Nothing being on fire is a clear indication of peace. I am glad that you are not currently dealing with such a predicament.

It does not hurt that much. I had a friend stress-test them as well.

I still do not like the idea of doing things one hundred percent for me, even if I deserve it. Working hard should be its own reward, right?

[livingimpaired]

It would be a difficult one. Stop, drop, and roll seems like a wise decision at that point, but sometimes, people run around in circles instead. I'm mostly smoldering on the ground, so it is fine. Haha.

... I don't know what that means, Leon.

It should be its own reward, yes, but it isn't. After all, what's the point of working hard without having something that you're striving for?

[ascatic]

I believe it is instinctual to run around on fire instead of dropping down and rolling around in hopes of extinguishing it. But if you are smoldering, I would be glad to pour a bucket of water on you.

A customer was very surprised by my acquisitions and decided to tug on them firmly. It was... not great.

I suppose that I usually do not frame it within my own aspirations, but rather of those of my family. Owning a business is something my mother wanted to do for the longest time, but never had the chance to do.

[livingimpaired]

How kind. I may ask for such assistance in the future.

Does not sound it. Want me to look them over to make sure they are not damaged in some unseen way?

My father gave me my restaurant. So it seems we are both living the dreams of others'. But you aren't quite like me, Leon. You still could experience some level of selfishness that is all your own.

[ascatic]

Just let me know when it gets to be too much water. There is probably a fine line between 'on fire' and 'drowning'. And I certainly would not mind some assistance in that regard, they seem to be very sensitive and... oddly flimsy. The skin is so thin and the fur oddly plush.

Perhaps one day I will find a reason to be selfish. Or at least, a better reason.

[livingimpaired]

Of course. I'm not so foolish as to let myself drown when there is someone who could help me.

You sound like you want to be petted, haha.

I shall pray for you.

[ascatic]

Good, good. Never be afraid to hold out a hand, either. I will be happy to take it.

Ah... really? I suppose being pet does not feel awful. It has happened already, and while I am not a creature looking for comfort, it does provide an ample amount.

I am sure there are others who need your prayers more than I do, ahaha.

[livingimpaired]

How kind.

Very well. While giving your new ears a look over, I shall pet you, too. Haha. I want to say this bit joke is a mistake, as well, but if it gives comfort, I won't joke harshly about it.

Maybe. But a few prayers thrown your way won't hurt, right?

[ascatic]

Though I may not be a cat, joking about petting one's ears may earn its ire. Thank goodness I do not have the temperament of one!

... maybe. A few might not hurt.

[livingimpaired]

Oh. I will keep that in mind. For as much as I like how cats hold grudges, I think I should be wise and not start a petting grudge with you.

They certainly won't.

[ascatic]

A petting grudge! Haha, well. As long as you are gentle, no grudges will come your way.

[livingimpaired]

Then I shall be on my best behavior.

[ascatic]

You and me both.

[livingimpaired]

Good, good.

So when will that be? My schedule is, as you know, sporadic and chaotic. But not so chaotic that I cannot skirt some of what I need to do for a few hours.

[ascatic]

How are your weekends? Mine tend to be a little more relaxed than most, as most of my business is made up of students that like studying in the cafe during the normal week.

[livingimpaired]

Easter will be a free day for me. I will leave it up to my employee if he wants to have the shop open on that day, but I will be taking it off. So, seems like a reasonable time to meet, yes?

[ascatic]

It does. I will happy to meet you somewhere for... ah, inspection.

Perhaps by then, my ears will be tougher.

[livingimpaired]

Wherever is fine.
I'm curious about them, if I'm honest.
But saying it like that, makes it sound like you're being dragged off for the black market.
Haha.

[ascatic]

If there is one, then I would hope cat people are not a commodity to be traded.
It sounds... disturbing.
But I suppose there are surprises every day.
Nevertheless, I will be happy to see you again soon.

[livingimpaired]

Haha, doesn't it?

You and a few others can easily say that -- you're happy to see me.
But yes, I shall see you in the afternoon on Easter.
Until then, good luck avoiding having your ears manhandled.
