Idle curiosity, but who here has taken it upon themselves to learn any new skills since they've showed up here?

I've been teaching myself to cook, but I really consider that more of a practical thing and less something that I picked up for the sake of learning, you know?

The thought crossed my mind to learn another language, but we all kind of did that already, didn't we? I suppose I could teach someone instead, but if you want to take me up on the offer, there's sadly not enough orcs here for you to practice with.

( it does. )

why would you want to make your romantic situation ambiguous like that?

( unfortunately, Steak is a jerk. )

[ yeah he's fed up with this. ]

Alright.

I've had some very serious issues regarding my own sense of self-worth that have made it difficult for me to say anything definitively, and as a result I sound unsure of absolutely everything because for the longest time growing up, I'd been terrified of being wrong and causing offense.

[ He had a somewhat strict upbringing and very few real friends or really anyone to latch onto. ]

In recent years the underlying issues have been addressed at least somewhat, but old habits die hard.

god i'm so sorry about him he's just terrible at this

( well. not that Steak's sure what he expected from that question, but it sure wasn't that. )

that wastes a lot of energy. there's no reason to be frightened of such things.

( easy for you to say, Steak. you just roll with the punches. )

I didn't say any of this made sense, but look, I was a child when all these problems with my self-image started brewing.

( Steak's not sure he'll ever understand people and their hang ups on things like this. just... don't have problems??? simples??? )

so? you're not a child any more.

( Steak... )
