Comment with your pup and mine, and I will tell you:

1) Why they don't get along.
2) How my pup's opinion of yours has changed over time.

Or possibly I'll just ramble at you about interactions. You know how it goes.

Ooooh. You hadn't mentioned the Zyll thing before, no, and that's interesting. And makes a lot of sense.

(As does the Taosverse thing. Ahaha. And yeah, one of the many, many aspects of River's complicated attitude towards Taos and all its kids is the fact that she knows she was luckier than most of them. She got out first; she has Simon and the crew and even her parents, now. And if some of them are friends she doesn't see very often at all any more, and if her closest friend at the Academy she'll never see again -- they'll never see their parents or their universe, and that's huge.)

Charles wishes they could get along better. So do I. Personally, I think if he'd lighten up and not infuse every conversation he ever has with DEEP MEANING, he might have better luck.

*snickers* Yyyyeah. Oh, Charles. *ruffles his hair* Maybe if he lightens up, it will help, yes! Plus he ought to in general for his own sake. Perhaps someone will teach him.

Right now it's in a way harder that he's trying so hard to be sensitive, because it makes them both hyperaware of everything. If the hurt is inevitable, River would rather just keep moving, and not have to pause to deal with apologies for it and questions about how to avoid it. *grin* Especially since she is very bad at a) having any idea how to avoid it, especially since what hurts isn't always what's actually said anyway, and b) explaining any of this to anyone. So if someone is trying to be very sensitive and careful and thoughtful and walk on eggshells, it tends to annoy her more than anything.

Even if she does understand at least a little of why Charles does.
