[.............................]

Am I supposed to?

[diamondo]

[...what the fuck, Ishimaru.]

well uh
"supposed to" might not be the right term for it
but most people do?
especially if it's something to spare someone's feelings or something

[ardent]

[...but.]

Well, I can see where sparing one's feelings is a good thing, and I've started trying to do that! ["Started."] But I don't think lying to anyone is going to help anything.

[diamondo]

[...well this is going to be fun...]

well no maybe not
but what about omissions?

[ardent]

It depends on how you mean.

[diamondo]

like purposefully leaving out things?
so it's not flat-out lying

[ardent]

Kyoudai, we've gone over that in the past, it's still lying.

[........]

I have gotten better at not agreeing with people when they say something and agreeing would probably be insulting, though.

[diamondo]

well that's good!!
i was kind of worried about that
so i'm glad to hear you're getting better with it!

[ardent]

[...wait what]

Why were you worried about it?

[diamondo]

well i've been kind of worried that you'd fuck up badly one day
like really badly

[ardent]

Well, I think I upset someone the other day, and that had a lot of potential to not end very well.

We fixed it, though.

[diamondo]

who was it? what happened?

[ardent]

It wasn't anyone from our class! It was someone from the other one.

Do you know Kuzuryuu-kun?

[diamondo]

the name sounds familiar but i can't place it

[ardent]

Super High School Level Gangster. The short one, with the eyepatch?

[diamondo]

oh yeah him!
so what happened?

[...wait for it...]

wait
shsl gangster
fucking hell you said something bad to him!??

[ardent]

Not intentionally! We were talking and I...think I clarified too much. I've been told that gets counterproductive sometimes. Either way, there was a misunderstanding because of that, and then I called him out on something he was doing because it was incredibly obvious, and we kind of yelled for a while before the misunderstanding got cleared up.

He apologized for having a bad reaction to it, though! He seems pretty nice, actually. He said that I'm weird but it's a good sort of weird.

[diamondo]

holy shit
you argued with the shsl gangster and you got out alive
i have so much respect for you right now holy shit

[ardent]

Yes, of course! Apparently it wasn't a grievous enough slight against either of us to warrant any blood being drawn.

At least, I think that's how he said it works.

[diamondo]

well thank fuck it all worked out somehow!

[ardent]

Something like that, yes!

But other than that I don't think there have been any problems. If there are, then no one's telling me.

[diamondo]

i'm glad to hear it!
i'm sure you'll just keep improving from here on!
