Blackfeather Woods She's Never Gonna Sing Them No More

He opens up more before her, like a wonderful lotus flower upon the quiet surface of a pool. Gracious was thankful for his openness, appreciating the slight vulnerability Taikon was able to express before her. Not everyone had personalities that were easy to mingle with, to put it blatantly many were assholes and that's what made the world go 'round.

But Gracious didn't see that from Taikon. She felt like he had a wall surrounding him, and slowly she was chipping away at it. He was not unapprochable, though he was flightly and bit defensive at first. But for some reason, she felt like he had a problem with abandonment and loneliness, though it was just a hunch.

"Life isn't easy when you're a doormat, believe me," she joked lightly, "besides, I find you quite enjoyable to be around so far. Not everyone has to be our friend." Great, time to take your own advice Gracious instead of spoon feeding it to others. Not everyone could be friendly and loveable and agreeable. But to Gracious, that was all she wanted out of others, the same energy she outs into the world. perhaps that is what leaves her vulnerable.
