In a sense, it's surprising that this sort of thing doesn't happen more often. Isn't that so?

The whole place being infested, I mean, with some kind of nightmare creature untouchable by normal means and whatnot. Think about it. All these dozens of people here, some of them have dreadful powers, I'm surprised more of them aren't... bursting the seams.

Too bad we can't turn these monsters against our enemies as easily as they got turned on us, eh?

Ah - I hate to tell ya' this, but she probably ain't here.

You got any friend's you can cry onto instead?

Oh, several. I could flay their skin and stitch their faces together and make quite the handkerchief for myself if I had to.

But I'll try to hold back the tears.

What a disturbing thing to say...

Right? At first I figured he was just a sensitive guy, but now I'm startin' to think he's just a real scary kind of guy...

[HA HA.]

[it's a three-bad-dude pileup.]

Maybe he's making a simile. Metaphor. What-have-you. [He only knows that because of Rhode... and he only has the vaguest idea of what all that even means :')] Terrible to do that kind of disservice to your friends, hm?

Even joking about harming friends is just awful.

Disturbing, even. I could never!

You've a sensitive heart, eh...

Sometimes too much for my own good.

Tragic.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be. It appears that here, my sense of humor clashes with most everyone else's.

Ah, well, as long as you're just joking. It would be a terrible thing to turn on a friend, wouldn't it?

Of course. I would never. I hold my friends very close to my heart.

Good man. Everybody should.

Well.

Someone's a little more messed up than I'd a thought, Cat. I don't know if I feel all too comfortable with this friendship, anymore.

[ Catsovi sighs, in such a way that it's practically an audible eyeroll. But there's a cheerful note in his voice when he answers. ]

Please, you didn't take that seriously.

Isn't it obvious that I'd only do that sort of thing to my enemies?

I dunno, I don't make a habit outta befriendin' crazy people. Ain't got the nerves fer' it.

I might start turnin' grey-haired if I'm put under that kinda stress too long.

[ BUT... GIN.... wait no damn it, Cat's totally blind, he's not supposed to know that!! ]

And that would be a loss to us all, wouldn't it? At least, those of us whom can see.

No, but I suppose you're right. It does no good to associate with assholes.

[NOT BAD! He was trying to catch him out...

Maybe he really is blind then, he thinks.]

Whoa, whoa, I didn't say that - plenty a' psychopaths are perfectly good company.

Hm...y'know in that sense, maybe I'm bein' too hasty after all.

Good company if you like being kept on your toes, I suppose.

And you're certainly being too hasty if you're calling me a psychopath!

Alright, alright...

Yer' "spirited" then.

Good. That's at least a far more pleasant descriptor, if inaccurate.

Don't you think so, Cat?

I'd call anyone willin' to flay faces about as spirited as they come.

Oh, my god. [ Cat groans. ] Is this it? Am I going to be haunted at every turn now by some throwaway comment I made? That'll teach me to jest with strangers.

If ya' keep reactin' like this, sure. It's funny.

[He could not give a damn about those flayed faces.]

But that hurts, Cat. We ain't strangers, are we? I'd pegged us as friends from day one.

I'm afraid that neither of us know each other well enough to be friends. Friendly acquaintances, maybe. [ YES VERY FRIENDLY INDEED. ]
