I'm very well aware of my failings, thank you.

[jedied]

You weren't supposed to see it!

[neverreallygone]

Is that supposed to make it better? I don't understand why it was necessary to write it out to begin with, Rey, but to post it where anybody could see?

[It was … hurtful.]

I'm not perfect. I never will be. But I'm trying to be better.

[jedied]

I'm sorry, Ben. It wasn't for anyone to see. I was angry.

I know you're trying.

[neverreallygone]

You can talk to me when I've upset you. I'll listen and try to fix what I've done wrong. I think I'd prefer that, actually.

[A short pause later - ]

It's fine.

[jedied]

You'd just stormed off and I didn't know when you'd be back or whether we'd still be fighting. I needed... perspective, I guess.

It wasn't the most mature way to go about things, I admit.

[neverreallygone]

I didn't want to say or do anything that I'd end up regretting. I was always coming back - I just needed some time to cool off first.

Maybe that wasn't the best way to handle it, either. But I don't really know how any of this is supposed to go, so … I'm going to make mistakes.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry, too.

[jedied]

I know. I don't expect you to be perfect, Ben. I'm not.

We both got some things wrong last night, but I'm not going anywhere.

[neverreallygone]

I'm not, either. There's nowhere else I'd rather be, learning curves and all.

[jedied]

As long as our arguments don't involve lightsabers I think we're making progress.

Besides, I did manage to distract you fairly effectively before you saw the list, you have to give me credit for that.

[neverreallygone]

Agreed. I would lose, every time.

I will give you credit where credit is due. You are very good at distracting me.

[jedied]

You're pretty distracting, yourself. Otherwise I might've remembered to take the list down before we got anywhere near the bedroom.

[neverreallygone]

Congratulations, you just made me laugh. I hope that when I return and we get distracted again, it's for only the best reasons.
