Ss-so, uhm...

Question;

What...uhm. What--wh-what makes a person brave? In, I-I mean, in--in your opinion.

[Shut up, Leo.]

Facing one's fears.

[meinxxherz]

Like...eventually over-coming them?

[ntjstapwn]

Like doing something even though you're scared. Over coming them probably counts too.

im not failing anymore

[thenotmagician]

Huh.

Doin' the right thing, even if it could get you killed, kid. Why?

<3

[meinxxherz]

Cur-urious. I--I dunno. It--it's a big...theme in, uh, in fiction. Right?

[Is it painfully obvious he's full of shit?]

[thenotmagician]

[Yeah it's pretty fucking obvious]

Seems to be.

What's up, kid?

[meinxxherz]

'm just--just curious. That's all.

[standardpackage]

Bein' able ta' do what ya' know ya' can do, but goin' just a bit further.

Test yer limits, Mumbles. I know you can do it.

[meinxxherz]

[OKAY, ignoring the fact Jinx saw right through his bullshit and called him out oh god oh god.]

Uhh--th-thhh-thank--thank you.

That's...a different, uhm. A--a differen-ent way to--t-to look at it.

[axemeaquestion]

Wonder that myself sometimes.

[meinxxherz]

Y--

Yeah?

Uhm...

Why?

[axemeaquestion]

Typical thing people think about in nasty conditions, I guess. General thing.

[meinxxherz]

Yeah, b-but, uhm.

Why...do you--d-do you wonder?

[tic_tech_turtle]

The definition of brave requires a look at the word courage, which is technically defined as "the state or quality of mind or spirit that enables one to face danger, fear, or vicissitudes with self-possession, confidence, and resolution."

Otherwise known as bravery. The definitions aren't exact everywhere you look, maybe, but the general gist is the same.

Naturally, of course, the things that make a person brave vary person to person, but it's been my experience that facing something that scares you - anything, no matter how minor - and continueing to face it whether or not you are certain in your ability to overcome it is bravery. Not necessarily a headlong confrontation as some might believe, but at least a refusal to allow it to overcome you in turn.

[meinxxherz]

H-Hey, Don.

[He's missed your techno-babble so much.]

I--I like your answer, uhm.

How--how's it guh-g-going? I heard, uhm, y-you're weening off the, uhm, drugs?

[tic_tech_turtle]

It's generally the standard answer, but thank you. I've just always found that people have different ways of showing their bravery, and occasionally it's, I suppose you could say, quieter than others.

[he sees what you're doing here with this post, Herz. He sees it.]

I'm avoiding taking them as often as possible, actually. I'm not in any particular need of them.

[and he's hoarding, and he refuses to diminish his supply]

[meinxxherz]

[Herz is going to pretend you DON'T see what he did there. Because otherwise he may just...stop replying.

and that would be cowardly]

For, uh, fff-f-f-for a sec, there, I thought you meant you, uh, were avoiding taking peoples quiet bravery.

Which, uhm, is--i-is funny, when you think about it.
