[ There's a sound from him. Maybe it is one of defeat, who can say.
But, Dainsleif does gently pepper more food down, with a lot of precise calculation despite doing it swiftly. Maybe he is good at feeding strays or animals sometimes on his journeys. ]
...I can't believe you just compared me to a deadbeat absent father. Naturally, I'm proving that this is untrue.
Frankly, sometimes I really do wonder about why you all can be so determined about not being honest with yourselves and others. Why hide? What are you so afraid of exposing?
If you embrace and live by your instincts you wouldn't have to try to come up with such sad excuses on the spot.
[ Harsh, but Dainsleif thinks it is refreshing when someone is so...honest. He lets out a sigh, but responds nonetheless. ]
You're right.
I will also say that I do have reasons to consistently need to hide myself, so I am unused to being so open, unfortunately. It might be that I won't ever learn to live by my instincts except for in my dedicated hunt towards my enemies.
...Who are the exact type to exploit the knowledge they have on others, to their advantage.
I think that a lot of the time, it's precisely because you want things to remain secret that they can be in turn exploited.
[ Something you desperately don't want others to know... it'd have much lesser leverage over you if someone were to find out and threaten to out it, no?
But whatever. She knows that isn't the only scenario out there. ]
Not always, of course. But oftentimes people do create their own problems by overcomplicating it.
[ Dainsleif can talk about himself well enough, though there are some elements of himself that are kept closer to his chest than not. Still, he hears the comment and thinks upon it nonetheless. ]
That can be true.
I suppose that whether it is an issue of a situation being overcomplicated or complicated will only be in the hands of reality. It feels even in this where such a thing seems obvious, I have to wonder if it's really going to be like that most of the time.
[ Spot the overthinker. But, he has unfortunately fallen into as many a number of Abyss Order related traps as he has disabled them. ]

weakness. You fool, Dainsleif. ]
Oh? Now, why don't I believe you, hmm?
Come here. Don't you want to feed them yourself, instead of being a deadbeat absent father?

See? No problem at all feeding them.

[ There truly is no winning, is there. She heard that sound. Ah, to toy with one's prey. ]
You seem to be quite practiced with this kind of thing. Have a habit of feeding soft, fluffy things, sight unseen?
no subject
I don't know where you got that idea.
[ Truly proving that Dainsleif is absolutely terrible with normal interaction. Society is such a far removed concept for him, at times... ]
Perhaps, I so happen to pass such animals on my journeys, and I don't go out of my way to feed them. I would consider it only incidental.
[ This is why he could never be one of those talkers in a public presentation about normal things. He's practically embarrassing himself... ]

[ He's so earnest and bad at lying. It's sweet. One of her favorite types of people.
(All the while, the bunnies are being fed and petted...) ]
Not everyone would decide to feed the animals they pass even incidentally, you know?
no subject
However, bunnies are nowhere near such fearsome beings. And his dorm mates...are dorm mates, so it is what it is. ]
...A shame that was the most convincing sentence I could think of in the moment.
As it is, you are correct. [ ... ] I don't know what else to say to this...
