[ As painfully unnecessary feeds go, please appreciate this one for having 254.6(6)% more muttering, fumbling and awkward pauses than your average sheepish interlude. ]

...sorry. Sorry about everything that's been happening. The losses. The... inconvenience. Sorry about all that.

[ It appears he is growing a spine for the next part - ]

And sorry, but - what's a good job for someone who... can't do anything?

[ ...and that the spine has now entered evolutionary recession. Muffled rambling mode: engaged. ]

Not fix things, not tell jokes, not do your physics homework, not herd cattle, not... be a... witch, not really punch, not carry the groceries without ruining the eggs, not... nothing. Nothing at all.

[ Sigh. ]

What's a good job for someone like that? And where could they get it? Along with about forty-two mops. Thank you.

That sounds... nice. Carefree.

Mm.

It was.

You should do it again.

-- I will.

[What he can. On the side. His job at the hospital and trying to be an Exorcist without... really being an Exorcist -- that comes first.]

[Heh --

His tone brightens, though.]

Thanks to you.

[ What in the world even -- ]

Don't put responsibility on the person who just happened to be around when you decided.

[? Responsibility?]

It's not like that?

[Er --]

... It's not that it wasn't already something I missed. But it's hard to remember that sort of thing in a war and when you have to fight, so I hadn't really thought about the possibility of it for a long time.

Even with everything happening like it is now, there is some time maybe for that, but I hadn't thought of it yet.

[He tends to always be distracted by whatever's in front of him and in need. It can make him forget the obvious things sometimes.]

So -- thank you for that.

[ This is not the same silence as the ones preceding.

It comes with a standard 85% awkwardness, and a very notable remainder in sulkiness. ]

You're... bothersome.

I --

[What.]

...sorry?

[This is confusion. Very real, very much more boggled than he is used to being boggled by most people confusion. What does he keep doing wrong.

It's getting frustrating.]

...it's bothersome when you shed your feelings or gratitude on someone, without considering whether they want to be involved with them.

[ ... ]

[It reminds him, almost. Of someone he knows.

Not exactly, but. It does have him suddenly very aware of his tongue and that he should hold it.]

I wasn't aware gratitude was considered a bothersome sort of thing.

I was under the impression it's generally considered courteous.

For small, or obvious things. Making someone a part of something personal to you, even indirectly, is... unusual. Like grabbing a stranger's hand.

["Grabbing a stranger's" --

...

-- It's none of your business, Allen, you know it's a bad idea...]

Like Kaworu.

[ ...oh. Oooooh. He thinks he sees the real question there. ]

It's fine for you to like him.

[ -- hah?

No it was more... ... the two of you have a really fucked up relation that he can't begin to understand and... he was getting a little worried for Kaworu and -- ]

Pardon?

...that's what you're worried about, isn't it? That he'll do something strange, when you're not looking, since his boundaries are... strange?

Don't worry. He's -- house-trained.

[ ... ]

House-trained?

He doesn't break anything.

[ ................ ]

[He is. Going to have to grant you that, er... Well... It's true, Kaworu can be a little... misguided with his actions... and that can be a little... well things come out a little weirder than he probably really means them to. That sure, it's strange, it might make some people uncomfortable (it can make Allen squirm, sure) and there are things he should really learn to temper --]

[ -- but it's intent and someone's heart that matters most. ]

I'm sorry -- [And it is very polite, but there is quite is a lower brusqueness to it. Something with absolute certainty.]

-- but that's not a sort of thing I care about.

Then you have nothing at all to worry about.

[ What -- ]

I'm not.
