I write Leslie as extremely manipulative so if that ever comes across as uncomfortable to anybody please let me know! I will immediately tone it down!
Because you are twisting my phrasing to something hostile and working yourself up over it, that's how.
Take some deep, long breaths. You're letting anger get into your head and cloud your thinking.
I really wasn't freaking out, and I didn't snap at you, not in the slightest.
how are you going to tell ๐ ๐ that ๐๐ taking it the wrong way, huh?! they are ๐๐ feelings. thatโs totally not cool, like at ALL.
iโm glad youโre teaching me stuff and all, but that doesnโt mean you get to decide how i should feel about things.
Oh. Yeah.
( Pleasantly surprised he was so willing to go around with such subjects despite Leslie not really getting to ramble much on those topics to him. )
( Perhaps humanity was growing easier to sink digits into the minds of โ or perhaps he was just exceptionally โด
shouldnโt take long then.
( hands stuff into pockets, gazing elsewhere momentarily. )
what do you want to talk about in the meantime, sales and advertisements .แฃ
Oh, Kyle. It's not hostility, it's simple honesty. You're taking it the wrong way.
( An attempt to make him second-guess himself even if right about the abrupt passive aggressiveness from the ad. )
I'm happy to have taught you something, and in future, I can teach you โด
( her sudden hostility towards him left a bitter taste in mouth, even if he knew it was an attempt to get him to stop poking around. )
hey! i was just watching out for you, thereโs no reason to be so rude, dude!
i actually learned a ton from you too.
Pfโ haha. I am not silently "freaking out."
( Airing quotation marks. )
You're just looking too deep into nothing. You know you do that a lot, don't you.แฃ
You need to learn to loosen up. Stop concerning over the tiniest things so much. That's how you hold your joy back.
You have finally made a breakthrough, congratulations.
( Playful sarcasm laced throughout tone, piercing blue irises rolling at that. )
( Pausing, a silence lingering on the ads end for just a moment. Slow shakes of the head. )
โด
yeah! i guess i can be my own person with my own sense of self. woah, thatโs crazy..
( a hand shoots up to the back of his head as he laughs off his stupidity. awkwardly. [it took him ๐ฉ๐๐๐จ long to figure out he can be his own personโ?]
after settling ,his attention

I would say not at all, but that question depends on who you ask.
Perhaps your friends can be one thing, and something else can be another thing you can find joy in.
( Few rapid blinks, not even realising she had been fidgeting. It was a habit of hers. )
โด
haha, yeah! iโve always been super curious and talkative. sorry, is it too much?
but as much as i enjoy spending time with my friends, i feel like my happiness shouldnโt depend on others, you know?
( her demeanor turns uneasy, once again swaying him to ask
