[01:09] Zhurgoul: Scotty, listen to me for a second. I am well aware of the tension between us, but right now something more important depends upon the success of this conversation. Jenny is very upset that you and her are no longer on speaking terms. I think it is time you and I sat down and just talked about what exactly is the problem. My interest is in seeing Jenny happy. I'm sure that is your intent as well. Will you at least speak to me?
[01:10] Scotty: Can we be civil to one another?
[01:10] Scotty: I will if you will.
[01:10] Zhurgoul: I will be civil so long as you do the same, yes.
[01:10] Scotty: Alright.
[01:12] Zhurgoul: (Brb, gotta shut something off)
[01:14] Zhurgoul: (Back)
[01:14] Scotty: Okay. Anyway, I am developing health problems. Depression and the like. I've even gone to see a counselor. Now, I'm normally a very happy person, and quite normally, Jenny adds to the happiness. But lately I've been very upset by the whole situation. I don't know what is what anymore. I despised you, but didn't even know you. I had agression towards people that hadn't wronged me. I had no idea what was up, so I went to a counselor. Now, while they are not a 300/hour therapist, I trust their judgement. I'm developing depression because I'm constantly worrying about her. She advised me to sever ties, but I couldn't do that, so Jenny and I decided on a 2 month period of separation to see if my health improves. Jenny means a lot to me, but I've had depression before when I was younger and my grandfather passed away. It wasn't fun. My parents threatened to cut off internet entirely (cutting off my income in one swift move, as well).
[01:14] Scotty: (Please pardon any late replies. Currently troubleshooting a problem on another system and it needs to be done by morning, so I'm afraid I'll have to work while we talk. )
[01:15] Zhurgoul: Quite alright.
[01:15] Zhurgoul: Then, am I to take it your quarrel with me has passed?
[01:17] Scotty: I am not sure, Colin. My mind has been in a frenzy lately, when it is normally quite calm. I honestly am not sure how I feel about you or even myself right now. I don't despise you anymore, if that's what you mean.
[01:17] Zhurgoul: You are saying the source of your hatred was an emotional one? Not a logical one?
[01:18] Zhurgoul: Did I do something to ilicit such feelings, or was it compulsory?
[01:18] Zhurgoul: *illicit
[01:18] Scotty: I believe it was a mix. I was scared that Jenny would get hurt, and I went into defensive mode.
[01:19] Zhurgoul: What did I do to make you think I would hurt her, and by hurt, do you mean physically or just generically?
[01:19] Zhurgoul: And we can stop anytime you wish.
[01:20] Scotty: Generically. I saw that you two had had troubles in the past, and again, my mind wasn't as logical as I would like it to be. It was more of a me snapping kind of thing.
[01:20] Zhurgoul: I see.
[01:21] Zhurgoul: Well, is there something I can do to ease that fear or help you get back on good terms with Jenny?
[01:22] Scotty: This is something I have to do. I can't knowingly throw myself into depression. That may sound selfish, but that's my mindset. If, in a month or so, I am still showing signs, I'll know that it is something different.
[01:23] Zhurgoul: Very well.
[01:23] Zhurgoul: Thank you for your time.
[01:23] Scotty: And you yours.
