Ya don't really think I'm scary looking, do you...?
[ more curiously. he expects the answer to be no, just because d has been quite... friendly.... if eccentric. but livio still can't really grasp how people aren't scared of him ]
We have to move forward, no matter what. But ya make it sound like you've been through something like this before.
[T-chan is his baby... one of them. Don't laugh at him! He doesn't seem to be offended.]
I'm not sure if I'm an accurate judge for doing well or doing poorly...? Many situations like this are all too different to compare. Are you angry? With how it turned out.
[ livio kind of wants to ask how old he is but that is rude.... ]
I guess I was just curious if you had any thoughts.
[ but that's a good question. is he angry? the whole thing was stupid, from erasure until the end. but with the actual results.... he doesn't really know ]
I don't know if there's much point in being angry. Everyone here's just trying to survive, after all. But I guess it was better than picking the wrong team and them having to decide which one to send to erasure.
It is difficult to say whether it's better or worse. There isn't anything wrong with admitting both weren't an outcome most wanted. Though we shouldn't forget it's an outcome we must decide every week moving forward.
Would be nice if the whole thing could be avoided, but that's not realistic. [ scrubs at his face a little. yeah, neither were a good income. it's just a series of choices, no real right or wrong answer in the end. ]
Like I said, we just have to keep moving forward. So that's what I'm gonna do. [ a beat, though. ] Ya really do worry about me, don't ya?
[ d is right. also help that is so funny but i regret nothing ]
[ even though livio has no idea who these people are. but "little brother" sounds right. he's still in wolfwood's shadow, so.... it makes sense to him in a self-deprecating way ]
Little brother, huh? Kinda ironic considering my height.
[Livio truly assigned baby despite being almost seven foot tall.]
You are very tall, but it isn't your height. It's... your energy. The way you worry about others, the way you're a little quiet, the way you dislike conflict between us. A bit amusing in that Mr. Wolfwood reminds me a lot of the detective in certain ways.
[Assigned big brother and little brother without knowing.]
... Seems like you're pretty fond of this detective and Chris. [ ironic in a way... no matter how big he gets, he's always still just the little brother. ]
[ but, perhaps proving d's point, he does perk up a little bit when d mentions wolfwood ]
[ avoidance of the question noted, mister!!! don't think he didn't notice ]
I think.... we're friends?
[ livio sounds so unsure about whether or not wolfwood likes him despite literally perking up at the sound of his name like a golden retriever ] He's... a really great.

[ or freaking out because he gave himself a tiny cut.... ]
I'm alright, though. Just.... never been through anything like that.

You and a few others are the same. It is unfortunate it will not be your last one.

[Livio is right. He doesn't seem bothered by much of anyone here, not appearance wise especially, and not even Livio.]
I have never participated in a judicial trial, no. But I am accustom to witnessing the tribulations of humanity.

[ aside from being mean to t-chan. livio has to laugh a little, despite everything, just at d's phrasing. it's not mean spirited or anything]
You really do have a flair for the dramatic. So, how'd we do today, overall?

[He reaches up to pull the arm down by the forearm. No scrubbing. Then he just looks up at Livio with a strange, but unreadable expression.]
You remind me of someone is all.

[ he's surprised and a little caught off guard when d takes his arm but doesn't offer any resistance when it's pulled down ]
Is that a good thing or a bad thing...?

He might have. Are the two of you very close?
