5. a trait they’re not ashamed of (but maybe should be)

MxTomieLeave a comment

Saima doesn’t actually mind being able to hold people at a comfortable length from them. After all, it is within their culture to maintain some space at pretty much all times unless with close friends and family.

However, Saima has taken this tendency to extremes that often border on reclusive behavior more than once in their existence. And although ..they know being so self-isolated often exacerbates their depression at times, they are way too used to it to feel much shame about it.

They are trying to change by stepping out of a position that doesn’t fit for them but it remains left to be seen, how do they feel the space left behind of going to those international gatherings or whatever. 

1 and 2?

  1. a trait they have too much of  (ex. too much pride = arrogance)

Probably paranoia. They’ve been hyper-aware of their circumstances and the way certain beings tend to interact with each other, that they do have a solid wariness of the future. It leaves them incredibly distrustful in subtle ways, always doubting the intentions of others. it is this paranoia that has probably contributed to them being able to keep people at a relatively comfortable distance because why bother letting them get too close if they will inevitably betray you. 

  1. a trait they don’t have enough of (ex. too little pride = insecurity)

Too little self-love. They are very self-critical to a point that it is a little worrying to witness. Saima usually downplays this trait but they do have a hard time believing that people think of them in good ways. Or that they are cared about in any way. It often leads them to not act on their feelings and be demotivated from even bothering.

Assuming the worst denies others the opportunity to choose and yet they have this kind of thought process anyway.

3, 4!

  1. a trait they express in the wrong way

Saima is not great at expressing their need for attention from time to time. Which means they don’t do it at all and tends to let their needs fester until they get really sad because of it. And sometimes that leads to a quiet burning need but feeling hopeless as to where and how to seek that out. 

So yeah – they are not very communicative about their wants and they pay the price for that. 

  1. a trait they’re ashamed of

They are embarrassed of how damn secretive that they’ve had to be for so long that it feels like they don’t know if anyone will ever actually know them. They are so good at keep people away at a comfortable distance, that letting anyone close enough to see a lot more of them feels way too alien for them to be bothered with. 

And the streak towards apathy doesn’t really help matters either. 

“Saima,” Lilli came up behind her friend and linked her arm through theirs in a show of familiarity and affection. “Saima, let’s go out for a walk, the two of us. We can go into the city and maybe get some coffee, too.” Lilli hadn’t spent much time with them, lately, and she missed them. A walk would give them plenty of opportunity to catch up and spend time together.

The sudden linking of arms caught them a little off-guard. But seeing that it was Lilli, immediately put Saima at ease. “Oh sure – that sounds like a good time. And coffee is always welcome.” They return a small smile – before making sure they are ready for a walk around town. 

“Guess you would know always where to find me for a good stroll.“

What they define their relationship with your muse as:

“It’s changing but I’d like to say for the better. I’ve coming to be more and more fond of Ivar. And I feel like there’s a way for us to relate to each other which might be mutually beneficial.”

Something they like about your muse:

“He does have a fun sense of humor – although it is a little off-putting initially. Once you know he means well, it’s easier to parse out his meaning and be more endeared by his attitude than anything else.”

Something they dislike about your muse:

“I think he just had a really weird first impression for me personally. Since I had no context to place him.”

Their first impression of your muse:

“He seemed weirdly abrasive in ways I wasn’t sure how to feel. And it did make me feel a little ill at ease because I wasn’t sure what his intentions were. Especially since I am close to someone he’s ..related to and I clearly didn’t want to get on his bad side. ”

Their impression of your muse now:

“Ivar is a rather solid guy. He’s fun, he’s got an interesting outlook on life. He’s kind and unique which i can appreciate. I think there are some things about himself he needs to discover and I.. I kind of want to help him out as much as I can.”

How they feel about your muse:

“I appreciate him, I do think he deserves to have a good existence after everything he’s been through. And I’m glad I got to talk to him more even after a strange first impression.”

Something they are hiding from your muse:

“There’s something about him that does feel.. familiar. Like I’m sensitive to those with some kind of folkloric vibe about them. And he’s slowly starting to give me the sense of that. I’m wondering why exactly that is.”

Something they wish they could to tell your muse:

“The fact that while uncertain, I might have some info about things he’s still figuring out. But.. who knows – existence can be confusing in itself.”

What they define their relationship with your muse as:

“We’re solid friends. I think we ended up having an interesting change in common albeit for very different reasons. I do like hanging out with him, it’s usually a pretty good time.”

Something they like about your muse:
“I find him to be a rather funny individual. And he’s usually pretty considerate about other’s concerns.”

Something they dislike about your muse:

“Sometimes misinterprets what I say. Which is sometimes my fault of wording strangely but has made things a little awkward before.”

Their first impression of your muse:

“…A young ..nation kind? At least he seems like someone to establish relations with.”

Their impression of your muse now:

“A good friend who is a pleasure to be around. I do worry about him from time to time though. ”

How they feel about your muse:

“I just want him to be okay – and I did miss his presence when he wasn’t around. Although I have admittedly be making myself a little scarce at the same time.”

Something they are hiding from your muse:

“The reason I have started to retreat from certain social circles. I’d be glad to explain but… I don’t know if I want to randomly just speak on that sort of thing.”

Something they wish they could to tell your muse:

“How much it did concern me in weird inexplicable ways when Matt just out ran off somewhere for reasons no one could explain. Obviously it was his choice and I respect that 100 percent. But…it’s nice to know he ended up okay.”

What they define their relationship with your muse as:

   ‘Potentially a good friend. I know Jaakko seems to like him quite a bit – it probably does no harm to hang out every so often. ‘

Something they like about your muse:

   ‘He seems to keep in very high spirits a lot of the time. Which sometimes is useful to have around because it’s easy for some people I know and myself to be fairly withdrawn.’

Something they dislike about your muse:

‘…I’ve heard things about encouraging self-destructive behavior. So maybe that.‘

Their first impression of your muse:

‘A good acquaintance to know – perhaps someone who would be useful in the coming years as a close friend. goodness knows how I could use knowing a few people around this area.‘

Their impression of your muse now:

‘Someone there’s still a lot of questions about but..fun, a very genuine guy from what I can tell. Which is nice. I always appreciate someone who is pleasant to be around and relatively upfront. ‘

How they feel about your muse:

‘A pleasant curiosity. A slight familiarity from time to time – but obviously, it’s more of a mutual friends deal here. ‘

Something they are hiding from your muse:

‘Ah. I haven’t exactly gone into detail about my true existence with him. And maybe I should, at least if there is a chance of us being good friends. ‘

Something they wish they could to tell your muse:

‘Maybe reveal more about the experiences without being doubted since my tales might not always fall in line with the height of modern belief so to speak.‘

   “You know, you came into my life – my existence at just the right time. And I’m all the more grateful for having the chance to meet you. I think.. I think we needed to meet each other. It was going to happen at some point in our existence but it needed to happen. There’s definitely a calling for those with that mythos that flows through our entire selves to stick together. Since we have a perspective and a view on life that many can’t really understand. And that often leaves us very lonely on our own. At least… that’s been my experience for a long time. So .. you’re a great person to know Stella. I will do my best to always be there for you because it feels right to go about our kinship in that way.”

“Ah, someone else who dropped out of society for a multitude of reasons. But it’s nice to see you around again friend. Things have changed a lot for both of us since the last time I’ve seen him. You’re a good friend, a good person to be around and I’m going to be honest, I definitely missed your presence. So it’s nice that you seem to be popping up around more and I feel like I have a lot I should probably confess to you when we get the chance to catch up. ”

  “A dear friend, a darling individual. There is something about Virote that is very kind, and very open. And he has a sense of self that feels very rare among people. Which I can appreciate, it makes me feel better about being around him. It’s still incredibly thoughtful of him to get me that food – which was absolutely delicious. I look forward to speaking with him more because I feel like there’s a lot of really interesting interactions we could have.”
