Yeah, well. I haven't slipped on that glove in longer than you've been alive. Dealing with Vanya was a little different.
[ But also...not really. Not that different. The only real difference is that Vanya is his sister and he loves her. He loves her maybe more than he loves the rest of them because when they were little, he always felt weirdly responsible for her in a way that none of the others seemed to, except for maybe Number Six now and again. He doesn't love these people; they're strangers to him. His siblings, sure, he'd never admit it but he'd die for them. But for the other Displaced? For the locals? He doesn't fight for people anymore unless they matter to him. None of these people matter to him. ]
Yes, you are, but that's not what I meant. I mostly meant just don't be too impulsive if you're going on your own. This guy seems pretty low-level and the worst I'm guessing is you'll end up doing something heinously embarrassing, but all the same. Just be careful.
And remember...you don't owe these people anything, Number Two.
