–✫ ❝ wait. what’s that s’posed to mean…? ❞ [ she feels like there’s underlying meaning to that last sentence ] [ now she’s like DID YOU JUST INSULT ME ]
[was it an insult? Not necessarily, although it might have been a bit blunt of an observation. Instead, they opt to return to a more neutral stance as to be expected.]
“It means that I suppose it’s not surprising that you gave up on consistency when your circumstances are comparatively quite different. It’s just not realistic to expect the same things out of people who resulted in very different statuses – being all over the place versus very contained. Naturally, it results in not being able to expect consistency in any way. Varying ways of growing up I guess lead to varying perspectives. ”
–✫ ❝ OK, but like… YOU’RE estonia. ❞ [ gestures towards all of them ] –✫ ❝ n’ i’m, like… the united states. big difference. i feel so all over the place all the time! ❞
[ jesus christ jackie ]
[Just kind feeling this combination of completely not surprised and yet outdone at the same time..]
“…Right. Obviously, the circumstances are different for you – significantly so even. Makes plenty of sense that you’d be feeling all over the place really. In that case, it’s really up to you what you want to make of this situation then.”
[And now it’s perfectly clear why Jackie doesn’t have a consistent social life. ]
“Suppose it’s no wonder you gave up on consistency long ago. It doesn’t seem too possible in a case like yours.“
[ugh the pressure of it all. Saima gives a little bit of a sigh.]
“I mean, I’ve had the same best friend for like ages despite everything we’ve had to deal with so. I don’t know if that counts for anything but I’d like to think it does. “
“But I do acknowledge how relatively rare it is to maintain that sort of thing being who we are.“
–✫ ❝ oh please. only in our imagination. i stopped believin’ in consistency a loooong time ago. ❞
“Perhaps so. But as unlikely as it is, I suspect it’s possible to have a few somewhat reliable things. Still, maybe it’s best to just roll with the fleeting nature of everything.”
–✫ ❝ you got a pride you’re goin’ to, bud? ❞ – she inquired, with some excitement to her tone. she really hoped they had some plans. if not, she’d invite them along with her.
“The one I go to isn’t until July this year. So currently, no plans. ” They give a casual shrug. They were looking forward to pride being in their capital but it was still a bit of a wait.
–✫ ❝ i know i already said somethin’ for pride but i’ll do it again because i love all y’all lgbt folks. HAPPY PRIDE from a proud pansexual!!! i hope your month is great! n’ if you’re closeted, happy pride to you too we ain’t leavin’ y’all out! ❞
“And a happy Pride to you too Jackie.” Saam returns a smile, just glad to share in the joy that so many seemed to be expressing these days.
Saamuel thinks for a moment before responding. “I’m inclined to agree with you about the ocean. Although I love the sea, it fascinates me – it actually reminds me of home a lot. But I think it is scarier because of how little we know about it despite it being practically all around us. Space is just full of wonder which is another thing that I adore. I’m not really scared of that though.”
