Oh, and Darkside?
It makes this Lunatic very, very happy when you tell her things. Take this morning, when you were working on that stuff for that campaign of yours. It thrilled me no end when you told me about what you were doing. Even though I have very little interest in the topic... well, I can't say that, but I wouldn't be as interested without you to make it interesting...
You don't talk about anything important to many people. Today you told me about Lady Bright and Lady Dark, and your campaign setting, and about President Bush, and about the math test and the research paper... I told my mother many of these things every day when I came home from school, but they have to be dragged out of you some days.
("If you're very quiet," my father's old friend said, of the rooster standing quietly under the table, "maybe he'll speak up." And Xiao Ji did, those quiet crooning noises that roosters make when they're talking in a normal tone of voice to friends or family, not making a fuss about anything. That was the visit where Brittany shared her twinkies. )
I remember that day for Xiao Ji's talking to strangers. He was a very shy rooster.
Darkside is a very shy man. He'll talk to you endlessly if you're a gamer, or interested in his gaming, but it takes a lot of quiet, and a lot of patience, and a lot of gentle prying at the right time to get him to release any more of himself to you. All he did was sigh, but that was enough to tell me that there was something on his mind. I pried it out, and it felt so much better for him to have talked about it that he dropped in to the computer lab to tell me more about the test after his class was over.
He's not known for seeking me out. He did, this time, to tell me about the test.
Maybe one of these days he'll register that I really do care about what's up with him.
