*Sighs and gets up*
Okay. Do you think she'll get mad if I bring my notepad?

@Legend

I have no idea. As long as you're genuine, I think it'll be fine.
*Looks at a clock*
Might also be a good idea to let her calm down a little more. Do you want me to talk to her first or after you?

*Pauses my writing*
And... you really think I need to apologize?

@Legend

I think it would be a good thing if you did. I won't force you, since an insincere apology isn't worth much. But I think it's at least worth talking through it and getting her side of things in a less upset way.

*Sighs and starts scribbling notes down in my orange, black-accented journal*
I know this is a test. I'm gonna pass it like usual.

@Legend

*Smiles*
That's one way to look at it, good luck.

If you don't know the answer, it's got to be one of those unsolvable problems.

@Legend

You have way too much faith in my abilities, or way too little in your own. I don't doubt that you can figure it out.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Wait, how am I supposed to figure out what you would do when you don’t even know?

@Legend

You should be figuring out what you want to do. Emulating me won't help in this situation.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Those are the very best puzzles.

@Legend

Then I wish you the best of luck.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

MmmmmMMMM...
*Pinches the bridge of my nose*
That's going to be hard. Can you make it in the form of a puzzle?

@Legend

Interpersonal relationship are often a puzzle.
Hmm...
I'll be honest, I'm sort of blanking here. It's hard to make a puzzle when you don't know the best way to solve it beforehand.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

...What would you say to her if you were in my shoes?

@Legend

Hmm... Well, I'd start with an apology for making her upset, though it won't mean anything if it's not genuine. Then I'd probably ask a bunch of questions to try to understand her point of view, and figure things out from there. But, that's me. You're you.
*Smiles at you*
I believe in you, and I know you can figure out what you should do on your own, whatever that might be.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

But your opinion is most important. Can't you go and tell her to not be so upset about it?

@Legend

Stella... My opinion isn't more important, just in general, and especially not during conflict between other people. Once she's had a bit of time, I think you should go talk to her, calmly, and see if you two can figure out how each other feels about this.

Do you think I cheated?

@Legend

*Thinks a moment*
Personally, I don't think you cheated, per se. I think it was unsporting to rely on something that Dawn couldn't, and I can see why she would consider it cheating. But in a situation like this, I don't really think that my opinion matters. What matters is what the two of you think.
