[It was hard not to automatically talk down on himself. But if he himself was saying this... Well, if he was being nice to himself on both sides in any fashion, that was improvement of some kind, right?]
I guess it would take that to reply, too, right? [Ugh, this is gross and sappy.] Nevermind, that sounds lame. Forget I said that.
The point is, it's fine. You don't have to like me or anything like that, but I don't want to give us one more thing to deal with.
[Yeah damn, that's way too sappy for him. You can probably imagine the face he's making at it.] ...Gladly.
[And honestly...he's not sure quite what to make of that point. So no hostilities- or at least taking out frustration on each other- but he can still dislike him? Can he still avoid his friends? Pretend he doesn't exist?]
[So, excuse him as he tries to figure out wtf he's supposed to do with this point]
So...does this mean we just leave each other alone?
It sounds pretty tempting, I'll admit. ...But I don't think it should be that easy.
[There was always going to be someone he didn't want to see or speak to, but why was he going to be a coward about that? Especially when that someone is just some version of himself. It speaks volumes if he runs even from that.]
It's not like I'm expecting us to be buddy buddy or anything like that. It's just, I doubt things are going to work out that smoothly. And maybe we should just deal with it a bit better than ignoring each other out of spite.
So, you're just going to have to deal with putting up with my mug once in a while. ...But I won't tell you how to live. Sound fair?
[There's a pause. He wants to argue, and find some reason to avoid Zelos- buuut he knows with his luck that actually happening is pretty unlikely. Ugh.]
[And so, sounding closer to a sullen teen than anything else]
