I figure by now I've done enough moping to last me a lifetime and more. After all, if I internalize the pain and sadness, I am not getting better. Instead, I'm just letting it consume me and threaten to break my spirit

Heh, I can certainly agree with that. Welcome back, Hoshi-chan.

[soul_on_light]

It's funny how alike we are, but yet have differences, isn't it?

Ah, I think the "-chan" suffix is a bit too dated for me now. I'm twenty-five, Yoshino.

[isnot_theworst]

... eh heh, still, I can't help but think it fits you...

Even if you are older now...

[soul_on_light]

Well... As long as no one calls me princess or lord here, I should be okay.

You were more mature than I was when I was sixteen, if it's any consolation, Yoshino.

[isnot_theworst]

You didn't know me when I was sixteen. Thank goodness for that.

[soul_on_light]

Teenage years tend to be the hardest, don't they?

[isnot_theworst]

... Hoshi, considering what happened here happened after I turned nineteen...

... No. I can't agree with that.

[soul_on_light]

I'm sorry for my word choice, then.

[isnot_theworst]

It's fine. I know you didn't mean anything by it. I'm sorry I made it awkward.

[soul_on_light]

Not at all. Sometimes, you have to expect unpleasant topics to enter conversations.

[isnot_theworst]

Okay then...

... You doing anything tomorrow? Maybe we could get lunch.

[soul_on_light]

Not particularly, other than staying at the inn, however I'd love to get lunch with you, Yoshino.

[isnot_theworst]

Okay then. Twelve o'clock sound okay?

[soul_on_light]

Sure, sounds great!

[isnot_theworst]

It's a plan, then.

[soul_on_light]

Where do you want to meet?
