...maybe it actually helps to have the confirmation, a little bit, so I'm not trying to guess, but I suppose the part that I've always had trouble with is not... just trying to be what other people want. If that... makes sense.
I think I would be fine doing anything from the mild and tangy lists, minus the tickling [GROSS]... and on the Spicy list... I think most of these are negotiable.
[Negotiable doesn't mean yes! Make no mistake, he's still a baby, but he's trying to push himself out of his comfort zone and that's easier with people he trusts.]

Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
Like, trying hard to please people so they think well of you?
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
...it might be more that I want to do things right, but I don't always feel confident in my own instincts.
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
Confidence can be a hard thing to find in this place, can't it. I can't say I'm particularly good at it half the time, either.
Do you think it gets easier with practice?
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
Or, well. I hope, anyway, but—honestly, you seem like you do fine...
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
[genuine admiration]
I guess all we can do is our best, though. Maybe we'll figure it out one day.
[amusement]
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
[ the admiration is mutual, buddy. we are TRYING our BEST and that's VALID ]
Ah—did you want to maybe do something, while we're here...?
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
Ummm let's see...
[looking over the list]
I think I would be fine doing anything from the mild and tangy lists, minus the tickling [GROSS]... and on the Spicy list... I think most of these are negotiable.
Anything strike your fancy?
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
also she's hitting choice paralysis, please hold ]
...decisions are my eternal nemesis, still, apparently; I keep just asking people if they want to do something they enjoy.
Well, I suppose for something like blindfolding, I'd trust you to do that, too.
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
Blindfolding's no problem.
[he starts shucking off his jacket.]
Do you mind if I put my jacket over your head?
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
Oh, er—that works, yes.
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
[He drapes the jacket over her head, then lightly ties the sleeves together at the back. He's very gentle.]
Is that okay?
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
[ and she's... pretty calm, but there's a sense of trust; she knows she's safe, and that feels obvious.
actually this is kind of peaceful. ]
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
--he has to untie the blindfold at some point, though. Peace is over!]
There you go. All done!
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
Anything else on your list you wanted to do?
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
[looking at the 5-point tasks]
Would you be comfortable tying this jacket around my wrists? That would count as restraining someone, right?
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
[ she sort of rolls it up so that it's more like one long tube, and then loops it around his wrists—then, right over left, left over right to tie it. ]
...it's not uncomfortable, is it?
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
Nope, that's great. Thank you.
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
Well, let me know when you want out, and we can get snacks. That counts for something too, I think.
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
[though he feels okay that she did it, he would like to not be doing this more than necessary. How will he get the food into his mouth??]
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
There you go. Only snacktime now.
Re: Day 235, Emotionshare Game
[slipping his jacket back on]
Gotta say, any game that gives me points for eating food I like is pretty okay in my book.
Are you in the mood for anything in particular or were you just thinking of hitting up the nearest conbini?
