little interaction between Duali and @mizzstromalarkey?
“You know we’re not the same, right? We will never be. You may be born of negativity, but the shit I’ve been through would make you fuckers shake in those boots of yours. Sorry sister, can't shoot these kinds of problems away with those peashooters of yours.” Mizztro dismissed, rolling his eyes under his mask-face, mocking her with his fingers as his tail flicks impatiently.
“It’s true, we’re not the same. Even if we are both byproducts of hurt, be it general or of our own, and have issues with ourselves, we deal with it differently. Where I love others openly to a point of smothering them in the hope that I might learn to love myself better, you insult and tease others as a way of showing you love them with out letting them get too close, for one two reasons: either you think you don’t deserve love back, or someone you trusted hurt you and you’re afraid they’ll join them.” Duali explained, eyes drooping with a certain sadness.
“Why do you act like you know me? Seriously, what would make you think you could relate to me? Everybody tries that shit, you're not special.” Mizztro snapped, almost as if to cut her off, tapping his tail frustratedly, but afraid to like her in the eye. Normally he would have went off on someone reading him like that, but there was something different about hearing this from an intelligent negati and not the great Balan who has it all figured out, as if he knew she was right…
“Because I knew someone like you, kinda. I haven’t seen him in a long time, but… I can’t stand to see someone slip down such a well of self-loathing like I was. I couldn’t know your pain, but I do know all that hating yourself, that feeling like you're dirty or wrong, I know it hurts, and I know it's gotta go somewhere. It's better than falling and succumbing to the well” Duali murmured, almost getting ready to cry. Mizztro gritted his teeth, clutched his arm and coiled his tail around his leg, but then shook his head, brushing his bangs to compose himself.
“Well maybe you should’ve slipped faster, I wonder how you swim.” Mizztro sighed with a smile. Duali opened her mouth as if to scold him, but remembered what she said about this act of his and smiled.
“Now that’s not funny.” she giggled, resting her hands on her hips with her shoulder cocked in a playful manner.
"Why not? I thought it was." he chuckled.
