Can someone who can't wish for happiness for themselves wish happiness for others?

Do not be so dense. You wish the same for your Servants, do you not? Even if you do think you can be in the picture for it.

My Master is not different in that regard.

I used the wrong word for that question.

Rather than "can", meaning "capable", the question should be should.

The answer to that is also "yes". Anyone who is not capable of wishing for other people's happiness lacks empathy and humanity.

And that is something I despise.

[...................... don't say it. don't pick the fight. but he is just kind of dead-eyed staring Anaxa down because YOU THINK YOU HAVE ROOM TO JUDGE OTHERS ON THEIR HUMANITY, HUH?]

... most people would find it hypocritical, is what I'm saying.

[ he can tell Kim Dokja must be holding himself back so he will not be even more pedantic and continue on this debate no matter how much he wants to. He's already coming up with arguments and follow up questions in his head but he has to be good. He's here for PEACE ]

Then let's just say that I do not care if it's hypocritical or not. I will wish for you to find happiness regardless of whether it's acceptable for me to do so or not.

Besides, feuding with you has truly been exhausting.

At least you're smarter than others have been in that area.

Do not make me regret my words already.

Over a compliment?

Wasn't it more a compliment to yourself than it was to me? If you're going to compliment me, do it properly.

[... the moment of wondering if he buttonmashed a certain compliment enough that it might have lingering effects (this will happen in our other thread once not at work)]

Hm...

I can admit you're very beautiful, still.

[ how

dare

HE!?

There are no lingering effects. Not from the candy, at least. The compliment does not give him any extra pleasure and yet it's effective all the same - a mix of memories resurfacing and just embarrassment. He very quickly looks away, his entire face red as he's frowning, trying to hide the embarrassment as best as he can ]

[... heh.

got 'im.]

Was that better?

Do not interrupt me. Even my silence is worth listening to.

[ Saying that hits a taboo and it is clear with the way his expression looks pained, but he's so embarrassed and he just as clearly needs time to sort himself out. He's even hiding his face for a moment, but once he's gathered the words back all he can come up with is weak ]

And do not be so smug.

[frowns because hey. hey, why hitting taboos when that's not the goal here?]

... that's like asking the sky not to be blue.

That is exactly why you are so infuriating.

. . .

But I will accept that compliment.

Well, good.

... just because I say it to get a reaction doesn't mean it's insincere.

Do not forget that my beauty is the one "nice" thing about myself I could say back then. You are hardly the first to compliment my beauty. It is my personality that has ever been a problem.

[ but that doesn't make the praise any less effective because yes, he's still embarrassed ]

I am a fair teacher, and so I can admit that you are also reasonably attractive.

... the way you're putting that make it feel like I was seeking compliments when I definitely wasn't?

[ HE'S FROWNING BUT HIS FACE IS STILL RED ]

Just take the compliment, Kim Dokja.

[but being called "reasonably attractive" after telling someone they're beautiful is such a step down? like, wouldn't it just have been fine to not have said anything? it's not like he thinks he's unattractive...

and this is why Kim Dokja stole a handful of "Stop Thinking" candies]

Thanks.

Anyway... if you wanted a truce, then let's actually make a point of how that should look?

If you are crossing a line enough that it'd infuriate me, I will tell you. And you will do the same.

That should be enough.

[............... this presumes Kim Dokja ever knows when lines are getting crossed before he's over them, um.]

Alright.

Lyle said something about "negotiating limits". Perhaps we should think of that.

[you're killing your master, Lyle!]

... if you insist. Please go ahead.
