <%Balthazaar> She tilts her head. "Whatever do you mean?"
  13. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:22:45 <Hankolijo> "I, uh... Well, I /really/ like you. And... You know how, I don't know, Clyde and Isa are? You know, um... Together?"
  14. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:23:51 <%Balthazaar> "Who is Clyde?"
  15. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:27:12 <Hankolijo> "Oh. I had assumed you knew who he was. Hm. Well, Clyde and Isa are a... couple. They're there for each other, spend time together."
  16. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:27:31 <%Balthazaar> "A couple of what?"
  17. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:27:52 <Hankolijo> "A couple means two people involved in a relationship."
  18. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:28:10 <%Balthazaar> "Relationship?"
  19. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:30:27 <Hankolijo> ~'Explain stuff as you go'. God damn it, Vincent.~ "Yeah. A relationship. When two people like each other a lot, and enjoy spending time together a lot, and feel they are right for one another, they get together, that is, become a couple, that is, get in a relationship."
  20. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:32:41 <%Balthazaar> "I don't understand, Leonard. What do you mean right for each other? What do you mean by getting together? We are together, on this hill."
  21. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:36:35 <Hankolijo> Leonard sighs. He thinks for a moment, and takes out his notepad. He flips open a fresh page and takes his pencil out from his jacket. He then draws up a bunch of circles on the page. "Say, this group of circles resembles the population of the Earth. And these two circles," He points them out. "Are a man and a woman, who, for one reason
  22. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> or another, have met
  23. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:36:35 <Hankolijo> each other. They, like I said before, enjoy each others' company, and like each other a lot. While they are surrounded by other folks, who they are also close to," He points to a bunch of other circles. "They are closer to each other. And they can decide to form a sort of... Bond. Not a physical one. One that sort of... Places them
  24. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> together socially, and
  25. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:36:35 <Hankolijo> allows them to be more than just friends." He draws a line between the two circles.
  26. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:38:06 <%Balthazaar> "So... They like each other more than they do others?"
  27. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:38:21 <%Balthazaar> "What is more than just friends?"
  28. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:41:15 <Hankolijo> "Well, the relationship I'm taking about is a... Ugh, romantic one. Two friends might hang out, watch a movie together, let you cry on their shoulder. But a person you're together with - In a couple with - in a relationship with... You can /always/ rely on them. For support, for help, for comfort."
  29. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:42:19 <%Balthazaar> She tilts her head. "You mean love?"
  30. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:42:51 <%Balthazaar> "That sounds similar..."
  31. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:42:57 <Hankolijo> He nods. "Yeah." ~Oh, neat, Vincent didn't mess up her perspective on that.~
  32. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:44:39 <%Balthazaar> "But, I don't think I can... The most I've felt is safe and content..."
  33. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:46:10 <Hankolijo> He sighs, disappointed. "I understand. Sorry for bothering you."
  34. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:48:33 <%Balthazaar> She tilts her head. "... You are hurt by this?"
  35. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:49:22 <Hankolijo> "I..." Sigh. "Yes. But... Don't mind it. It's not your fault you don't feel like I do."
  36. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:50:09 <%Balthazaar> her expression turns from confused to sympathetic. "... But I don't want you to be hurt..."
  37. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:50:22 <%Balthazaar> "Tell me how to fix you."

  39. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:55:37 <Hankolijo> "I don't think you ca-" He blinks. "Well, actually... Would you be, uh, interested in watching a movie with me?"
  40. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:56:38 <%Balthazaar> She nods.
  41. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:56:45 <%Balthazaar> "Will that help you?"
  42. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:57:39 <Hankolijo> "Um, it might." ~Still a chance, Leonard! Still. A. Chance.~
  43. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:57:58 <%Balthazaar> She nods.
  44. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:59:35 <Hankolijo> He smiles. "Great! When are you free for it?"
  45. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 17:59:57 <%Balthazaar> "I'm almost always free..."
  46. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 18:01:09 <Hankolijo> "Well, I have a patrol in a half an hour, and I'd need to set it up, so... How about I go see you in... Two and a half hours? That sound okay?"
  47. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 18:04:42 <%Balthazaar> Luna nods, looking concerned. "I will do all I can to fix you..."
  48. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 18:05:40 <Hankolijo> "Don't worry, Luna. I've been hurt much worse, and I'm still standing."
  49. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 18:06:44 <%Balthazaar> She nods. "I'll see you in two and a half hours then."
  50. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 18:07:31 <Hankolijo> He nods. "Right. See you then." He smiles to her and turns, walking off.
  51. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 18:07:41 <%Balthazaar> she heads for inside

  53. 20:57:49 <Hankolijo> 18:08:07 <Hankolijo> Defeated, but not beat! Wait, those are synonyms. Leonard contemplates this as he heads inside, thoughtful.
