Not very much. Never is a long time, and cutting someone off completely is a big act.

There are things you could do that would make me leave.

[bywolves]

Such as?

[devoutish]

Becoming too reckless. Becoming untrustworthy.

[bywolves]

Reckless is not my usual state of being. What counts as untrustworthy for you?

[devoutish]

Nothing that I think you'd do.

[bywolves]

[ Pause, folding his arms: ] ... I'll be less reckless soon.

[devoutish]

You're not planning anything, are you?

[bywolves]

No. Not currently.

[devoutish]

Then how do you know?

[bywolves]

I don't. I'm making empty statements to you because I don't want you to go anywhere. [ internal shrieking ] I can't be sure if dying helps or not.

[devoutish]

No. You can't. And you cannot assume that you would come back.

The recklessness was there before the mania. You don't take good care of yourself when you're sick and injured, and that's fucking worrying.

[bywolves]

Assuming that I'll come back is the mania speaking.

I take care of myself as much as I'm able. You just don't believe me when I say I can keep going.

[devoutish]

When you have badly broken fingers in a place like this, no, I don't.

[bywolves]

Broken fingers do not impede my ability to walk.

[devoutish]

You need to do more than walk here.

[bywolves]

What, exactly, would you have me do if I broke my fingers? Find a house to sit in and do nothing until they healed? We don't have that sort of time.

[devoutish]

Let us splint them and wrap them up without fuss.

[bywolves]

[ Because forced honesty: ]

I didn't trust you or Tifa then as much as I do now. I wouldn't kick up as much of a fuss if it happened today.

[devoutish]

Good.
