I don't know, wanting to look nice? It doesn't have to mean strangling yourself with a suit and tie, you know. A fitted shirt and some dark slacks can go a long way.

... Please don't tell me you're taking your dates to iHop in khaki shorts.

[khajidont]

I don't really do dating. Which is kind of the whole point of looking nice? I mean, I don't see the point in doing it for yourself.

[dragony]

... Huh.

[khajidont]

Huh what?

[dragony]

Oh, it just surprises me, is all.

[khajidont]

Really? It doesn't surprise anyone else! I've never been what you'd call a hot commodity.

[dragony]

Jeez... I knew most people around here were pretty dumb, but I didn't think it was this bad.

[khajidont]

Heh, well. I think I'm gonna take that as a compliment.

[dragony]

It's both. You're one of the dumb ones, too.

You really don't think you're attractive?

[khajidont]

I mean, I don't think I'm ugly or anything! It's just... c'mon, Ruka, you know how it is.

[ He doesn't feel attractive, so it's better just not to try so he doesn't get burned!!! This is how normal people deal with dating!!!

(It is, but that doesn't mean it's good.) ]

[dragony]

Do I? Because it seems to me you can stride pretty easily past "handsome" on looks alone. Which doesn't even include how kind you are as a person, which would have made up for a deficit in the looks department, you know, if there was any. So, the combination? Unfair. Criminally.

So, I think maybe I do know how it is, but you don't.

[ wow way to make "you're hot as an entire package" sound like an insult???? ruka this is why you don't have a bf ]

[khajidont]

Oh. I, um, uh... thanks. I think. That's not, um, really something people tell me?

[ Only Traci, of course, because she was his girlfriend. Of course she liked what she saw. The rest were mainly just older female relatives and are to be taken with a grain of salt. ]

You're not so bad yourself, y'know.

[dragony]

Sometimes people don't realize you're attractive unless you already know you are. Or because you're trying to attract them.

Like I said, before. People are pretty dumb, most of the time.

... Anyway, thanks. Even if you are just returning the compliment.

[khajidont]

You'd be able to know if I was lying. Just 'cause I'm not actively looking doesn't mean I don't got eyes.

[ everyone's so hot here, ruka. including your cute spooky ass. it's unfair!! ]

[dragony]

Oh my god, why does everybody think that? Empathy isn't a lie detector unless you're already a really bad liar.

[ GENTLY....... DODGES.......... ACCEPTING THE COMPLIMENT IS GENUINE... NBD ]

[khajidont]

...do you really think I'm not a bad liar?

[dragony]

How would I know?
