As I'm not sure who the captain of the SDC is at the moment...

Miss Fujiko, I'll be arriving at the submarine shortly. I'll tell you why upon my arrival. I don't mean to impose, but it would be greatly appreciated.

I don't understand what exactly has happened, but if you need someone to talk to I'm around, Kaku.

Assume that he did speak with Kalifa, and Fujiko, and Jyabura, though HE might wished he hadn't. XD

[kirin_ja]

Thank you...while I feel much calmer this morning, and a bit more levelheaded, somehow that only makes it worse.

[awa_sheep]

I suppose it's inevitable - people always thinks about things differently when their less emotional. Though your reaction was perfectly reasonable. In all honesty I'm surprised you've gone along with everything so long.

[kirin_ja]

I suppose I have my extensive training to thank for that.

It shouldn't have gone on this long in the first place.

[awa_sheep]

Indeed. Although it's made this go on for two long, so I suppose it's been as destructive as it's been useful. Lucci honestly didn't seem to think you minded a lot of his behavior when I've questioned him before. That was quite unobservant of him, but it's unfortunate it's been allowed to build up for so long as a result.

[kirin_ja]

I would have expected his powers of observation to be far more keen than this...but perhaps I'm a better actor than I realized.

It wasn't as though...each individual occurrence bothered me...but rather the conglomeration of events over time that did.

[awa_sheep]

Perhaps he thought the two of you had enough of an understanding that he wouldn't have to observe you in order to understand - that you would just tell him honestly? Although, I doubt you were intentionally hiding anything that you thought would negatively effect your relationship.

Exactly. I know you're more patient than that. I would have probably given up a long time ago.

[kirin_ja]

That's possible. But...I don't know, I suppose common sense might dictate that...for example, you don't go off and flirt with other people when you're married and assume it's all right.

It's been nine years since I met the man, and I've not given up yet. I don't think I will be.

[awa_sheep]

Yes, but we both know that Lucci isn't the best at empathy and understanding emotions beyond that necessary for manipulation. In that way he is quite uncommon. Although he's come to a greater understanding lately, I don't think he necessarily possesses 'common sense' in that area yet. Generally his intelligence and observation skills more than compensate for empathy, of course. And it's not, unfortunately, uncommon for people to make similar mistakes with relationships.

I don't believe you are the sort of person who makes a commitment such as marriage lightly. I just hope that you two will learn enough out of this to make your relationship a more understanding one.

[kirin_ja]

I'm not expecting this marriage to be perfect, and I never have.

...

I suppose we will find out in the long run.

On a side note, Kalifa, would you like to join Fujiko, Jyabura, and I for some fun? I realize that cliff jumping and target practice may not necessarily be your favorite activities.

[awa_sheep]

Indeed.

I think I shall. Cliff jumping and target practice are not really my favourite activities, but I'm sure I can find something to do. I've stayed stationary for too long anyway. Some movement will do me good.

[kirin_ja]

It will hopefully be fun. A good workout, if anything.
