Open Finished Evening Rendezvous

(I'm sorry omg)
Keeping a straight face, she listened to the boy's story, knowing exactly what he was feeling. It had happened to her too, but she decided to wait until he was finished before giving her story and advice.Nodding every time he talked, she wanted to make sure that he still knew that she was listening. "It's not always easy, I can say that much. It's happened to me too, and it probably wasn't your fault internally." She crossed her arms tightly before continuing. "It takes a while for an animal to like you or get used to you, and especially when you were young, it's sometimes harder to play nice with animals that need time to get to know you." She was trying to cheer him up, but she felt as if she was failing to do that. "I mean if you never want to have a pet again, that's your choice, but having an outlook of that every animal you have or meet, you will hurt or it will be mean to you, well, that's not a good outlook. You're in a way judging each animal as you did when you were a child, I don't know though. I got over my problems with animals a long time ago, if that wasn't obvious."

Watching him closely, she really didn't know what to say. So what if she grew up with animals? That doesn't mean that she wasn't scared to death of animals, and put up with them because they were at least better than any human. It pissed her off in a way that he had said that, but all she did was ball up her fists and clench her teeth tightly in anger. She kept her mouth shut and didn't once think about saying anything that would make the situation any worse. Her teeth began to loosen and her body went back to normal after she listened to him more, seeing that it was useless to get fussy over such a small comment.

After he was finished talking, she washed her feelings with a sigh of relief and boredom, as she was surprised by herself that she was being so patient with him. "Everyone's messed up nowadays, hell, I bet everyone on this island would say the same thing." She retorted back at him. "No one wants us, no one cares, no one needs us. We are all still battling to fit in or to stand out, and either thanking or cursing the day that we were all born." Claire wasn't exactly sure what she was trying to achieve with her little speech, but she hoped that it was at least getting through to him. "So, if you have a problem with your life then join the club of everyone else that feels the same way." She gave a short laugh, happy that she had managed to come up with a half witty and smart statement.

( it's okay ^^ )

Nodding lightly to his silence, she was happy that her words got to him. When she had said them out loud, they had hurt her too. She was used to not being wanted though, so being able to admit it to someone wasn't that hard. A snarl escaped her as he tried to retort her retort. "Hm." She said quietly as she thought over his point. "True, but..." She trailed off, as he had a few seconds ago. "I sure haven't found anyone that truly wanted me here yet. I've almost been here for two years, and nothing." She said with a short sigh, unsure of her words. "We have a higher chance to meet friends, lovers, or even the one here, but people are also judged pretty highly, as the powerhouse people here always see us as lessers." She snickered at her own words. "Whatever. It really doesn't change anything if we all feel the same way that we did before coming here. I know I do." She said as she crossed her arms. "Hopefully that changes." Claire said quickly before looking straight into his eyes.
(Sorry for the delay)

Smiling and nodding lightly in agreement to the boy, she was happy to see his resolve. She had found it weird that in two years, they had indeed never met. Not that it was all that big of a deal, but the fact that she had been out here so often, it seemed that each time they had missed each other by a matter for minutes or seconds. There weren't that many people on the island either, but share decided not to dwell on it, as she knew that there was really nothing for her to change about those facts.

When he got to the point of blocking people out, Claire scuffled lightly to herself, as it was a touchy and not liked subject of hers. "I don't mind blocking people out. I'm used to it." She said in a harsh tone. "Why should I want to look at it differently, to try and let someone in that doesn't deserve it?" She sighed as she relaxed her body, choosing not to get upset with her own words. "I mean maybe, if we were to change, maybe we would get over our old habits but, I mean, I'd rather be friends with people that need me as much as I need them, yeah?" Her own words were almost sounding like rambles by the time she had finished.

{it's okay I understand :)}

Smiling pleasingly at the boy, she liked the points that he was trying to get across to her. He was really trying to counteract whatever point she was trying to make, and she admired that. "Hm, yeah I guess." She finally said after his last point, as she had decided to say quiet as she listened to him. She had surprised herself with the amount of respect she was giving him. "I really never gave anyone more of a chance, I guess the people that are my friends now just intrigued me." She really did hope that what she was saying was making sense to her, and not just sounding like a bunch of blabber. "Yeah? Everyone has an equal chance to impress me, until I decide if I want to be around them. And yeah, I've messed up on a few friends and choices.... But I'm better now, a clean slate I guess."
