Do you really need another reason? [he's obviously just kidding.] ...I've come to find that if they're still hanging around even knowing you have a few problems, they're worth it.
I've come to find that the most stubborn ones tend to worry even more when you don't tell them anything at all. But there's still a key in not saying too much either.
[when you don't want to give people an excuse to treat you differently. or leave. or think you really aren't as much as you want to be.]
And you'll probably fall off of the line a couple of times. [they really are same hatting this, it's horrible.] ...there are still times I'm not quite sure why Will's still around. Or why he still wants me around. But whatever his reasoning is it's been a while.
[so. you can fall off of the line but still make it work is what he means.]
[ he shrugs a little because he knew this stare was coming but LOOK he doesn't KNOW if that's true because he apparently doesn't know himself and that's terrifying it's FINE ]
I know. I'm just...you know. [it's hard to like verbally say "yes that goes for both of us" but ALSO.] I can't speak for everyone else, but I'd like to think we're actually...
[...they are both allergic to the word friend, too.]
Yes. There were about as many of you in that Realm, but you could only hear a handful of them right? With our job as staff, we have to be aware at all times in case things get out of hand or guests need us or even just because our boss may ask for status reports. All a part of the uniform, I guess.

How much do you want them to know? There's still a lot I haven't told Will or Hazel and they've been around for a while.

You get it.
no subject
We're friends too. [ a beat ] Means maybe we're just as stubborn as those guys, huh?
no subject
Yeah. Maybe we are. I never doubted my own stubbornness but as long as people can deal with that. [he's not going to change, thanks.]
no subject
We got at least a couple who've managed so far. [ wryly. ]
