Because you both want to win for you units to protect them. I don't think he's suited for this kind of game for the same reason. You both might even be good at it, but it doesn't make it right for you guys.
Only because I'm selfish. ... I dragged everyone around with me last round because I was selfish, and then they all died. I survived, though. So I guess I really am suited for survival.
[ .... damnit he just wanted to talk shit about himself for a second.
his eyes shift down, not really because he's trying to avoid... well, no it's also because of that, but he has to. piece everything together in a way that makes sense, and in a way that he can actually share with Phoenix. ]
Last round I was with Lucifel, Lavender, and Yasuragi. ... we tried to find a place to lie low, but we ended up getting into a fight. We probably would have never gotten into that fight in the first place if we-- sensitIV-- hadn't killed that one girl the round before that, but hell if I know-- [ ... god he didn't want to get upset again but here he is ]
Yasuragi shot at them first, and all I remember after that is a fight and the next thing I knew Lucifel and Yasuragi were dead. I don't know what happened to Lavender but I'm sure he died too.
[ so as it turns out he's actually pretty shit at protecting everyone ]
[Oh. He did n't expect to hear so much bad but maybe he should have he was HERE in the last house thing and this is just another weird version of it isn't it?
He reaches forward, carefully, fingers sliding to the back of Loki's neck to drag him down to forehead to forehead contact.]
I'm really glad you survived. Even if that's selfish of me.
Of course I'm upset. I'm upset that this situation sucks. I'm upset we're in a place where struggling for our lives is entertainment. I'm upset that people you love and I love died in front of you and I'm upset you're going to be blaming yourself for not protecting them, probably.
actually he can't. help but laugh. it's strained, maybe borderline manic, but there's tears cornering his eyes as he leans into Phoenix and just. laughs. this is so much. he doesn't know how to respond to any of this, but he does know that the sudden image of Phoenix throwing a car is just too funny. ]

Re: THE DEAD CENTER
And besides, isn't "surviving" a part of this game? Putting yourself and yours above all others... I'm perfectly suited for that.

Re: THE DEAD CENTER
............. honestly he cannot take someone being kind to him right now this is actually awful why would you do this to a dumb dog.
he inhales, shaky, but he's not moving away, ]
Are...aren't you upset?
Re: THE DEAD CENTER
I'm so upset about so much I could throw a car.

A car? Really??
Re: THE DEAD CENTER
Yeah, well, a horse sounded a bit cruel and all.
Re: THE DEAD CENTER
Yeah... I can't picture you throwing a horse at all.
Re: THE DEAD CENTER
Yeah, that'd be pretty silly, huh?
Re: THE DEAD CENTER
he leans against Phoenix though. closing his eyes. ]
It's silly.... you're way too small to pick up a horse.
Re: THE DEAD CENTER
Yeah? Maybe it could be a little horse.
