[he nods a little, sighing.]

People are really complicated sometimes. [it's just one of those strange complexities of humans that never really occurred to him again. another layer of things for him to figure out, even if he knows mary means well by explaining it to him.

but that doesn't make it any less frustrating when none of it comes naturally to him.]

[immobileyes]

... Sorry. I didn't mean to make things confusing for you.

[coexistent]

No... it's okay. It's confusing, but...

I want to be able to understand these things. [he's shaking his head a little and giving her a look of conviction.] Before... I didn't have anyone to tell me what it was like. So... I'm happy for it.

[immobileyes]

Even if it's still confusing? I don't really know how to explain things so you can understand them.

[ As much as she wants to. ]

[coexistent]

Even if it's still confusing. If you don't know... I'll ask someone who might. But still... it gives me something to think about. I don't have many other ways to learn that kind of stuff anyway.

[immobileyes]

... Yeah, I guess you're right. There are a lot of things I still want to learn about, too.

[ And she wants to try and understand more about Roxas. ]

[coexistent]

I guess... the only way we can learn is by asking things, right?

[:D ...?]

[immobileyes]

Right. Sometimes it makes more sense than reading things in a book.

[ SOMETIMES. ]

[coexistent]

Yeah... I guess there's a big difference between things people write and what actually happens.

[kind of full circle to their conversation about the fairy tales.]

[immobileyes]

... Like with the Beast and Beauty and the ones you know.

[ Yep, she gets it now. ]

[coexistent]

Yeah, exactly. I never really thought about it until now, but I guess that's what it's like.
