I feel like that doesn't take into account how well I know you though!

That should count for extra

[wolf_blood]

but does that count for extra enough to balance out how much of a soft spot you have for me?

[whateveraspidercan]

The soft spot is only there because I know you so well!

You made the spot soft

[wolf_blood]

sure, maybe, but that doesn't answer the question

I don't really remember how we started talking about this

[whateveraspidercan]

Good point

I wonder if I can think back and figure out when I first had a soft spot for you

[wolf_blood]

oh, I'd would like to know that

[whateveraspidercan]

Okay I think I have it narrowed down

I think it was like... the second time we were at the same party

And there was this girl there who was super shy but like... trying to do the whole party thing?

But you totally just sort of like

Latched her on to her and was her wing-woman the whole time and I could tell she felt way more comfortable

Maybe you were hitting on her or something idk but I thought that was super sweet of you

[wolf_blood]

... yeah, I remember that. I wasn't hitting on her.

You really are very good at people watching, aren't you?

[whateveraspidercan]

I think I just notice when people are nice to like

[He wants to say "losers" but that's rude to the girl he'd been talking about.]

Well people like me

[wolf_blood]

except you definitely notice when people are being assholes too, so you can't really say "just"

[whateveraspidercan]

Well everyone notices assholes

[wolf_blood]

that's not true and you know it

[whateveraspidercan]

They do, they just don't do anything about it

[wolf_blood]

yeah, exactly.

which makes them basically assholes too.

[whateveraspidercan]

I don't know if I think that

Standing up to stuff like that can be dangerous or scary so I get it if people don't want to

[wolf_blood]

no, screw that

you can't only do the right thing when it's not dangerous or scary

[whateveraspidercan]

You shouldn't but I guess I just don't always blame people when they don't

But things are definitely a lot better when more people do stand up when it's scary

[wolf_blood]

well, you're a more generous person than I am, but we already knew that

Fear cuts deeper than swords

[whateveraspidercan]

That's alright though, that sort of thing is good for people to aspire to

Where did you hear that quote? I like it

[wolf_blood]

that's true

My fencing teacher from years ago. He had all sorts of weird little sayings but that one's my favorite

[whateveraspidercan]

You'll have to tell me some more when you remember them :-)

[wolf_blood]

Oh, I remember all of them. My second favorite was "There is only one god and his name is Death, and there is only one thing we say to Death: 'Not today.'"

actually maybe that one's my favorite, I don't know

he was big on teaching fencing not like it was just some random show off skill but like you were actually going to use it

[whateveraspidercan]

Oh that's a good one

My Uncle Ben used to say, "With great power comes great responsibility."

That seems like the best way to learn fencing

[wolf_blood]

Oh, that's good too.

It was the best way! I had so many bruises and Sansa would make the best faces at them but "every hurt is a lesson." He was the best.

[whateveraspidercan]

It's kind of what I try to live my life by

That's a really, really good way to look at pain
