i'm not grieving

[ The message comes a little more quickly this time. Almost too quickly. ]

that's stupid
who would be doing that

[abit_ofboth]

Oh?

[Loki is pretty sure that even through text, Fabian will pick up that he doesn't believe him.]

You know, it isn't anything to be ashamed of. It is rather normal to be sad when you miss someone you care about.

[maximumlegend]

that isn't normal at all

who told you that it's normal???

[abit_ofboth]

Who told you it wasn't?

I used to think like that. It got me nowhere good. I do not want the same thing to happen to you.

[maximumlegend]

[ There's a slight moment between replies. Mostly because Fabian has to stare at that last line with a baffled expression on his face. What does that even mean? Loki doesn't want the same thing to happen to him? Is that a thing people express???

He snaps himself out of it enough to send back: ]

no one told me it
i just know it because i am smart
i have never seen anyone around me miss someone else
it's not something people do

[abit_ofboth]

[Loki has no idea if that's something people express, but it's something he expresses. He's come too far and changed too much not to try and pass on everything he's learned. Besides, he actually likes Fabian and wants him to know he'll be there if he needs or wants.]

This has very little to do with intelligence. And I can say that I miss people, so someone around you very much has. And I know I am not the only one. I understand not wanting to speak about it, but if by any chance you do, at any time, I am available.

[maximumlegend]

you miss people???

[ Baffled. It's not even Fabian pretending to try and seem tough - not when it comes to this, anyway. He seems genuinely surprised people missing other people is.. something that happens, apparently. Somehow. ]

how

[abit_ofboth]

I do, yes. Do you not? When I cannot see someone I have enjoyed spending time with, knowing I cannot speak with them as I wish to? Yes, I miss lots of people actually.

Have you never wished to see or speak with someone you have not in a long time?

[Loki has met all sorts of people, and seen many more. He has never met anyone who has never missed someone before.]
