Some people can't handle directness.

[ look, shenhe might be a little emotionally dumb and a little unintentionally reckless, but she isn't malicious. she's just shenhe about it. ]

Some people want you to tell them what they want to hear, or what they want to believe.

[bindings]

[that gets a little nyeh face.]

I don't see the point. [in telling them what they want to hear, she means.] When that happens, the truth comes around eventually.

[ashmark]

Because it's easier to live in a fantasy. [ though she doesn't sound wholly convinced of this reasoning. ]

I didn't say it was the smart thing to do.

[bindings]

[she sighs.]

Social interaction is exhausting.

[ashmark]

You're new to this, huh? [ she gently nudges her, trying to show she's not trying to make a serious statement about shenhe's social skills or lack thereof. ]

You'll get better with practice.

[she actually melts a little. it's a bit melodramatic teen.]

I have had a lot of it this week and I'm not sure I've gotten any better. [NYEH] ... I chose you, Vash, and Wolfwood as teammates because it is easier with you.

[ashmark]

You haven't hurt yourself in front me except that first time, which means you've learned something or you've gotten better about hiding it. Which also means you've learned something.

[ but to take this more seriously: ] I think we're a good team. We have a lot of differences, but our strengths work well together. You say it was easier but... I think it was very wise of you.

[bindings]

[she seems a little amused at the first part. she's been behaving herself! mostly.]

I think we are a good team too. [which is wild, considering she didn't want one to begin with. as for being called wise, she glances at nahri with a slightly surprised look.]

I think you give me too much credit. But thank you.

[ashmark]

And I think you get just the right amount. [ nahri sure as shit wasn't thinking about making a team either. she's grateful for shenhe getting it done. ]
