[ The funny thing about growing up in the circumstances she grew up in is that it gives you a curious sense of pride - what hurts it, what doesn't. You bend or you die. Kitty's a survivor, and so she's learned to bend without remotely compromising her sense of self. So this is easy: ]

All right; sorry.

[glowsferatu]

[ It's just such a shame she's having to bend for someone so insufferably tedious. ]

this is about understanding
that means it needs to be sure that a mutual understanding is shared between us both
what are you sorry for

[rathercommon]

[ ...Seriously? Fine. ]

I am sorry that we've had miscommunications so often. I'm sorry that I haven't had enough patience to really sit down and understand your context and your situation. I'm still trying to learn how to comprehend and accept all beings, and I'm not there yet. But I would like to get better.

[ There. Not a single embittered Though I'd like to note that you've never tried to understand me, either. Nor, It might have helped if you hadn't deliberately thrown up every single barrier to understanding you possibly could. Just the apology. Kitty is being grown-up today. ]

[glowsferatu]

[ At least the effort won't amount to nothing. ]

and for my part i apologize that ive treated you as ignorant
and let my own impatience get the better of me instead of more respectfully meeting your ideas
no matter how naive i may have considered them
my behavior has in no way been excusable

[rathercommon]

[ Okay, that loosens a lot of the tension and tames a lot of her anger. She lets out a breath and responds a lot more naturally, a lot less stiffly. ]

No. In a lot of ways, I am terribly ignorant. Where I come from, they designed every aspect of our educations to just make us swallow propaganda and be hateful and xenophobic and fearful. I work hard and read a lot to try to overcome that, so it makes me furious when people act like I can't. So I've lost my temper with you a lot. I'm sorry for that.

So we'll move on from it, yeah?

[glowsferatu]

to be perfectly honest ive been rather a terrible bitch
perhaps more to you than most others
so losing your temper with me cant be solely blamed on you
ive done a poor job of being someone to be gotten along with
even the circumstances that might explain it do nothing to excuse it
that much is on me

i think moving on from it is probably the best course to take
in fact
something happened to me today that has made me think that i have quite a lot of things to move on from
incessant bitchiness especially

[rathercommon]

Yeah? What is it that happened?

[glowsferatu]

i believe ive mentioned before that my species is extinct
but last night i was given very tangible evidence that we may not be foreever
as long as im successful in my duties
