Not that I'm saying I'm a huge jerk, but I'm not looking for that kind of praise either...
It just doesn't feel right, watching everyone get stressed out and start splintering. And I also don't feel like just rolling over and letting them gut me over their pyre either.
I don't think senseless gore and bloodshed is an interest; however, under... normal circumstances, I would not much care what happened to the rest of you.
But I had... recently come into some... friends. So I gave it a second consideration when I met the other three.

...That's good. You have people...
no subject
I am not so sure, but they consider me a friend for some strange reason.

The type of person who'd rather hole up in a nice closet with a book of their own?
no subject
Yes. Is it so wrong?

At any rate, thanks for answering my questions. I think I've got things somewhat sorted out.
no subject
[ they are normal and fine? extremely ordinary. thank you. ]
You're welcome, detective.
no subject
......
Hardly.
And what it's worth -- I'm sorry for the loss.
no subject
...Thank you. We will continue on in his stead. It's something I think he would have wanted even if he wouldn't say it.
no subject
Yeah. We'll all try what we can.
