I shrug at the silence as if this is helps fill it, then lean back against the couch so I can tilt my head back and close my eyes in something like exasperation.
I don't know why we're even talking about this, as we've been over it before, but I don't suppose there's any sense in going over it all again.

"... So..." I say after a moment, sitting back more and turning so that I can face him properly.

"So..." I agree, half-shrugging.
I guess we're back to stunted conversation.

"... What next?" I ask finally, shrugging. "I mean... we can't just go back to how it was unless we want to just go in circles forever."

I frown faintly at that, before finally answering intelligently, "I don't know what next."

"No, didn't really expect you to." I sigh slightly, shaking my head.

"Well, what do you think then?" I ask, sighing slightly in response but mostly because she sighed first.

"I don't know either, honestly. Just... something has to be different." I shrug again.

"Well...that's helpful," I note.

"I know...." I shrug, shaking my head again. "But I don't know how to fix this kind of thing, other than the obvious like no longer being a fickle slut."

Post by Logan Andrews on Mar 5, 2009 17:52:35 GMT
I raise an eyebrow at that, but then just shrug, "It's not like I know how to fix this kind of thing either. And you were only a fickle slut once or twice, if I recall, so I don't think that was that much of a problem."

"Couldn't hurt not to be," I counter, raising my eyebrows back at him. "So what about you then?"
|

Post by Logan Andrews on Mar 5, 2009 18:00:29 GMT
I shrug, "What about me?"
I'm not entirely sure what she means by that, unless she's asking what I'm going to change...but in which case I don't quite know how or what I'd go about altering.

"I don't know," I shrug. "I guess... I know what I messed up on, so what about you?"

I glance at her briefly, because that seems sort of like a stupid question, because there's quite an extensive list already even if the relationship didn't last very long at all.
"Well, I'll try and keep the homicidal urges under wraps," I mutter, "For one thing."
I'll also try not to sleep around, even if I only did that once. It might be an idea to try breaking down the whole ridiculous personal space thing that prevents me from interacting with her normally. Driving her to putting a plastic bag over her head is another thing I might want to work on not doing again...
I shake my head briefly, cutting off the internal listing.

"That might help," I agree a little dryly, then shake my head. "I don't know, this is ridiculous."

Post by Logan Andrews on Mar 5, 2009 18:27:22 GMT
"Hm," I murmur, then shrug, "It is a bit ridiculous, yes."
|

Post by Arden Patricks on Mar 5, 2009 18:35:01 GMT
I nod in agreement, then sigh again. "Could I make a suggestion?"

Post by Logan Andrews on Mar 5, 2009 18:39:07 GMT
I shrug, "Yeah, guess so."

"... Is it possible you might try to be less... I don't know. Less... inhuman?" I grimace slightly, wondering if there's a better word and I'm just not thinking of it.

I laugh slightly at that, only very slightly, because of the way she phrased that rather than because it's amusing, then say with yet another small shrug, "Define 'inhuman'."
I'm sure there are many ways I probably act inhuman, so she's going to have to be more specific than that.

"I... don't know exactly," I shrug, looking away. "How to define it, that is. Could you... I don't know, change your very nature so I don't wind up half-wishing I was with Riley instead? I guess that's what I'm asking. I'm sorry."

Post by Logan Andrews on Mar 5, 2009 18:53:46 GMT
"Lovely." I say wryly, but then shrug, "So why is it you half-wish you were with Riley then?"
I will try not to be too annoyed by that and instead remain impassive about that, and will instead ask until I understand what the exact problem is with my 'inhumanity'.

I wince slightly, wanting to apologize again but thinking better of it, and just shaking my head instead.
"... Well, I'd prefer if I hadn't had to ask you to come over here, for one," I say, feeling ridiculous.

"Dammit, I don't know," I say, shaking my head. "I just don't want this all to repeat."

Post by Logan Andrews on Mar 6, 2009 16:12:17 GMT
I don't know what to say to that, because it seems sort of pointless to agree because I, obviously, don't particularly want to it to repeat either, so I don't say anything.

"For what?" I reply.

Post by Arden Patricks on Mar 6, 2009 16:19:28 GMT
"I don't know. The fact that I'm being no help with all of this?" I shrug slightly. "... Or, that in addition to not being fickle, I was going to try and not say anything insulting or hurtful and I think that one comment was borderline."
