#i figured.

While cleaning up in some of the unused rooms in the hive. The newly built B.2 came across a strange pile of books hidden in a chest and quirked an eyebrow before taking one of them and flipping through it realized what sort of book it was and takes it. Probably to the wrong person. Horloz. Who once seeing it walked to rosas room and knocked lightly on the door to see if she was there.

and i'm sittin' here now craving fish and chips

Don't call him/her names. Names are important. When the Nazis wanted to dehumanize their victims, they replaced names with numbers. When you replace someone's name with anything other than their name, you alter their identity. Even if you care about her intensely, when you call your best friend, "Bitch" you change her name from whatever it is to "Bitch." In doing so, you've replaced her identity and that is inexcusable. Now, sometimes you have affectionate names for someone. If you call good friend Charles "Bacon" for whatever reason, that isn't removing his identity. Just remember: bullies call people "Loser" as though it's their name. Friends don't. End of story. 

If you're making jokes at someone's expense and then, all of a sudden, they get really quiet and non-responsive: stop. It likely isn't "all of a sudden" for them. More likely than not, you've been slowly eroding their confidence and happiness. More likely than not, the past moments have been unbearable for them. Apologize for going too far and move on. Don't dwell on it, because then the fact that their feelings got hurt becomes an issue, and that might embarrass them. Say you're sorry because you want to be a decent human being, but then move the conversation in any other direction.

If someone makes you food, say thank you. Even if it's food you don't like and don't want to eat. Even quietly eat it. Now, of course, sometimes you can't. If someone serves you cheese but you're allergic to dairy, or someone serves you steak but you don't eat meat, politely say, "Thank you, I can't eat the [steak/stuffed mushrooms/peanut butter sandwich] but [carrots/creamed corn/fruit salad] looks really good." And then: move on.

If you're doing something and it is clearly making someone else uncomfortable, and especially if someone says that they are uncomfortable: stop. I suppose you can't always. For example, if you drool uncontrollably and that makes someone uncomfortable, you can't just all of a sudden control it. However, if you've taken off your shirt or you are gyrating or you are rambling on in grotesque detail about the last time you went hunting, you can stop that. And you should. 

Sometimes people get upset and they need space. Sometimes people get upset and they need someone to be there. And it might not be easy to tell what you should do when someone you care about is upset. So: ask them. And then be okay with whatever they say. If you ask, "Can I do anything for you?" And they say, "Leave me alone I hate you you're the worst person in the world" (that was a little mean of them, I know, but they're upset so let it slide) just say, "All right, but if you need anything, let me know." And then, and this is revolutionary, I know: leave them alone. Don't force them to hug you. Don't linger so that they can tell you all about their problems. Just leave and let them come to you if they want to.
