[color=f26522]"And if you're obsessed with the furthest goal, you'll be blinded to the obstacles in front of you"[/color] It wasn't that Aeschel had no drive to go up and beyond to succeed, he'd be excited to strive for the best results he could attain. But he wasn't going to tear himself apart just for not being the best at everything. Just better than one particular person. [color=f26522]"Sometimes it's best to just be doing it right. I mean, my parents always said 'You don't reinvent the wheel, you just make it rocket-powered'. Then again, my parents strap each other to chairs to test their latest creations on each other. Last time I saw 'em, my mother was whipping out a flamethrower after dowsing my Father in alcohol. So, not the most stable individuals; but they have their nuggets of wisdom"[/color]

[color=f26522]"Beleive me, looking at you she'd just rope you into it. She'll cause boils swelling in parts of your body only the craziest of sailors dare to probe"[/color] As he talked, Aescel began to scratch his left leg, memories coming back. Looking up at her as she made a sinister grin, Aeschel's thought immediately found humor in imagining a child version of her with a high pitched squeak yelling 'I'll tell my mommy on you!'. It made him unintentionally chuckle. Though it dissappeared when she gave him a clear cut answer. [color=f26522]"No, no, you're not scary. You're very nice to talk to"[/color] Aeschel's more more alarmed tone made it clear that he was more scared of being rude to her than the possiability of angering her and causing bodily harm to him. Manners over personal safety. [color=f26522]"You're awesome. I just... Don't to burden you, it'd be rude and disingenous. You shouldn't force yourself to talk to some dumb stranger who's only interesting trait is talking about greese and metal work"
