[There's a dull thud as Yuan's journal hits the ground and apparently falls open. This sound is drowned out, though, by the following scream;]

AAAAARGH! WHY ALWAYS THE CURTAINS?!

[The poor man has just returned from a few hours of training in the forest to find that Zoisite had a bit too much fun decorating while he was away. It's not just the curtains, which now have a cheery flower pattern. There's several vases scattered throughout the house and the tablecloth also supports this flora design. Just wait 'till he sees the fuzzy carpet in the living room.]

That doesn't matter.

[fortunefail]

I don't see why not.

[whiporkindness.livejournal.com]

What happens to me doesn't matter as long as I can help everyone else.

[fortunefail]

An attitude like that gets people killed.

[whiporkindness.livejournal.com]

As long as I'm the only one that gets hurt. *Self-preservation? What's that?*

[fortunefail]

Don't think it's that simple. Other people get hurt watching you die.

[whiporkindness.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure anyone here cares about me enough to be upset if something happens to me.

[fortunefail]

I doubt that.

[whiporkindness.livejournal.com]

After all the trouble I caused for them, I'm lucky they don't still hate me.

[fortunefail]

They will if you keep that pathetic attitude. Pull yourself together or nothing will change.

*A bit of coughing.* They have the right to.

[fortunefail]

I never said they don't. I'm saying they don't have to.

[whiporkindness.livejournal.com]

They won't have any reason not to if I don't do anything to make up for my mistakes.

[fortunefail]

Don't you get it? You can't make up for your mistakes if you end up dead. That just implies you ran away.

*Slight intake of breath, he hadn't thought about it that way. However...* Death isn't permanent here.

[fortunefail]

So what? You still end up losing something. Good luck helping people when you've gone blind.

[whiporkindness.livejournal.com]

*A pause.* I hadn't thought about that...

[fortunefail]

Then next time, start thinking things through before making rash decisions.

[whiporkindness.livejournal.com]

Right... *More coughing!*

[fortunefail]

Now focus your attention on recovering before you end up regretting the fact that you missed your chance.

[whiporkindness.livejournal.com]

Alright. Thank you.

[fortunefail]

... You're welcome.

[... Wait. What just happened here? Did he just give someone a peptalk?]
