Ever wonder why we're here?

If it wasn't important, you would have answered the question by now.

[voreaciously]

I just said he insulted me. How does that not answer the question?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Because me just insulting someone is shit talking with friends.

Agent Washington goes for the manipulative deep cuts. So maybe its less what he said....

And how have you decided to react.

[sockandkey]

[VERY, VERY POORLY.]

You still have not told me why it matters nor what you could possibly do about it.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Rid you of misconceptions of my emotions, for one.

Because I have a feeling for all you say you can't understand what other people are feeling, you probably jump to conclusions for them thinking negatively of you and think its fact.

[voreaciously]

[...]

You do not need to do any such thing, and those are two separate matters, regardless.

Please give me a cube. I will return, later.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Are they?

What's your general read of the situation between you and Agent Washington? Why did he say what he said, do what he did?

[voreaciously]

He does not trust and thinks the worst of me. [rightfully, she does not say, nor hint at in her tone.] I still wish to help him, so I have agreed to his terms and mean to return.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Why does he think the worst of you? Why doesn't he trust you?

Surviving his room is helping.

[voreaciously]

I did survive his room and I intend to keep surviving it.

[schrodingerscockroach]

80H.

Why does he think the worst of you and why doesn't he trust you?

[voreaciously]

Because I am not his friend, and even if I were, I would betray him in the end.

Now, please, the cube.

[schrodingerscockroach]

In a minute because I want you to help.

But you're letting your own self hatred blind you to the fact that Dusk is terrified of that being the case with literally everyone he cares about.

[voreaciously]

I do not hate myself.

[she sounds mildly annoyed, honestly. WHY. DOES. EVERYONE. KEEP. SAYING THAT.]

[schrodingerscockroach]

Then which part of my heart do you think my real opinion of you is?

[voreaciously]

This part, obviously.

[schrodingerscockroach]

So say what is Dusk's opinion of 80H.

[voreaciously]

Why does that matter? I already know it.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Because you will hit a roadblock with Agent Washington as is.

But I need to make a point to hopefully explain it.

So.

What would you say is Dusk's opinion of 80H?

[voreaciously]

That she is helpful, dependable, and competent.

[schrodingerscockroach]

And?

[voreaciously]

...That is it.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Funny how you only took in the stuff that means 'useful.'

[voreaciously]

[look she doesn't even like compliments but he's said that shit enough times that she remembers it!!]

That was not my intention but it does not matter. What else would you have me say?

[schrodingerscockroach]

That I like talking to you. That I think you can be funny.

That I would totally adopt you.

You know, things like that, that are affected by multiple parts of the heart.

Instead of the part that would gleefully massacre a base of sentient beings and still be full of rage and hate afterwards.
