Then - I hope you get to feel a whole lot of things, Shen-san. Hopefully more good than bad, but even if you get hit with tough one, know you've got friends like me who'll sit through it with you.
[hmm. he looks thoughtful about that, a little sheepish]
Ah, I guess I do... I don't get a chance to make many - and none really last... so I guess I like to seize the opportunity when I have it.
[and it's easier for him to interact with the world, assuming everyone is a friend. still, he knows that he's kind of an outlier...]
But it's okay - if you don't consider me one yet, though. [since she wasn't sure about her and nahri] I like to go fast, but I can be patient too. I can wait to earn it.

It feels like too much to ask for. [but.] Still... I do wish for that, sometimes. I don't think it's possible. But I do wish.
no subject
Mm. I've got a wish or two that feels impossible.

No... it isn't that. [or maybe it is a little, but it's more like:] I have only had one, before this. It doesn't come easy to me.
I don't mind. I just wonder how good of a friend I could be to you in return.
no subject
[a light little shrug]
You don't need to do anything to be a good friend to me. I just want to spend time with you. I like to enjoy your company.
Just be yourself, and do what you want to do - that's more than enough for me.

Even if I'm strange?
[she knows she's strange! but she's found people who like her despite that. it's nice.]
no subject
I like that you don't hide who you are. Everyone should just get to do what they like, and be who they are. That's what I think.
no subject
Well then. I suppose when you put it that way, it must be true.
