Life is pain, highness, anyone who says different is selling something.
I don't understand people. Why do they play all these games, pretend they're not interested, and generally waste time instead of finding out if anything of worth will come of the attraction? There is little worse than wondering what could have been, regretting the time you could have spent together if only you'd pulled your heads out of your asses sooner and just talked to each other.
I can not stand that blue bastard, and Noelle seems too nice for him, but the two of them just have a chemistry together that is hard to miss. The two of them just keep dancing around it. Granted, I'd probably be the last person to volunteer to help him out, but I just can not stand to see two people who could be happy together squander that time. She listed off excuses for me, and they were really little more than that, when I challenged her on the topic. I haven't talked to him about it, but since I still think so ill of him after he shot me in the back, I doubt I will talk to him on the subject.
I did run into him in the hall, and where anyone in their right mind would have reacted to having a gun, a projectile weapon, aimed at their head, his antenni didn't even twitch at the prospect of the gun being pointed at him. It doesn't matter that the thing was unloaded at the time, it still should have provoked some sort of response, especially out of a former security chief and a tactical officer. I did not actually put two and two together until I realized after I'd passed him, I'd also passed Noelle's quarters, and he was muttering to himself about stupid things he's said, a favorite pastime of someone who's got the lust and doesn't know what to do about it.
I wonder if the reason why so many people do stupid things and squander precious relationship time is if they've never felt the true and utter loss that too little time, and a love taken away too soon really means, so they don't understand. Sure people have broken up, had rip roaring fights, but losing someone you love to the end of the universe, never getting the chance to truly say goodbye, it makes one better appreciate what they have, what they could have, and what they may lose. It's easier to throw yourself in all the way when you know what you have to lose, and that you want to enjoy every last moment of it you can. More people need to learn this, to stop wasting their time, their love and their life, to games that ultimately do nothing more than harm themselves.
