[It could be anywhere. Whether you are in town or in a field, you may feel that you're being watched.]

[Turn around, and you'll find him. Or maybe he's standing in front of you.]

[What will you do?]

It is true that I have no place to call "home" here in The World...

...and yet, who among us can say that they do?

[noisyclockhands]

The others don't make it a habit to harass others, you know.

[eightofseven]

I am merely watching.

[noisyclockhands]

You'll make someone think that you're planning on mugging them that way.

[eightofseven]

I do not know if that will happen until it does.

[lolitalreadydid]

[noisyclockhands]

You can't guess that people will be put off by that behaviour?

[wearenotevensurprised]

[eightofseven]

No. Even for something so simple, there are too many possibilities to assume one will happen.

[noisyclockhands]

Trust me, there is not a single person who would enjoy you sticking to them like this. Unless they are even creepier than you are.

[eightofseven]

Typically, I am better at concealing myself than this. Something may have happened, or perhaps I should try to watch people in groups, as I have done before.

[noisyclockhands]

You--- I'm used to a lot, but this guy...

why are you even doing this?! People could sleep easier at night if they wouldn't have to think that you are creeping around.

[eightofseven]

I don't watch people while they are sleeping.

[What? Sleeping people are so booooring...]

[noisyclockhands]

Just during every other moment of the day? You know, if you admit this so freely people will more on their guard than before.

[eightofseven]

How they respond to my presence, if they notice it, is not my concern.

[noisyclockhands]

People usually at least pretend to care about others.

[eightofseven]

Are you suggesting that I attempt to make myself more human?

[noisyclockhands]

[ eeeeehgh can we stop having weirdo get-togethers finally D| ]

Sure, unless you find the idea too repulsive.

[eightofseven]

As much as I would like that, it is impossible.

[noisyclockhands]

Why? Because you think yourself above normal humans?

[eightofseven]

For all my power, I still cannot achieve what they can.

[noisyclockhands]

Would you give up your power if you could?

[eightofseven]

...

Doing so would not make me human.

[noisyclockhands]

Huh. Just - entertain me, okay?

A lot of people would tell you that it would not be worth it

[eightofseven]

While I am pleased that they can look upon themselves in such a light, I do not understand why they would.

[noisyclockhands]

Do you think that being human is easy?

[eightofseven]

I do not, but I am almost completely sure that it would be worthwhile.
