I've seen enough of him without that mask and suit to know there was plenty to feel sorry for, if one is so inclined. His road was a rather rough one before this. But, I'm afraid both pity and sympathy are emotions that never came to me very naturally.
[He's piqued attentively by her next remark, naturally.]
Oh? Trying time of things back wherever you were before this, then?
Yeah, I guess you're right. [ She has a sliver of sympathy, only because she's been tortured herself, and she's seen her father go through a terrible sickness. All in all though, she's kind of emotionally constipated. ] Me either, anymore.
[ But she pauses for a moment before confirming with a quiet hum. ]
[To both those remarks. He doesn't pry harder as he knows how she can be, by now. There's a thoughtful pause and then the sound of a smile in his voice as he speaks up again.]
You know, for all that we're a motley crew, I find I'm rather pleased with the make-up of our household. We fit together well. [Another pause, as his mood shifts quietly.] Suppose that things might change now however.
Yeah, I think so too. Guess we're lucky in that. [ She can definitely think of some kinds of people she would not want to be shacked up with. So far what they have really works out.
[ It will be strange to get someone new. Mare doesn't know how she feels about having to meet yet another new person she's supposed to share her living space with. She's far too untrusting for this to be a trend.
Don't tell anyone, but I actually might just feel the same way.
[It wouldn't be the end of the world, or anything. But this is the longest he's stayed in one place for awhile. The longest he's just interacted with the same group of people...socially.
[ Besides, it's nice to know that she doesn't feel this way on her own. It almost feels a little selfish to think this way, but if someone else agrees, well then it's fine. ]

[ She still kind of does, if he really was tortured and everything. But maybe that was all hot air too? Who knows what to believe these days. ]
I think I'll pass. I've been around enough death for a while.

Except now, well... ]
Do you think someone will replace him?
no subject
[He won't go so far as it say he hopes that they won't replace Wade but...
Well. It'd be a strange adjustment. He discovers he's about taken it for granted, that strange man hanging around.]

So she'll just say it. ] I hope they don't.
