If our interaction is anything to go by then you're very good at it.

[He truly admires that.]

[floralias]

I love people very much!

[pinkblinded]

I do too. But, you're honestly better equipped to handle them than I am. Being unable to remember their faces can make things challenging for me unfortunately.

[floralias]

I can't imagine.

(( But the thought of Gaura getting deprived of interactions he loves because of it makes Will pout a little. ))

[pinkblinded]

I'm just glad that I have friends like you. Who are able to be there for the moments I probably can't be.

[floralias]

(( Will reached over and laid a hand on Gaura's arm. ))

I'll be here for you whenever I can, Gaura. That's what friends are for.

[pinkblinded]

You know, I never had friends before this place. Not really. People wouldn't be able to handle that I couldn't remember their faces.

[He smiles fondly at Will.]

I've met so many beautiful people here and I'm grateful for that.

[floralias]

You just didn't meet the right people.

(( The pout on his face is audible. It's just rude that people didn't want to be friends with such a sweet person as Gaura. ))

Is that why your fiance wears that flower all the time? So you know it's him?

[pinkblinded]

[His cheeks color and he bows his head a little before nodding.]

Yes. I told him about my condition and he started wearing that for me so I could always find him. He's been doing that since before we got engaged actually.

[floralias]

(( Poor Gaura is going to end up with a puddle of melted Fae instead of a guest! ))

That's so sweet!

[pinkblinded]

I don't think he always believes it of himself but he had a very kind and generous heart when he gives himself a chance. I'm very honored that I get to see it every single day.

[floralias]

Sometimes people have the worst self-image. They feel like small things they don't like about themselves are much bigger issues than they are, so they end up overshadowing the good traits. It makes me a little sad to see it.

[pinkblinded]

That's true. I've not thought of that before. I hope you can get to know Henry at some point though. He really has a very beautiful soul.

[floralias]

I would like that a lot. I can tell he's very special to you, and that makes me want to get to know him even more.

[pinkblinded]

He really is very special to me. You'll probably interact with him a great deal if he makes the deliveries of the supplies.

[floralias]

I look forward to it! I'm so glad he's helping.

[pinkblinded]

I didn't even realize he wanted to so badly. But he even learned to ride a bicycle so that way he could.

[floralias]

Aw! That's so sweet! You two have a real partnership going on. It's so beautiful to witness.

[pinkblinded]

We're not the only ones. I've seen how you and yours are together. It's wonderful to witness.

[floralias]

They key is viewing relationships as actual partnerships, I think. Treating your lover as an equal is very important and I think there are a lot of people who get that wrong.

[pinkblinded]

That's true. I've seen it for myself in the past. Truly if more would just treat their partners as such then perhaps there'd be less heartbreak in the world.

[floralias]

The other thing, I think, is remembering that your partner is a whole person without you. They have their own inner world. Their whole point in existence isn't just to be your partner. That's just one role they play.

[pinkblinded]

[That makes him smile so warmly as he thinks about Henry with his studies and how invested he gets in them.]

I love that Henry is his own person with his own passions and interests. When we met we'd spend hours on the couch or in his room and he would just tell me all about the things he'd been reading or learning. It would often go so long that I'd fall asleep and he'd just make sure I was warm and safe.

We still do that and I treasure every moment of watching him just as himself. It's breathtaking whether I can see the emotions or not. Because they're always in his voice and always have been.

[floralias]

That's so sweet! He has his studies, you have your garden and your baking.

(( Will wiggles a little at the mention of Gaura's sweet treats. ))

I have a feeling you two are going to have a very happy marriage.

[pinkblinded]

[His smile got so big and his cheeks colored to show how happy he is about that statement.]

I hope so. I truly love making him happy.
