SOMEONE COME PLAY WITH THE CUTE PUPPY.]

I think they were merely attracted to my current form. The women found me 'cute'.

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

I am perhaps not a good judge of this, but I think you can be cute normally.

[vermified]

[WHAT.]

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

You have a boyish charm to you.

[vermified]

I-I am not boyish, my lord! ...Am I?

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

You are youthful and full of enthusiasm for your passions. When one sees it, it is rather charming.

[vermified]

...I-I think I see... perhaps...

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

You don't believe me.

[vermified]

No, my lord! I mean, yes! Yes, I believe you. But such a word is rather... feminine.

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

You should not be so concerned with how a word sounds. Rather, you should focus on the fact that someone is trying to give you a compliment.

[vermified]

W... well... thank you then, my lord...

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

It does not feel like an earnest thanks.

Nevermind.

[vermified]

...My apologies, my lord... I didn't mean to sound like I didn't believe you. I've just never been called such a thing before.

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

It is unsettling in those times when you choose not to believe me.

[vermified]

[Puppyflail!] M-my lord! I believe you, I swear it!

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

You seem so unusually doubtful.

[vermified]

[FLAILING!]

I-I'm sorry, my lord! I'll never doubt again! I will remain optimistic and faithful at all times!

[grinnvalesti.livejournal.com]

No, no, no. You miss my point.

[Does this curse ever end? It's getting disastrous.]

I want you to be honest to yourself. I want you to believe me when I give you compliments, because they are honest observations and not an attempt to soften you or worry you in any manner. I want you to learn to believe in the goodness of yourself, because it is something I believe in, and something I cherish.

[vermified]

[... Oh.

Well, that makes sense...]

...My apologies, Lord Sigmund... I overreacted completely. [He shuffles closer, rubbing his nose against the man's hand.] I'm glad that you like the way I am.
