[ what a fucking day, bro. pure vanilla can find him at the beach a while after execution wraps up, wading through the water. also, because his icons don't really show it, he is a little dragonish and would have been when pvc arrived as well if i could remember this ever
[What a fucking day, indeed! He would have thought the man has horns, but now that his staff is back, he can see the dragon features as they are. Wowza.]
[He will, however, wave back as he walks closer.]
Leng Feng. I...could be better. [He's getting better at this being honest with people about his feelings thing.]
Oh, that? It's just... when you said you kept failing people, it sounded a bit like you were just assuming they'd think the worst of you. But I don't think your friends wouldn't be so quick to label you a failure.
It's not like you can just stop yourself from thinking things like that sometimes... but a reminder now and then to talk to them if something's bothering you instead of assuming they're upset doesn't hurt, does it?
[ his expression is a little sad at hearing that, but the smile doesn't drop. ]
I'm glad you had them. And you're right - you aren't alone here, either. I don't know how long you'll have with them again while we're here, but I don't doubt they'll be happy to see you again when you can.
We're not all blood-related, but yes. There are a lot of us, but usually we don't leave the Still Seas, so humans in our world don't see much of us, either.

Yeah, it hasn't been an easy weekend. Especially for you and Rui, I'd guess. [ sympathetically. ] I can only imagine how it's felt.
Do you want to talk about it? Or would you like to think about something else?
no subject
[A long sigh.]
It's all I can think about. I ran into distractions for long enough. [...] What did you mean, before? About...faith in my friends?

Ah...well...when you put it that way, its unfair to think, isn't it?

[He feels a little better, now.]
At home...I was pulled out of a very dark place by my friends and their belief in me. The same can be here, too. I don't want to let them worry.

[He smiles brightly.]
Though I have never met you in person...I just want to say, you're truly so very kind. I'm sure everyone is grateful for you being here.
no subject
I... Thank you. I just try to support everyone in whatever way I can. [ ... ] You've been trying to do that, too, haven't you?
no subject
As best as I can, yes! But I am only one Cookie. It is when we are together that we are even stronger.

[A little pause, and then a curious:]
I wanted to ask. Are you a dragon?
no subject

no subject
Really? [ ... ] I guess it isn't surprising that they keep to themselves. My clan usually does, too.
no subject
Oh wow! A whole clan?
