My hands were a lot rougher at one point. Sleeping for several years softened them up considerably, but yes- I get what you mean.

Perfection is impossible to attain, no matter how hard one tries.

[He smirks back at her.]

I suppose on some level this is true.

I told you, I have forgiven you.

One can miss so many wonderful things in life...just by holding an obsessive grudge.

You are a wonderful person, and I really would like to get to know you. The real you, Jane.

[He just leans closer to her.]

I think you're wonderful. Don't sell yourself short.

[identity profile] old-papa-john.livejournal.com 2009-07-06 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
I don't care about that. I'm just looking to get to know you better and I am happy to take whatever that entails- adventurous or not.

[He smiles at her.]

Yes. I think I will manage.

Hmm...'good things'.

That may be a little more difficult, then.

I don't see what you see in me.

But, I have been told that I am my own worst critic.

[He shrugs.] So I will have to take your word for it.

...

[He gets very quiet, glancing away, modestly. He's already started blushing a bit. He's so much better at giving praise and compliments than taking them.]

Hmm... [He shifts uncomfortably in his seat.]

[identity profile] old-papa-john.livejournal.com 2009-07-06 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
No...not at all.

[He tilts his head back and closes his eye.]

[identity profile] old-papa-john.livejournal.com 2009-07-06 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[He's already finished both of his beers and is looking into getting another. He hefts himself up and out of his chair.]

Need anything while I am up?

[identity profile] old-papa-john.livejournal.com 2009-07-06 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[John nods.] Right.

[He wanders off to get a beer for himself.]

[identity profile] old-papa-john.livejournal.com 2009-07-06 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[He grabs himself a beer and cracks it open, taking a few swings on his way back. He's got himself a half-empty can already. Maybe he should cut back...one day.]

hnh [He flops back down in his chair with a soft moan.]

LOL - TRUE
