[ways to make Helena very happy: hug her, so this is perfectly fine. regardless of what Natsume says, she can't help being soft, not on Subaru or on Natsume or anyone else she cares for. it will continue, and they will simply have to endure it.]

There's no real room for regret. How will we know, if we don't ask? It isn't as if we can consult an etiquette book on the matter - believe me, I checked for one.

I would've given you perfectly good adVICE.

( like............ cmon yall. )

[starrypoint]

Okay, so, gimme some.

Also, tell off Maddy and his friend.

And tell the person who thinks love is foolish that he's incorrect. I regret that his life has been so gloomy that he thinks love isn't worth anything, but that doesn't make him right.

[love can be for good or ill, but it's not worthless, like the person suggests.]

( oh my gosh all these demands— )

Ask me specific questions and I can better tailor answers to YOU. And don't worRY, I'm working my way to THEM.

Though I won't decry Ajax-san's rePLY. There are plenty of people who do find fulfillment in life without romantic love specificalLY, which is what this post is about in the first PLACE.

[decrypter]

But to call love "weak and frail", to talk about it like it can't make people happy, like it's some awkward burden to carry...isn't that a bit too bitter to bring into a posting about someone wanting to pursue their own love? Isn't that cruel to say in general?

[when an optimist and a pessimist's thought processes combine...]

( mmmm. )

PerHAPS, but love... no, humans have the capacity to be fickle creaTURES, particularly at the age where love and infatuation are so easily to mistake for one anoTHER. I suppose that's ALL.

[starrypoint]

[oh he found a question to ask,]

What's the diff?

[crystallomancy]

Infatuation is a short-lived but extremely intense passion for someone or someTHING, generally based on knowing little about THEM... You could say it's been attracted to the idea of what they could BE.

Love, meanwhile, is implied to be deeper and more lasting than that—you have seen sides of them that aren't as pretTY, and you've still made the choice to keep loving THEM, whether it's really a choice or because you feel as if you can't do anything but THAT.

It's easy to mistake them in the beginnING, but you could say... Love is a slow-burning FIRE, while infatuation just keeps you warm enough for a few NIGHTS.

[starrypoint]

Oh.

[... ... ...

he'll lean against helena more. subaru... has never been infatuated with anyone, he's realizing... but people have been infatuated with him, or what they could get out of him...]

Okay. Yeah, I love them.

[decrypter]

Can't something start as infatuation and lead into love? That your attraction leads you to want to find out more, and once you have, you keep wanting to build with them? You choose them even when the initial warmth fades?

[let's be hopeful here...]

...In any case, you heard it here.

[crystallomancy]

( ........an annoyed look at subaru he's glad helena can't see before he goes back to his pda, hhhhh. )

Whatever you SAY, Baru-kun. Just make sure your "love" doesn't burn YOU.
