You say you're good with machinery?

I wonder if this means you're not good with people?

[chrysophilist]

That is like, the exact opposite of true. I love people! Why would liking machina mean I couldn't like people, anyway?

[youropponentis]

You can always get a job being an on-call mechanic, Rikku.

Y'know, I was thinkin' about that, like, after I got settled. I think it'd be a good deal.

You're welcome to stay with me until you find something better. We have a pretty spacious place...but it's pretty old and dirty. We're still cleaning it up. I'm out most of the week so you can always crash there when you're tired.

[chrysophilist]

Yeah? I'll have to think about that. Thanks for the offer, Aqua.

[chrysophilist]

Alright. How about tonight?

That's Al Bhed. It's my native tongue.

[want_the_world]

Sure. How about in front of The Watering Hole?

It doesn't sound remotely related to any I know. [Point for the 'possibly not crazy' column.]
