[See this face? This is a face that does not believe. This is a face that listens to long explanations just as well as short ones, that listened to that explanation, and that found it to be a lot of words for the same kind of bullshit. The strength of his what-the-fuck gives him a little energy; maybe he does have it in him to explain, now.]
Okay, point one: Look at where we are. The first night I was here I met someone real ready to be your cohesive unit, you've got your pick of em. Point two: Friendlier?
Connor, you're driving me to drink, and I'm trying to conserve this shit. Why the hell does friendly matter to you? If point one is true - and it is - and you just really need a... a partner, I guess, you've got no one telling you here that partner's got to be me, and there are plenty of people who'd come with a whole lot more advantages attached than I do. So if that's the case and you just need a partner, how friendly I am shouldn't matter. How friendly and healthy I am, and however... whatever else it is you want out of me, it doesn't matter, not if your overall goal is just 'form a cohesive unit'. And if that's not your overall goal, why aren't you just telling me what that is?
There's something I'm missing here and I've got no idea what it could be, cause... [He sighs, looking away, lips pursed, his expression twisted up in reluctance, embarrassment.] You... what you said you felt, the first time I uh- fuck, got my feelings-cooties all over you, or whatever. I don't know what all you got out of that, but you've got to know why I can't be... objective. Like, I can't- there's some android thing I'm not getting, here, and I was kind of hoping- I was thinking you could spell it out for me.
