[ ramiel can be found taking a nice stroll down the boardwalk. enjoying the sun and the scenery! they perk up when they see elysia and make a beeline straight for her. ]
Hello! How have you been? [ they're so excited to see her even though it's only been like. a day. ]

[ elysia smiles brightly and holds out a hand, also super excited even if it's only been a day. ]
Better now that I've seen you again. I like seeing more parts of Heaven. How have you been?

[ doesn't really know what to do with that hand for a moment. then holds? ok! ]
I have been busy! [ don't complain about work to the guests???? ] But I'm also having fun getting to know you all.

[ yeah! handholds! she swings their hands a little. ]
Busy? Busy how? I'm willing to listen to all your troubles. [ she doesn't mind hearing any kind of complaint. ] Oh, you and I are the same there. I'm having fun getting to know everyone, too.

Just with trying to keep an eye on you all. It takes up a lot of time now. [ ok ] But it's not a trouble, so it's okay.
Are you getting along with everyone?

You can call us trouble. Some of us are more exuberant than others.
[ honest, sincere. ]
I think I get along with others more than they get along with me.

Some of you keep breaking things or picking fights, and I really wish that you wouldn't. But that's okay. A journey to redemption would be pointless if everyone was already on their best behavior from the start.
[ and. lol. lmao. ] I know the feeling.

How accepting of you. [ it it sincere? is it how they cope? is it both? any answer is valid. ] We are all here to learn, one way or another.
I don't mind it. All I do is keep going back, and eventually, they accept me.
[ or they leave because they're so annoyed. ]

I don't like to reject people right away. And it would be especially bad to do it here and now.
[ given the premise of their job. anyway they nod! persistence is key! ]
That has worked for me too. But I don't like the part in between, when they tell me to go away or get angry.

I'm with you there. You could scold the people responsible. That doesn't mean you don't accept them.
Half the time, they're being shy.
Half the time, they're being shy.
Exactly. Scold them, but also try to understand their point of view. Even if they shouldn't do it, they still had their own reasons. I'd like to hear them.
[ headtilt. ]
You think so?
[ headtilt. ]
You think so?
Understanding is always the crux of it, isn't it? Genuine care opens hearts up faster.
[ she nods. ]
In my experience, at least. If they hated me that much, they'd leave when I approach or try to fight me more.

The same strategies that work on small children work on most people.
[ but. hmmm. ]
Some people don't want to keep pushing when they've already told someone to go away once or twice. I don't know if that's being shy.

We were all small children once.
[ if not in body, surely in mind. ]
People more often have some unspoken or untold hurt, but... I don't think I've met anyone who's truly wanted to be alone. Maybe they don't need many, but everyone I've met.... has always needed at least one.

Not necessarily.
[ anyway, ]
Even people who don't want to be alone will have certain people they just don't like or don't want to be around.

Oh? Do you have a different kind of existence, Ramiel?
[ not anyway. she is sooo curious. ]
Sure, but most people will tolerate you as long as they can tell you care.

[ they shrug! ]
Just being "tolerated" isn't the same as being liked or them being shy.

It opens to the door to it. But I've never stopped trying.
Oh. Me either, mostly. I just think it's different.
[ SO THEY JUST ANNOY PEOPLE KNOWINGLY. ]

We can think differently. It doesn't make either of us wrong. What kinds of people are your favorite?
What kinds of people...?
[ thinking. ]
I suppose that I like smart people. I like people who care a lot and say what they think, and always do what they think is right. What about you?

I like those kinds of people, too. Those with conviction shine in a way that's all their own.
I like thoughtful people, those who try their best, those who are devoted, those who are generous, those who can't help but burn with passion— Most of all, I like those who are beautiful.
[ anyone can be beautiful. everyone can be beautiful. ]

Is beauty valuable? It's just a matter of taste, isn't it?
Sure, but don't you find what you love beautiful? The people you love are beautiful to you even if they aren't beautiful to others.
Or that's how it is with me.
Or that's how it is with me.
I haven't put much thought into beauty before.
But doesn't that mean that you don't like those who are beautiful. Just that those you like become beautiful? Causation is going in the other direction.
