I have an unfortunate problem. It is called "speaking before thinking."

[aididitmyway]

That much is obvious. You fit in with almost everyone here, except most people act before they think.

[afineknight]

It is my fatal flaw!

[aididitmyway]

You'd think our resident doctor would be more careful.

[afineknight]

Ha.

[ a beat. ]

In all seriousness, I try to be positive. Because otherwise, the world would have beaten me down by now.

[aididitmyway]

... That's more of what I was like back home.

[afineknight]

Sometimes, that is all you can do.

[aididitmyway]

As long as you don't lie to yourself too, though.

Even if it's the only way to function.

[afineknight]

. . . no, some would say that I am too hard on myself.

[aididitmyway]

Mm...

I am, too. But I lied a lot, too, back home.

[afineknight]

[ There's a long pause.

and then, he nods. ]

Yeah. It doesn't help.

[aididitmyway]

It doesn't, no.

[... she sighs, though]

[afineknight]

I'd never— outright lie then, but lying by omission is still a lie.
