The post of a million wards.
Is everyone happy with their patronus?

Are you in the mood to talk about the incident when you were camping?[Warded to Sun-mi]
How are you feeling? Is it okay for me to ask?[Warded to Ravi]
Do you want to talk about what happened or have you already bottled it up and buried it?[Warded to Cecil]
Cecil, I hate to ask you for favors, because I know how busy you are. However, I need your help with something.
Rafael/Sun-mi
We didn't decide. Rico adopted him and I couldn't let him be eaten alive by my brother's ego. Now we're stuck with him. (I say this with all the affection in the world.)
That makes it sound like [...] your feelings here might be complicated.
Rafael/Sun-mi
He's the dearest friend that I've made since coming here and I hate that everything feels strange when I'm around him now.
It's just made me wonder a little. If Rico hadn't been around? Would things be different? I don't know.
Ah. I'm probably echoing all sorts of thoughts you've had before.
Rafael/Sun-mi
[...] I'm almost certain it would be. Ravi wouldn't be stuck on this stupid "I don't date" bullshit, for one.
Are you interested in Ravi? Dating him, I mean.
Rafael/Sun-mi
[...] I'm not good at dating. And Ravi is not like Etta and even though he's too sweet not to try, things would never go back to how they were before if [...] you know. I don't really think it's worth risking losing his friendship just because he happens to be very handsome and enjoyable to make out with.
[...] Ah, this is so weird to even be talking about. How did you deal with [...] this last year?
Rafael/Sun-mi
I don't know, it's a little generous to say I "dealt" with it. I hadn't been broken up with Quinn for that long, and Ravi was doing his supportive friend thing that pulled me right in. When he kissed me in LARP, I was furious, because I wanted it. But I thought he was only attracted to me because I was the closest thing to my brother he was ever going to get. I accused him of trying to make me a replacement, and told him I wasn't straight, and that I wasn't going to let us be one another's rebound.
But I was wrong. The truth is he was never actually interested in me at all. He was just playing the stupid game. I got to enjoy two blows to my ego over the course of about fifteen minutes. First I thought I was just a stand in for Ricardo, and then I realized that I wasn't even that.
So, I got over him by being thoroughly humiliated. I recommend you try something else.
