So do you guys ever still think about how bizarre this place is, or do you pretty much just get used to it after a while? It's weird as hell, the stuff you just start accepting after a while – you don't even think about how most of us came from a place where cats don't hatch out of eggs.

(...I say "most" because some jerk out there's going to pop up and prove me wrong, you just watch. Even if you also hatch your damn cats, I'm pretty sure there's something here that's out of the ordinary.)

I don't know if there's much point to this, but there's not much point to anything that goes on around here, anyway. I don't know, even if this place is better than whatever's going on back home, sometimes you miss being useful, too. Another thing to get used to, I guess.

...No, really, I am getting sick of the kittens-from-eggs thing. I'm going to have more cats than I do Swablus at this rate.

I see. I hope your friend will be okay.

[...........]

And obviously I hope everything will go well for you guys too.

[fatalissimo]

Yeah, we're all kind of aware that we're probably going to have to beat down on someone close to us one day. Me too, sort of. It's just how this whole thing is going to work.

[glaciates]

It's really unfortunate. I don't really know what that's like. I never had to fight anyone I was close to.

[fatalissimo]

It's my dad, in my case. If it's not necessary I'm not going to go out of my way to kick his ass, and I'm not going to say that I think he'd kill me or anything because I don't think he would.

It's kind of like what we've talked about before, I guess. It sucks, but you've got to do it anyway so there's no feeling bad about it.

[glaciates]

It's awful to have to turn against your own family like that. I know what you mean though. You've got a job to carry out and it's unfortunate, but sometimes you've got to prioritize doing that over your family.

[fatalissimo]

Yeah, exactly. I'll be fine either way, though, so don't do anything stupid like worrying about me, okay?

[glaciates]

It's kind of hard to stop worrying, you know...

[fatalissimo]

Maybe. I'm fucked up, remember.

But I get what you're saying, I'm just telling you it's not really necessary.

[glaciates]

Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not going to stop. Someone's got to do it!

[fatalissimo]

You make a practice out of worrying about people more than they worry about themselves?

[glaciates]

I guess I do. I never really thought about it before.]

[fatalissimo]

Well, like you said, someone's got to.

[glaciates]

Yeah. I don't mind it.

[He's never sure how he can help, but that's another matter entirely!]
