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.

[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...?

[The way you gave the gag-tag and I lost it because:]
You remind me of Chris. The detective's little brother.

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