You couldn't be more wrong. Sending me somewhere would be a very worthwhile enterprise. I make friends everywhere I go.

And bodies, sure. But it's for a good cause.

In my case, you should learn to.

[hoodbin]

Aren't I already? You give me advice he would not.

[damaged]

You're not attached to me. Not the same way. We can go to Disneyland all we want, it's not the same, is it?

[hoodbin]

You're still him just a little.. so the attachment is a little there.

[damaged]

Yeah. That's why you're killing me. But it's his fault, not yours.

[hoodbin]

Do you hate him?

[damaged]

[He's silent a while.]

No. But he's wrong, to do what he's doing with you. Not sure about the other stuff.

[hoodbin]

You probably wouldn't take on a sidekick would you.

[damaged]

Not like this.

[Not ever. But he doesn't want to say that.]

[hoodbin]

Must be weird having me follow you around then. [ She's not going to stop but she acknowledges that it's weird at least. ]

[damaged]

No, cause you're not my sidekick, you're my friend.

[Or close enough; Jason thinks it's easier just to go the whole way and wait for reality to catch up, in this case. Anyway, if she didn't follow him around, he'd have to follow her around.]

[hoodbin]

..... Friend.

[damaged]

No? [Unabashed.]

[hoodbin]

Never thought that could happen.... Would be honored.

[damaged]

[He actually laughs. It's a rusty sort of amusement but it isn't disdainful or mean, just... he genuinely finds that funny.]

Okay, that's the first time I ever heard that.

[hoodbin]

It won't be the last. At least not from me.
