My dear Citizens of Hadriel,

I'm glad to see that our circumstances haven't prohibited you from forming bonds with each other. On the other hand, aren't those same bonds difficult to navigate at times? I'm not only speaking of romantic bonds, either. Sexual, familial, bonds of camaraderie...

And I've no doubt our predicament is a unique stressor that can strain those bonds as well. And so many of you are suffering in silence. And it isn't just the present bonds, either, is it? Many of you are shadowed by your pasts, as well.

I want to offer myself as a supportive shoulder. If you've been seeking a second opinion, or advice, or anything of the sort, please, consider this an open invitation.

I care not to find out about your secrets; if you'd prefer to speak privately or anonymously, I will not begrudge you, nor doubt the sincerity of your claim.

I only seek to provide succor to those who have been needing it. Love can be...rather difficult to talk about it, can't it?

i guess
but it sure isnt me
youre gonna end up burned if you keep giving away your time for free out here
lotsa people to take advantage of you

[vocarrah]

Perhaps. But it's a risk I'm willing to take, I suppose. I'm not entirely blind.

And besides. There are people like you who are kind, aren't there?

people like me who are kind?
people like me who came on here to call you a weirdo for putting yourself out there?
how do ya figure that one
because i took the time to be understanding about gay shit???
seriously dude
pretty sure the people who know me wouldn't describe me as a 'kind guy' i can tell ya that

[vocarrah]

My apologies. Perhaps I read your schadenfreude as concern.

That said, I doubt you'd be one of those taking advantage, so I appreciate it as it is. If you're not kind at the very least you're not an utter bastard, perhaps.

[He does have a rather good opinion of Taako, based on their brief interactions at the very least.]
