[action/anon text] - Struggles - 020 [Backdated to afternoon of 4/2]
Gnomeday, Gnome Redecan 02, ND 2018
[The first thing Guy noticed upon waking up was how unbelievably sore he was.
The second? The barrier on Zelda's bed was gone. He could easily tell - he'd sprawled out a bit as he started to wake up, mixed up in the covers and the remains of the uniform he had last remembered wearing. He hummed wearily, giving a confused and clouded glance around the room as he propped himself to his elbows.
Had he fallen into a coma again? Guy grimaces, rubbing a crick in the back of his neck. He'd left Zelda here alone like this again, of all times? Damn it. How long had he been out?
Worrying wasn't going to help matters, though. He heaves himself out of bed, stretching his arms above him, straightening his back, and adjusting his clothes enough so that he could wander the house without being too embarrassed coming across another housemate (if they were awake by now.) He pads across the floor with bare feet, descending the staircase about halfway before finally bother to call out.]
"...Zelda? Hey, are you around...?"
----
[It's only after he' had a good share of time to talk to Zelda and get his bearings that Guy finally picks up his SFC, opting to keep himself anonymous this time around. There was too much that had happened while he was gone. It would just be nice to get a general sense of the city, if anything else.]
Breaking the ice around strangers is pretty hard, isn't it? I know we all have to do it all the time around here, with everyone coming and going. But it doesn't make it any easier.
Some people take to it easier than others, though. And I'm sure some of you have learned ways to interact with a new person just by being in this crazy place.
So tell me, Vatheon. How would you treat a stranger?

You should be proud
[anon]
[anon]
You're compassionate. It's a strength.

Having someone compassionate around means that there will always be someone to rely on. Maybe that they don't have to feel alone or like they are being ignored, especially if they happen to be hurting.
It's important to have someone with compassion in your life. I think those around you should feel lucky.
[anon]
Even though you say not everyone would help a stranger, I have met a lot of people here who helped me so much I could never thank them enough.
[anon]
It doesn't mean that it's not important, though. Even now, you're putting other people before yourself. It's just how you are. It shouldn't be a burden.
[anon]
[anon]
Just know that it's all right to appreciate yourself as who you are. That even if you have weaknesses, you also have strengths. And that it's an excellent thing to remember that every once in a while.
[anon]
...
I'll try to remember about that.
[anon]
Thank you for talking, Ruca.
[anon]
And you are...?
[anon]
Don't worry about it.

Wouldn't have said so if I wasn't sure.

...I should've never doubted you.

Hide? Nah.
Sometimes people just give different answers if they know who they're talking to.

I was just curious.
[And trying to hide from someone. But that wasn't important!]
