I... Mn. [he is quiet a moment, wondering whether or not choosing to put this up at all was a mistake. But he has no idea how he should proceed anymore. As much as he hates to admit it... he needs help. And he needs all the help he can get.]

How... do you learn what someone wants from you when they will not tell?

[shout_geronimo]

Oh, that's easy! You listen for conversational cues and watch for body and facial language. [ALL THE HELPFULNESS]

[Permavoice]

[beautifulrondo]

That... can only get one so far.

[shout_geronimo]

Have you tried mind-reading?

[beautifulrondo]

Aside from the fact that I am unable to do that, I very much doubt doing that would make him any happier with me.

[shout_geronimo]

Oh, you're talking about your son, aren't you?

I don't think any kid would like that, no. What about talking to his mum, or his friends?

[fonflower]

What about if you ask other people? Maybe somebody else knows.

permavoice

[beautifulrondo]

I suppose there is that. [maybe he let Gwen know?]

permavoice

[fonflower]

Right! So other people can help.

How come they don't want to tell you?

[beautifulrondo]

That is just the way he is. [or... how most demons are. Even him, though he'll never admit it.] I must wonder if he would even know how to say it.

[cowardly_hero]

A back rub.

[permavoice]

[beautifulrondo]

I was not talking about you.

[cowardly_hero]

You should have been specific.

[beautifulrondo]

I intended to get a wide range of advice. I could not be specific.

[Voice]

[scentacrosstime]

Girl troubles, huh?

[permavoice]

[beautifulrondo]

Er... not quite.

[also permavoice]

[scentacrosstime]

[Gives a chuckle.]

Alright, a little more complicated than that huh?

Grrrf, so you have to be a little sneaky about it. What are you trying find out exactly?

[beautifulrondo]

I am not sure there is an "exact" to it. But as I said, I am attempting to figure out exactly what someone expects of me.

[world_of_elegance]

Again, Vyers?

[beautifulrondo]

It is not as though I intend for these things to keep happening.

[oh oops, this is permavoice]

[world_of_elegance]

What happened, exactly? What did you say to him this time?

[same here]

[beautifulrondo]

It is not my fault! [the reply comes quickly, if only because he really has no idea how to even begin to explain what happened]

...He thinks I am unworthy of respect. And the only way I seem to be capable of earning that respect is to be someone I am not. [or that's how he sees it]

[voice]

[theherotail]

Hire an investigator.

What do you need? Who do you need it from?

[permavoice]

[beautifulrondo]

[flashbacks to Roxas's journal] Somehow I do not think that would go very well.

[permavoice]

[theherotail]

Well, if you're ever interested, I can help out. But there's always just talking to the person. Open up from your end, maybe they'll open up on there's.

[beautifulrondo]

[pfft, Zidane... He's a demon. What is this sitting down and talking thing?] Well... That's... more difficult than it sounds.
