[She shrugged, a little ashamed of herself because of what she had assumed, but essentially... yeah, he shouldn't have said what he did.]

He should have warned me that was a problem before we got on the train.

[Maybe he would have if she'd gotten on with him? Or maybe not, as he was too busy doing a jig on her buttons.]

[godbent]

He's a guy, Katara. [She sighs, and shakes her head] Even if we're way stronger than him - I don't know if you are I just know you're strong so I'm assuming it's a possibility - he'd still want to be the one "protecting" you even if it's just to feed is own ego.

[markofthebrave]

[She looks down soberly.]

Oh, I'm sure he would like that.

[godbent]

[...Haruhi shifts, now lean-sitting against the desk itself] I don't know the guy, so I can't know if that's him being sexist, or if it's just his pride. ...Or well, I guess manly pride is sexist, but we're raised to like it. Even I'm subject to it a bit.

[markofthebrave]

That might be part of it, but... for him I think it's just... to be dependable, to be the one to protect someone he - cares - about would be a really big deal.

[godbent]

Mm. Do you dislike that?

[markofthebrave]

...not really.

[...]

More like I wish he was able to be depended on. I think he's working on it, but I'm worried that the more pressure he puts on himself to do it, the harder it'll be for him.

[godbent]

So he's really that undependable?

[Hm]

[markofthebrave]

He thinks he is. I'm... not sure.

[She looks at Haruhi now.]

I'd trust him enough to give him a chance, but not enough to not want a plan B.

[godbent]

...Sounds like an annoyingly worthless guy to me.

[...Seriously, a hassle]

[markofthebrave]

[Girl, don't you even.]

He's not worthless.

[godbent]

You just said you needed to make a back up for counting on him. Isn't that a hassle?

[markofthebrave]

It depends on what I'm counting on him for. And even if it is a hassle, that doesn't make him worthless.

[Katara can only think of a few things that would reduce a person's value that much - and Masaomi hasn't done any of them.]

[godbent]

If you say so...

[markofthebrave]

I do say so! Just because you can't completely count on someone in one way, doesn't mean that you can't count on them in others. And it's not as if he's the kind of guy to pathetically offer someone else's life in exchange for his own. He'd never do anything like that.

[He'd just. Freeze. But she can't picture him being that much of a coward in any other way.]

[godbent]

["How did you even get there?" But-] How can you count on him then?

[markofthebrave]

He asks me questions about things that no one else does. And he listens. And he really cares about what I have to say.

[He doesn't need me to be all right.]

[godbent]

[Hah, that's interesting...]

So he's something special.

[markofthebrave]

He certainly thinks so.

[All her friends are special, Haruhi. 8|]

[godbent]

...Unique, then.

[markofthebrave]

[Why stop there?]

Weird, even.

[What do you mean, that wasn't what you were going for, Haruhi?]

[godbent]

[...UGH] In comparison to your other friends. What he does is unique.

[markofthebrave]

Oh. Well. Yes.

[She'd just said that, hadn't she?]

[godbent]

...and how does that make you feel?

[THIS IS LIKE PULLING TEETH]

[markofthebrave]

...it doesn't make me feel like anything. That's just who he is.

[WHY ARE YOU ASKING SUCH WEIRD QUESTIONS.]
