This idea of yours is not even half as brilliant as you think it is. I don't need to socialize, and I am not bored. [He actually is bored, but he's not going to admit that here.] ... That said, if it's a choice between working for some short-sighted, controlling moron and this...

I'll think about it.

Right? Why should we be forced to go out and make friends?

[deadly_mind]

The last time I made a friend, she died despite every effort I made to protect her, and I leveled a mansion and everything else within a mile or so around us. [On top of enemies, allies, and himself. Though most of them eventually made it out alive... Even Ken, unfortunately. It was not a good day, overall.] Apparently that doesn't discourage anyone around here.

Short-sighted, controlling moron...sounds like most of our employers, what makes this one so special?

[deadly_mind]

Nothing, and that's my point. If it's a choice between going back to listening to that idiot Takitori drone on or taking my chances here, though, I'm leaning toward the latter.

[He's not mistaking this as anything but potentially exchanging one annoying situation for another, but has he mentioned that he hates Takitori?... A lot?]
