I can see that very well, everything you do is done meticulously and with patience. It's as if you've been prepared the moment you were born.
( there's a lot he can do, has shown he can do really, and that makes him an asset if anyone manages to use their eyes to see that. the difficulty is showing one's worth when others can fight and think against it, believe that someone else serves the purpose better but only because they like them more. ah, groups should expand, but she doesn't know how the groups can to be like they did. )
We could start there by teaching the people here. You must know things that they don't, and... being a little oblivious so that they teach you is fine, even if you already do.
( then they think they're helping someone else, but that allows for them to find out they're still useful and not being dragged by the hand— not everyone is fond of it, but she knows hiyori can do so with flair and charisma.
she catches him though taking a drink, and he swallows without any hesitation unlike the others she's seen. )
Ahaha... I suppose you could say that I was! My parents always hoped that I would follow in their footsteps and become a person who led rather than followed.
[ It's not a lie; Hiyori doesn't lie, but he doesn't feel the need to unload all of the details of his personal life, as is the case with most people. If he hadn't been raised that way, he would no doubt be one more person who will never truly live. It's by his hands that their lives are given meaning.
He lives in a gray world, one that blues and reds no longer dot and splash, but he lives all the same. ]
You're right, though. It's important for adults to let children teach them what they've learned, and to speak of what they care of. If they're not able to, they develop a complex. It's no different than doing everything for them.
[ He's not comparing the adults here to children, of course, though there are plenty of those. The same idea principle applies though, as listening and allowing them to express their thoughts is often of more help than explaining things to them. Hiyori doesn't mind that, as he prefers to say little about himself while hearing much of others. His credentials are one thing, but his life is something different. ]
You listen to their thoughts and respond, and perhaps you learn to think of things in a differen way. It makes for a far more productive conversation for both parties.
