Different how?

[pawper]

[She doesn't particularly want to explain, but it's not like she didn't leave herself open to this exact situation by stupidly opening her stupid mouth. So!]

Different from me, is what I mean. [A bland sort of smile.] If I can look at someone and see myself staring back...it's just kinda offputting, you know?

[thetombkeeper]

Yeah, I get that. It would be weird to seek out someone really similar to yourself... Maybe as a friend but not a partner.

[pawper]

[Her mouth opens to blurt out not even as a friend, but she catches herself at the last second, teeth clicking sharply together.]

Y-Yeah...and, well, it's not like I can't understand. People like having things in common. [Smothering a pang of envy entirely too late, her bland smile brightens in a vain bid to overcompensate.] But someone really different...they can teach you all kinds of new things, you know?

[Are you buying this...]

[thetombkeeper]

[He's buying it.]

No, no. I agree. Obviously you want someone compatible with your interests so you have some common ground but getting to try new things is... it's exciting. Gives you a new look on life and a passion.

[pawper]

[suckerrr]

Yeah! You get it.

[Her smile brightens even more, this time with genuine warmth and interest as she focuses on trying to steer the conversation to be more about him than herself. Per the rules of her ridiculous internal logic, he had to be the more interesting one out of the two of them just by default...but she's also sincerely curious.]

Are you thinking about someone in particular when you say that? If you don't mind me asking, of course.

[thetombkeeper]

Not really. Nothing like... romantic, you know? I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with that territory. But there's a group of friends that I know who fit the description of being different but still sharing the same hobbies.

I really don't know what I'd want in a partner... asides from a friend.
