(does not count towards AC)

I could kill him, if that would help.

[He laughed a breath, but there was very little humor there.]

No, you know I wouldn't be okay with that. Maybe he's learned something important by coming back a second time.

Like what, exactly?

I don't know.

[It was mostly wishful thinking, let's be honest.]

I still can't believe no one told me about Allison.

If people thought you knew, why would they tell you?

That can't possibly be the only thing bothering you.

I don't know what is really bothering me.

[And that is also bothering him.]

Do you want me to check?

[He looked at Thomas blankly.]

Check what?

Check and see what's bothering you.

How would you do that?

[He's not sure he likes that idea.]

I can reach into your memories and see if there's something in particular bothering you. I can pull it forward, and then you'll know.

[Scott frowned, unsure.]

Can I really trust you to do that?

I did it for Bucky Barnes. He's my friend.

Of course, he did hit me with his robot arm. But that was reflexive, not on purpose.

Then I want you to say that about me first.

That you have a robot arm?

Riddle for you- who care about you and has helped save you on more than one occasion? Hint, you just said Bucky was one.

A friend?

And what am I?

You're part of my skulk. Do you know what that is?

You've told me before. It's like part of your pack?

But I want you to say that I'm your friend.

Like family.

Fine. You're my friend, bakemono. Happy?

Yes.

[And he does smile a little victoriously.]

Where are you? I'll come to you.

Outside the trailer. I have to send the monkey dog back to the void. Unless you want it.
