[ Setting mini-goals for himself helps a lot. Now he has more to think about. And there's been a few conversations here and there that have solidified his need to try. ]
Mm... [ A beat. He hesitates. ] Don't think he likes me much.
I seriously doubt he'd try anything. He's all about the healing. And he probably doesn't hold it against you, either, I bet. He's way less high-strung than a lot of us.
No, I doubt he'd try anything. Still could mean he dislikes me. [ Royce says, with a bit of a sigh. And then, reluctantly: ] I don't - trust doctors. Healers.
...ah. Okay. He's probably one of the good ones, but I get it.
[ It's too bad. He wants his friends to be friends, and Rhys has already catapulted his way up to being 'someone who understands'. ]
Well, there's plenty of cupboards in the intact houses that you can use. Just set up a point like Alfie did for the opening of the Pass, and that should work fine.
Yeah. We'll probably use the same one Alfie set up. Set up more. [ Sniff. ] We'll look for places to set up as we go.
Might drop off supplies for the healer Rhys, if he needs them. Not going to pass him up just because he dislikes me - if I did that nobody would get supplies.
You know, you can ask if he doesn't like you, and act accordingly. That works, I'm pretty sure.
But yeah, if you just want to let him know where they are, that works, too. I bet he'd appreciate it, no matter how things went talking with him before.
Not any worse than any other conversation I've had. People in general tend to dislike talking to me in the first place. It doesn't bother me, it's just the way that it is.

I mean, unless you saw a side of him I haven't.

You tell him I'm doing this. That way he actually answers me.
no subject
Sure I will. I was planning to anyway.
That first talk must've been pretty bad if you don't think he'd even answer you.
