I'll get used to it when it makes sense! Why does everyone care about someone who's a massive jerk?

[feytality]

You're only a medium jerk, don't kid yourself.

[foreverphantom]

[ okay genuinely this does get him feeling touched and honored. and she can get that sense from a sudden burst of emotionshare. ]

Okay, okay, fine. Why does everyone care about a medium jerk?

[feytality]

Because you're our teammate and friend. Because you're not as mean as you think you are. Because I like you as a person.

That enough?

[foreverphantom]

Honestly, it just sounds like Stockholm Syndrome. Forced together because we're teammates, and you decide we're friends and that you like me because we're stuck together as it is.

[feytality]

I'm not as big of a team person as you might think. I didn't automatically like you because you were on my team. You proved yourself a good teammate.

[foreverphantom]

[ okay, he'll accept that he's worth more than what he can do or who he kills, but that he was a good teammate? That's a step too far. He just gives her the most skeptical look possible. ]

At what point was I ever a good teammate?

[feytality]

You fulfilled missions, you looked out for us -- even if it was by yelling at us -- you wanted to take on the hard parts yourself, and you helped us come up with curses and stuff. All signs of a good teammate!

[ opens his mouth to argue this point--but then realizes that his lack of doing murders or getting achievements has nothing to do with the things maya mentioned.

closes his mouth. sighs. ]

Alright, fine. Give me the damn jacket.

[feytality]

[ hands him a jacket ]

Here ya go.

[foreverphantom]

[ puts it on

then pauses, considering. and finally, a sigh. ]

...thanks. For...calling me a good teammate. And considering me a friend.

[feytality]

You're welcome.

[ gives him a warm smile ]
