I see things that are obvious to me, but then people say it's not what I thought it was. And I don't know if it's because I'm seeing things the wrong way, or if it's because people are too embarrassed to admit to obvious things.
[Lalli seems dissatisfied with that answer, but he doesn't say anything at first. It takes a little bit for him to find the words to say what he's trying to say.]
Some people can explain what they're seeing and others understand it easily. But when I try to explain it, people just get more confused.
[ he hums a little in thought again, patting lalli's arm ]
...You might be too blunt about things sometimes. That throws people off. And stuff that seems obvious to someone can be totally different for someone else, so being told it's so in your face just upsets them. They're less likely to listen like that.
[ oh, hey. emotionshare week means lalli's getting the full ! concern when he feels like that ]
It's not a bad thing. It's just who you are. [ he tries to think of how to explain it ] I didn't get a lot of the stuff you said at first, either, but we're understanding each other better now, right?
Yeah. Talking to people can be like that sometimes, until you know more about them. [ yamato's not always straightforward to understand and he knows it, too. tsundere... ] It's not just you.
Only if they're exceeding my expectations in a positive way. I also didn't expect murder to be as big of a thing here but that expectation has been exceeded as well.

Date: 2021-07-09 03:26 am (UTC)It might not be either of those things. Sometimes people don't realize something that seems obvious because it's... normal to them.
