Yeah, hey there.

[ Though he kind of ... recognizes this voice.

In fact, he's probably spoken to this voice before.

First time, right.
For one thing, listening to her goes a long way. Understand and respect her feelings.

Even if she 'feels' like slapping me for no reason? [ Does he have to sit there all sagely while Mikoto beats him up sob ]

You look like you might be fast enough to dodge. [bart you cannot see his knowing smile over on the other end but just know that it is there]

Though it's best to make sure she's not doing that in response to something you say. Don't be insensitive.

It usually is in response to the stuff I say, but sometimes she does it when I say nice things too! I don't get it at all.

[ And oops what was that about being ... fast ... ]

Huh??! Fast? Me? I don't know what you're talking about.

It's usually more convincing if you don't argue against it like we both know what I'm talking about.

As for the nice things, well, you never know. Sometimes something you think sounds nice can actually be pretty off. There can be a lot to keep in mind, but just remember that we live in a world that doesn't often make it easy on girls. Knowing a few things about how it does so, and avoiding that can help.

But -- But I really don't know! [ *grrrk* ]

Hey, wait - so even if I think I'm saying something nice, it could still be mean?! [ OH NO IS BART SECRETLY A TERRIBLE PERSON???

Mental image of himself kicking puppies. With bolded question marks everywhere. ]

I'm saying that if you aren't careful, you could say something terrible without even meaning to. Your intent won't be malicious, but that doesn't erase the effect.

[ Max has probably told him something like that before. ]

It's tough, though. How am I gonna know if what I'm saying isn't ... secretly terrible before I say it?

[ Now even talking looks complicated! ]

Knowing your history and the person you're talking to doesn't hurt, but the important thing is to consider how they'll feel about what you say before you say it. "There's only one rule that I know of--: God damn it, you've got to be kind."
