[ you can be whatever or whoever you want to be, Jamie... ]

Hm. An artist?

Well. I might be interested, though I sometimes worry about that cat I once saw in my memories. Part of me would feel guilty about not being available for him, if... for some reason he felt connected to me in some way.

But that is not the life I lead now, and I cannot rely on him.

Still. I do not know. He sounds like he might be a high profile, famous kind of person.

[floret]

That's really sweet and loyal of you!
Still, one date's not a contract or anything. It would just be seeing how you get along, you know?
But I guess if you feel weird about it, there's no need to force yourself.

Um.
I don't know about famous or high profile. I mean, I don't actually know who he is.

[ascatic]

It is not, but it... well, if the feeling strikes me? I will contact whomever I need to.

If they are recognized as an artist by more than one person, then they must have some kind of popularity attached. Besides: if they are indeed handsome, perhaps it is their looks that have assisted in being recognized.

But either way? I feel that I might lack the spark that some may look for. Even with my... ah, new look.

[floret]

Ok, well, if you do decide you're interested in finding out more, look for Jirou Hirata's post on Retrospec.

It seems like the idea that he might be popular is a sticking point for you... Is there something you dislike about that?

Also, I don't know what you're talking about. You've totally got a spark! Even without kitty ears!

[ascatic]

Jirou Hirata. Got it.

I like being in my own spotlight. Not that I want it directly pointed at me, but knowing that I have the freedom to be 'out there' or not is liberating. To be famous or popular is to be held to a higher standard by others, when the standards should be set by one's self.

Do I...?

As it comes from you, I will happily accept this.

[floret]

That makes sense...
But I also feel you may be overthinking it a little. I mean, he's an artist, not a movie star... it's kind of a niche fame, you know?

Ah... maybe I said too much...
I'm not sure how to interpret "as it comes from you"...

[ascatic]

Mm... well, we will see.

I simply trust your judgment, Jamie. I do not want my ears to become a focal point, so if you believe I have a spark even knowing me longer than some, then... I am happy.

[floret]

Oh, you don't? Hmmm.
If it ever comes up in the future, like you're about to meet someone for a date and you don't want them to like you just for your ears, I bet there are some hairstyles or accessories you could wear to conceal them temporarily.

[ascatic]

Accessories...

Yes. Perhaps I will wear a slightly larger pair of cat ears to gauge an initial reaction. Then once I can judge accordingly, I can make the reveal of my actual ears.



I am kidding, of course.

But I think for now, I will focus on my job. Regardless of what changes may occur, I must continue to work hard.
