Is it fucked that I give enough of a shit about how you might feel about it to say something?

[unlawful]

a little bit but you're not beyond leveling w someone when you share common ground w them
crais was our common ground

( insofar that they both had some form of a relationship with him. )

you know there isn't a single shitty thing in my life i regret doing?

[protocol]

[ wash honestly doesn't believe that. not because he's under the impression that felix is secretly a good person deep down, he's not quite so naïve, but because he knows damn well that felix has the capacity to love and to care, deeply care, about some things in his life. love, for wash, is inextricably tied to pain and loss and regret, and he has every reason to believe that there are things around felix's loves he regrets. ]

I'm sure there are some things.

But probably not the shittiest things you've ever done, yeah.

[unlawful]

well, i'll give you that
some things

( one thing. )

not chorus, though

[protocol]

I didn't think you did.

It seemed like you were having fun.

[unlawful]

what gave it away? all my maniacal monologuing?

[protocol]

You do love hearing yourself talk.

But yeah, that and all the insufferable smirking.

[unlawful]

how would you have known?
i was in full rig every time we met

[protocol]

Could hear it on you.

[unlawful]

was half-expecting you to say you somehow caught a peek of me without my helmet on

[protocol]

[ WELL ]

A couple times.

[unlawful]

no shit?

[protocol]

Does that surprise you?

[unlawful]

a little
thought i was more careful than that

[protocol]

Had to keep an eye on you. Caught a glimpse or two.

[ enough for him to remember. ]

[unlawful]

was i what you were expecting?

[protocol]

Prettier than I thought you'd be.

[ irritatingly enough. ]

Not exactly why I was keeping an eye on you, though.

[unlawful]

why else? was i already flagging on your radar as sus?

[protocol]

Don't take it personally. Everyone does.

[ and clearly, he'd ultimately been fooled. ]

[unlawful]

right
what was it i said back then?
aggressive, paranoid, and a little melodramatic?

[protocol]

Those words exactly. Lifted straight from what I can only assume to be one of the Counsellor's reports.

Doesn't seem like I was paranoid enough, that time.
