[ wolfwood gives off such gruff old coach vibes to him, giving him this off-hand validation. it sparks a little emotion: exasperation, but in a quietly fond way that he would never admit.
that bleeds quickly into sympathy, though. ]
Mm. Matsui wasn't in good shape to talk.
[ or to do like, anything? how many curses flew around this trial on top of his dark vortex of emotions? help. ]
Do you believe Libby? That it wasn't a strategic pick?
[ He doesn't elabourate, mostly because he doesn't know how to go beyond that. He's only known all of you a short while, and he's not sure how much he can say he understands a majority of you. ]
You don't need much time or understanding to like somebody. [ unfortunately. sometimes you just get attached and you're stuck with incomprehensible friends forever. ] What is it you do?
[ Suffer and deal with it except he won't say it out loud unless it comes up in just the right way. ]
What a way to tell the world that you don't got a whole lot of friends.
I travel from place to place and don't get to know people for long. A lot of 'em, I spend minutes with, maybe a day, and then I don't see 'em again. You don't make friends with temporary clients, especially when your next employer might have a bone to pick with 'em.
I don't have many friends. [ that's true and he doesn't mind saying as much. he has no added sadness today saying as much. actually, making more friends here has literally only led to heartache, so. ] ...But being on the move that much sounds hard.

It's hard to say. We've all only known each other for three weeks, that's not enough time to get a read on anybody.
In the end though, it's hard to deny that it wasn't a good pick from a strategic point.

Mm. It crossed my mind. A lot of people thought it.
[ which is terrible, and might also make him terrible, so there's a quiet wave of guilt here, but he tries not to linger. ]
You can get to know someone pretty fast, though.
[ to him three weeks seems like long enough to be close to someone? and he's not even that good at making friends. ]

He lets the guilt pass without fanfare. He feels no such guilt himself, but hardly his place to tell anyone else off for it. ]
Guess it depends on what your definition of "knowing someone" is.

...Maybe, maybe not.
Think it's a good enough blanket statement though. Don't really make friends with what I do.

I thought I told you. I do odds and ends, whatever'll keep my wallet from letting me starve.

I'm friends with most people I like. I don't like many people though. [ ... ] Why does that mean you don't make friends?

That's contract work for ya.

[ Nor is he that invested in how many friends somebody else has got. If Haru feels fine about it, then that's all that matters. ]
It's what I'm used to. Better than being cooped up if you ask me. Matter of personal taste, but I think I'd just get restless.
