[He gives her the most confused little brow wrinkle.

Pardon???]

[resnipstance]

You don't know?

Sometimes you just... go away for a while. You know-- you're here physically, but... it's like your mind is somewhere else.

[theroadwarrior]

[He leans back in his chair, looking at her with a mild frown.

He just says, in such a matter of fact way, like Ahsoka should have just said this instead:]

That's just because I'm insane.

[Which is a perfectly acceptable sign of being alive. Duh.]

[resnipstance]

Huh?

I don't know if I'd go that far...

[theroadwarrior]

[Snort.

He turns to go back to his rather unappealing space food.]

Then you're no good at reading people.

[resnipstance]

[Frysquint.]

Hey! I'm all right at it. You're just selling yourself short. Crazy people can't be reasoned with.

[theroadwarrior]

You're terrible at it.

[He sips from a cup. So rude, this guy.

But he feels it's justified to say. After all, she keeps trying to socialize with him of all people.]

[resnipstance]

Not true! I can tell when people are lying, and I can sometimes get a sense of what they're feeling, if it's a strong emotion.

[theroadwarrior]

[He looks skeptically at her.]

People can be honest and still be difficult to read. People can tell the truth but leave out the lie. Could still hurt you. You can't figure out everything with your, mmm... Whatever you call it. That line of thinking can bite you on the ass.

You should be careful.

[resnipstance]

I'm careful!

[resnipstance]

... Waaaait a minute. Are you worried about me?

[theroadwarrior]

[all these asshole children around me]

[theroadwarrior]

[No but Max tsuns his way right around this, folding his arms.]

If you're not careful, someone else could get into trouble, too.

Don't want it to be me.

[resnipstance]

Relax. If you got into trouble, I'd protect you!

[theroadwarrior]

[Thank god he's not drinking his water, or he'd probably spit it.]

That's ridiculous. You risk too much doing stupid heroics.

[aka don't say nice things like that idk how to absorb it]

[resnipstance]

Well, that was kind of my job description before I came here.

[theroadwarrior]

[He quirks his eyebrow.]

You mean the one you rant about?

[resnipstance]

... Okay, yes. The same one.

But I left the Order because I believed it was failing. Not because I don't believe in protecting people.

[theroadwarrior]

[This is going nowhere. Ahsoka, you're just too optimistic over things that really aren't practical. He rolls his eyes.]

Don't protect 'people'. Too vague. Too difficult to upkeep.

Protect people close to you if you have to.

[resnipstance]

It's cute that you think I'm going to listen to that.

[theroadwarrior]

[Uuuugh.

He looks at her like she smells bad, but continues eating his food.

Whatever, kid, he surrenders. Get yourself impaled for all he cares.

(He doesn't care.)

(HUFF.)]
