[Issei looks... tired, mostly.]

Does anyone here work as a therapist? I imagine if none of us have taken that position, then none of the locals will be able to provide advice on 'I was a normal high school student, and in the space of a month I've fought for my life, awakened a spirit from my mind to help keep my best friend from being stupid, and ended up as Alexander the Great's vassal by accident' without assuming that I'm completely insane.

I'm not saying that I'm not completely insane. I just would prefer if it wasn't assumed.

Help me, someone. Just someone, please understand why it's difficult to go from a life where my most troublesome task is getting the student council to do their work to this.

I can imagine that adjusting to things like this is certainly difficult.

[He wasn't exactly used to being the one doing the summoning of spirits, at least.]

If it is any consolation, you seem to be handling it well.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I don't think it would be helpful if I broke from stress. I have to at least manage that much.

[croibhristeoir]

I don't know if I can provide much as far as advice goes, but I am more than willing to listen if that's the kind of help you require.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I may call upon that offer in the future.

[croibhristeoir]

Glad to hear it. I could hardly turn away someone seeking help, after all.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I feel that I should be the one offering it, as a monk - but I am completely out of my depth.

[croibhristeoir]

I think I might be at least a little less out of my element, so I don't mind helping whenever necessary.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I'm sure of that. Thank you, Lancer.

[croibhristeoir]

It's nothing worth gratitude. I'm only doing what I believe is right.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Helping people is almost always right - but gratitude is nice to receive, isn't it?

[croibhristeoir]

...

I suppose it would be nice, yes.

[Especially with how rarely he seemed to receive it.]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Then we shouldn't turn it away when it's offered.

[croibhristeoir]

Perhaps not, but it seems strange to accept it for something so minor.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

If it's offered freely, why not?

[croibhristeoir]

I guess I can't really turn it down, at this rate.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Excellent. I wouldn't have let you.

[croibhristeoir]

You're the kind of person that gets called 'stubborn' rather often, aren't you?

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Oh, absolutely. [He certainly doesn't mind that title.]

[croibhristeoir]

Hm. I wonder how I ever guessed that.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Intuition, I'm sure.

[croibhristeoir]

My intuition is fairly excellent, or at least I believe it is.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I won't argue that, Lancer.
