However, I'll make an effort to amend that. [Julius does want to improve except he struggles with being personal. He's thankful for Riza's suggestion.]
Thank you Lieutenant.

[Everyone has their dark secrets and sordid pasts of course, but she's always believed that hiding those did more harm than good. (She could be wrong; she has been wrong before, on several occasions.) But at the same time—her shoulders relax and an understanding smile spreads across her face.]
But I also understand that talking about oneself can be difficult. It takes time and practice like any other thing.
[She's still not very good at it herself.]
We want you to let us know if you're struggling because we care.

viscontree on January 28th, 2017 03:09 pm (UTC)I understand. Thank you again for being so courteous. [That's more than he could ever ask from a friend. Riza's so kind. ]
What I'm struggling with is...a problem relating back to my original world. It's not a simple matter that can be explained easily.
Did you have troubles with home before leaving, Lieutenant?
[He can't be the only one okay.]

strictdiscipline on February 1st, 2017 01:34 am (UTC)Don't we all have problems of some sort where we come from?
[She says it with a wry twist to her mouth, almost cheekily, but sobers up immediately afterwards.]
There were problems I had to find a solution to, but they were issues I had support for and nothing I had to handle on my own. [For which she's eternally grateful for.] Why do you ask?

viscontree on February 1st, 2017 01:52 am (UTC)You're quite right, I was just curious.
Everyone deals with their own problems in a different way. We're both no exception to this.
[He feels a little silly for not counting on others as much. Maybe next time he'll talk to Riza with an open mind.]

You can always let me know if you need help with any of those problems.
[Next time....! For now, they've got Important Mission Preparations to cover, and she holds out her book, opened halfway.]
What about this outfit?
[With any luck, they'll get the hang of this in the next hour...]
