[ wenzhou will make sure that his approach isn't too quiet or from her blind side, as he steps out into the warehouse district from sweet theory's. that way, he won't spook her.

he moves to sit nearby her quietly, carefully putting his jacket over her shoulders like a shock blanket. if she will let him. ]

[honkinbigteeth]

[he can, though she sort of looks up at him, a little uncertain.]

...Hi. It's not cold.

[captainry]

Not really about cold. [ a crooked smile ] More about - compassion, I guess.

You looked like maybe you needed it.

[honkinbigteeth]

Oh.

[her emotional state is like, i see. that is pretty nice.]

I bet you rescue a lot of young girls from bad situations and put blankets on them, huh?

[captainry]

[ oh there is something so distantly sad, for a moment. just a blip in the far off horizon that is emotionshare. ]

I try to, if I can. If they need it. I can't always guarantee I know the right words to say, in every situation, but sometimes just knowing you're not alone is nice.

[honkinbigteeth]

[...yeah.]

You just seem like the type who goes around cutting old ladies out of wolf stomachs.

[captainry]

[ a huff, a little humor back. ]

You know what? If there was a little old lady that needed saving from a wolf's stomach, I'd be the first one there trying to get her out, yeah.

[honkinbigteeth]

[hah. there's a very complicated feeling when he says that. something kind of messy and sad and a little bitter.]

That's kind of what I thought. You're nice, but...in a place like this, that's hard.

[captainry]

[ he doesn't miss it, but doesn't directly press it, either. considering her red hood, the woodsman's axe, the wolfy aspects of her... ]

It is. But I'd rather try to be nice, even in tough times, than give up and be a horrible dick.

[honkinbigteeth]

Are those the only options?

[captainry]

[ thinks ]

Honest, maybe. You can't always be nice when you're honest. Stubborn is both good and bad, but being stubborn about the right things can keep people safe or help them sometimes.

[honkinbigteeth]

[ok. she respects that.]

Honesty is the most overrated way to be good. It's not even close to the same thing. There are a lot of situations where it's better to lie! [...] I'm not...so good at lying. My mom always taught me not to. But in a lot of situations it's impossible to do the right thing and tell the truth.

Though I would say being nice isn't necessarily the best way to be good, either. It works for some people, though.
