[monochromatically]

[ Mono is getting serious now. It’s been months and the kid realizes he probably has made this more complicated than it needed to be, but it’s a little late to change that now. So, everyone gets a clear view (well… not clear, the static is still fizzling by now and again) of him sitting on his bed with a few books scattered around him.

His moth friend was also present, sitting on his head and peering down with what might be curiosity at whatever Mono was doing.

He would have just done this at this historium, but she doesn’t seem to do well with the cold of winter still present outside. ]

I got some problems.

[ The boy says rather plainly, dark eyes peering through the screen at you all rather imploringly. ‘Problems’ is something of an understatement if one were talking about other things, but he wasn’t talking about those things. He was actually talking about less serious things… but in a serious, quiet way. ]

I can’t figure out if any of the stuff I could call my moth friend sound good or not.

[ This is the least serious problem, but he thinks it is, okay? ]

Also, she doesn’t like the cold, so she’s kinda stuck inside… So I can’t take her with me to get more books to try to find a name in. So um… I was wondering if anyone wants to help me figure it out?

You’re welcome!

[ He thinks Rhy should feel good about the work he does. He’s really good at it, and it seems like it makes him happy. Mono thinks those are both very important things, and it makes him happy himself to see that kind of thought and feeling put into things. It’s so different from where he’s from. ]

I bet lots of people think so, your clothes ‘n stuff are always really nice.

[unbreakable_king]

You've seen much of my work?

[He is pleased to hear this actually. To be appreciated is always a relief.]

[monochromatically]

Sometimes! I get around the city a lot, and people talk about when they get new clothes ‘n stuff. I listen.

[ Because honestly he’s a better listener than talker at the end of the day, and if he hears someone mention names, he knows, then he listens double close! ]

[unbreakable_king]

Really?

[Rhy is just so proud and warm right now. He missed those sorts of things, and he was joyful for it.]

[monochromatically]

Yup! Do people not tell you stuff like that much?

[ That kinda sucks. Shouldn’t people tell the person who made something if they liked it or not? ]

[unbreakable_king]

Many people thank me at the moment and when they walk away with their purchases they do not think to tell me again about the appreciation. It's just... normal. Which makes the initial thank you sound polite.

[monochromatically]

Really? Hm… People should say it more, I think.

[ Sometimes the way people interacted was rather confusing for the boy, and it seemed both honest and important to let people know you still enjoy something or like it. What if people got discouraged after a while of people only being polite and never knowing how good the stuff they did was? ]

Well, I really like the stuff you make. It’s always a lot nicer than stuff I saw before.

[unbreakable_king]

[Of course people got discouraged. But often people did not look far beyond themselves.]

That is so very kind of you to say.

[monochromatically]

Just tellin’ the truth, that’s all.

[ The boy responded with a little nod. The moth wobbled slightly before stabilizing herself on his head. ]

[unbreakable_king]

Yes, but the truth is not often, and honestly, given

[monochromatically]

Yeah, I guess that’s kinda true. Some stuffs better to tell the truth about, especially if people need to hear it.

[ Mono liked to think this was one of those things that should be said honestly. Not that there weren’t things he kept to himself. But that was different from lying, he thinks. ]

[unbreakable_king]

You are very wise for your age, my friend.

[monochromatically]

You think so?

[ He’s not so sure of that, but if Rhy thinks so then he’ll believe it. ]

[unbreakable_king]

I do think so. very, very wise.

[monochromatically]

Huh, well thanks! I always thought you had to be pretty old to be wise.

[unbreakable_king]

No. Wisdom is what is learned from experience. Even the youthful can have that.

[monochromatically]

Huh, I guess I do got lots of experiences… But I never thought of it like that. Thanks for explaining stuff!

[unbreakable_king]

You're welcome. And good luck, younr mang.

[monochromatically]

[ The luck was appreciated, this was an important decision. ]

Thanks for the luck! Have a good day Rhy!

[ He responded, planning to try some names out with his friend and letting Rhy get back to his day. ]

[unbreakable_king]

And you as well.

[And with that he closes it on his side.]
