...I think it's because whenever you turn on this barge there's always another surprise.

I've never known that to prevent people from holding conversations.

What do you want to talk about?

[whattheytellyou]

I haven't the slightest idea.

[A beat.]

Small talk?

Where are you from? What do you do? Married? Kids? Goldfish?

I think it's about time I see what all the fuss was about don't you? Where all the life-changing attitudes are coming from? Maybe it'll work for me since nobody seems to be going out of their way to change my life.

You can't rely on others to change your life for you. It makes you a reactionary. If you want change, initiate it yourself. I know you can do it - after all that bluster about pulling yourself out of bad situations? You can do it better than anyone else.

I watched them with Amanda. Do you -

[There's an extremely long pause.]

Do you want someone [read: me] to watch them with you?

[GDIT there goes his bad mood. Then a nasty expression.]

I don't think that'd be the best idea. You don't want to antagonize your inmate do you? You don't want to step back and make little to no progress.

[Then, serious]

I can handle this shit. If she can handle it, I can handle it. It's what you take from adversity. Morrigan understood that. So did Jo-Jigsaw.

[That nasty expression just puts her off. She's clearly done talking.]

You obviously know best.

[most_feared]

This is honestly more than I talked to people in my life.

[whattheytellyou]

I believe it.

Who would punch you, Loki? You're all right.

She does have a temper. I tried talking to her about academics. You'd think I told her to cut off her own foot.

For such a small place full of so many people, it is remarkably easy to be anti-social. [SHE SHOULD KNOW, she's been trying. :|]

[whattheytellyou]

I think it has to do with overexertion. The floods get to us, the inmates, the incidents, and all we want to do is have some time to not think about it.
