I'm not sure I'm special enough for it to be considered lucky that I have deep feelings for you.

[judgementor]

That's hardly a surprise, but you'll just have to take my word for it.

[ilqaras]

You really are too good for me, sometimes. But I'm lucky to have you, either way.

[judgementor]

I won't argue on the latter point, but the former is something I doubt we will ever come to an agreement on.

[ilqaras]

Perhaps, if you make a compelling argument, I may be convinced.

[judgementor]

We both know that isn't true, don't we, Do.

[ilqaras]

Who knows. Maybe we may be graced with some sort of miracle.

[judgementor]

If I put time into this and you still rebuff me I'm going to be cross.

[ilqaras]

I do want to try to be better. Not only for you, but for myself, too.

[judgementor]

Then I'll give it some thought.
But between you and I, I'm hardly the best you deserve.

[ilqaras]

And what makes you say that?

[judgementor]

I'm well aware of my less admirable qualities, and there are many of them.

[ilqaras]

Would you care to tell me some of them? Because I doubt you could be worse than I.

[judgementor]

And give you an opportunity for self-criticism via a comparison? I wouldn't dare.

[ilqaras]

I'm hurt you would even think that. I thought that, perhaps, there are some things you would like to get off your chest.

However, I won't press the matter if you're not comfortable with sharing.

[judgementor]

Are you really going to try and tell me that you don't take absolutely any opportunity you can to speak poorly about yourself?

[ilqaras]

I give you my word that this time, I will not.

I just want to be a listening ear for you as much as you have for me.

[judgementor]

It's really not necessary. My poorer qualities don't haunt me in the way yours seem to.

[ilqaras]

Perhaps. But I'm also curious as to why you think you're not the best for me. I think I would be a better judge of that, don't you think?

[judgementor]

I suppose that's fair. But this isn't the medium to speak of it. Next time we meet in person we can talk.

[ilqaras]

Yes, you're absolutely right. Though, I will be holding you to that.

But, speaking of which, where would you like to meet me for dinner? At the shop? Or would you rather meet me at my home?

[judgementor]

I'll meet you at home.

I imagine you'd want to freshen up after work.

[ilqaras]

Oh, you mean you wouldn't want to take me to dinner covered in potting soil?

[judgementor]

Are you saying you would allow yourself to be seen in a restaurant while covered in potting soil?

[ilqaras]

I dislike the fact that you bring up an excellent point.
