Oh.
I feel a little selfish.

But maybe it was something I did.

I wish he'd said something. Maybe I could have done something different.
But again, I'm just being selfish.

I am in no mood for guessing games or educated guesses of you. I have no desire to pry into your feelings. So you are best off simply being honest with me.

[will_be_god]

I can be nothing but honest with you. Your "prying" is done as handily as others see or hear. To block that out is impossible.

[reservedempath]

I do not understand what you fully mean with such words. However, I will say that your honesty is appreciated.

[will_be_god]

Your ability to read emotions is innate...

...that is all I will say. Anything further must be understood.

[reservedempath]

Innate. It is only who I am. An ability that could be taken advantage of. I decline from doing such a thing. I would rather open communication of honesty, not pathways where I would need to sneak my way into the hearts of others.

[will_be_god]

To sneak? No more than any other sense. To hear, to see...none consider those something to be taken advantage of, though the possibility remains.

[reservedempath]

I use 'sneak' as a... passive manner, I suppose. For those who do not wish to share their feelings openly, I can still reach out to them in that proverbial form and take their sentiments for myself. That includes you.

I simply try not to do that, however.

[will_be_god]

I see.

...Perhaps this is how you demand an answer. I will humor you. What pleases me is logic. Order. Completeness. Those things do not exist in this place.

[reservedempath]

Logic. It's an an admirable idea, but unfortunately the heart does not often sync up with the mind.

[will_be_god]

And that is what I seek to fix.
