[He doesn't need a memory share to see the uncertainty on her face]

...One you're actually cool with?

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

We're good at scraping ourselves off the floor, aren't we?

[Grinning, even if he's feeling bitter.]

...Besides, it's not like I want to be spared just because we're convenient, either. If we don't have connections with people who think we're worth protecting, then that's that.

[She opens her mouth, then closes it again when she realises she doesn't really have anything worth saying to that]

...'S still shitty. Don't gotta pretend like it's okay if it ain't.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

I think it's easier for us that way. that's all. I doubt there's anyone on the unit who wants to be pitied, either.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

Yeah... But there's gotta be someplace between making a big scene about it and having to hide away how you feel forever. I ain't saying you gotta go completely the other direction, but maybe land somewhere in the middle...?

[Okay, that just gives him a feeling of amusement, and he bursts out laughing.]

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

...What?

There's no way it's that funny...

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

SensitIV pretty much always loses at games about sharing emotions for a reason.

[So, yes, it is in fact funny.]

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

[Possibly pouting a little,]

Just 'cause you lose all the time don't mean you gotta be losers about it.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

It's just how we are. I wonder if it's a qualifying trait for getting on the unit in the first place...?

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

...Could be. Prolly easier to stay on-brand if everybody like that's in the same place.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

Anyway - that's just how it is with us, so there's no need to worry too much.

[The feeling of resignation is strong.]

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

Who's worried?

Just...'least now you know somebody else knows it sucks, I guess. Pretty shit deal either way.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

[...Ah.]

Well... I guess. Thanks for not making it weird...?

Re: Witnesses OK!

[unbr8kable]

[Shrugs]

Well--y'know. Sorry I ain't good at ass patting.

Re: Witnesses OK!

[bondsofsuffering]

[A shrug.]

I'm not really looking for that kind of thing anyway. Even memories like this... they mostly suck when people's opinions can mean life or death, too.
