Goodness. 'This lowly Ritsu'? And Kibitoshin thought his self-esteem needed a little tuition! Maybe he should have picked up one of those self-help books for Ritsu instead; they seemed to need it a lot more than he did. Even so, he couldn't help but wish that his roommate had substituted their name for "man" or "woman"; thinking 'they' all the time was starting to get a little confusing, as though there were lots of different Ritsu clones running around the Institute.
Anyway, the point was that he'd managed to find himself a receptive ear for his problems, and even if they couldn't help him reach some sort of solution he knew at the very least it would help to get it off of his chest. And who knew? Maybe he'd have the guts to ask about gender afterwards. Kibitoshin shifted on the bed again and tried to find a place to start.
"Well, it's like this... I have these two friends, and sometimes they kind of talk down to me or act like I can't do things for myself..." he started uncertainly, well aware of how unfair that must have sounded. He didn't want to make them sound like bad people; he was sure Franziska and Sechs had their reasons for acting the way they did around him. It just didn't help that he wasn't smart enough to catch on to them. "I told them I didn't like it and it made them angry, and now I'm not sure what to do. I don't think Franzi- I mean, one of my friends even wants to talk to me anymore."
He sighed a little- the same was probably true of Sechs, but he wanted to admit that even less. "So- so I was thinking I could apologise, maybe. But I was so sure I was right..." Looking up, Kibitoshin fixed his uncertainty onto Ritsu. "What do you think?"
