[ There has been a great deal of things that Sasuke has learned about in the few weeks he's been here just from talking to new people. All of them have been extremely confusing concepts, like therapy and the idea that people take care of children when they don't have anyone else to take care of them.

Some of these conversations where he's learned things have ended in more questions than answers. He could ask for more clarification from the few he's already made contact with, but the more possible answers he can get, the better. He thinks.

He hopes.

This could be a mistake. ]

How would you suggest someone improve their communication skills?

If your go to response is "talk to people", spare me. I'm only interested in more thorough answers.

Easy fix. I can get you one. I have like ten around my place.

(Dirk is only mildly stressed out at the idea of how this dude gets ready every morning. But also he was used to Jake doing the bare minimum of everything. Guys are a hot mess.)

Why do you have so many mirrors?

[givehead]

Because I am incredibly attractive.

[retsuden]

[ ... He feels like he should have expected that somehow... ]

Wait to give me one until I have a better place to put it. Unless a travel-sized mirror will do.

[givehead]

I have a compact mirror you can use in the meantime. Might be a good idea to keep one on you so you can help amp yourself up for conversations.

[retsuden]

I have to amp myself up?

[givehead]

Might have to. I know a few in-person conversations I've had before I had to work it up. Especially important conversations that you don't want to fuck up.

[retsuden]

I see. That makes sense. I will keep this mirror in mind for that purpose at the very least, then.
