[ With the slightest trace of amusement: ] That's patronizing.

Whatever it's worth, you make sense to me.

[cactusy]

It sure is. I give her crap about her underdeveloped teenage brain in exchange.

You make sense to me, too.

[aluminumandash]

When you asked why I couldn't take her, why it wouldn't be a good idea. [ A hum, dissatisfied. ] I gave you a bullshit excuse.

I'm a violent piece of shit, and that's the truth.

[cactusy]

Would you have hurt her, or is this some self-loathing thing?

[aluminumandash]

[ He gives an irritated scoff, stops short of rolling his eyes. ] Self-loathing's just ego by another name.

I wouldn't put a hand on her. But that...it'd still touch her, yeah?

[cactusy]

Maybe.

I'm violent too, and I'm basically a sociopath. Would that touch her?

[aluminumandash]

If you're in your head about it, sure. Ain't the authority on you, though.

That your word, sociopath?

[cactusy]

Personality disorder is kinder, but I figure I'm allowed to be flippant about my own brain chemistry if I want to be.

[aluminumandash]

[ A noncommittal noise. He has a humor disorder. ] That why you went into medicine? Figure yourself out?

[cactusy]

[EYEROLL. It's not really his fault, though.]

I went into medicine to help people. I thought I'd be good at it. I was good at it - the medical parts, anyway. I got kicked out for not doing well with the patients on a personal level.
