[Not that he's going to admit that he feels misjudged, but it IS Hope's fault. THEY'VE DISCUSSED IT AND HE THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE BOTH MATURE ENOUGH TO MOVE ON.
You're right, I don't. But I know Hope, and I know how upset he was after you two were forced to kiss. [And yes, that colored her opinion quite harshly. Sorry, man.]
The fact you're not asking about this calmly isn't helping your case either.
Look. I've been gone for a while. I wanted to help the kid out and... [He gives a frustrated growl. Gokudera, the Vongola's Storm Guardian is not known for being calm. Not even under the best circumstances]
How the hell could that even be my fault?! Hope is the one who brought the damned candy! He's the one that suggested doing something like that in the first place! He should take responsibility for something like that!
And he turned you down. [For good reason, as far as she's concerned. Live wires are never good in situations like this.]
There's a difference between taking responsibilty for your actions and laying the blame on someone else. You could have refused and called for outside help to get the bot to let you leave, but you didn't. You went ahead with Hope's plan, and this is the price.
Then you need to calm down and think. [Light glare. It's Hope's plan. If he can't see that and do whatever Hope asked, even if that means backing down...] We need a distraction, not someone about to blow up in our faces.
SAMM wouldn't have let you starve. You could have waited for someone to find you.
What the hell makes you think I'd blow up in your faces!?! If I wanted to do that I wouldn't be offering to HELP! [It's Hope's plan, sure. If he wanted to take real initiative, he wouldn't be looking for her approval]
Oh, so you'd have been cool with him suffering in there right along with me? They closed off that bathroom so no one would interfere. We did all that we could!
The way you're acting right now, that's what. You're a live wire, kid. The only question is when you're going to blow up. [The approval that he's....not going to get anytime soon. Not if he keeps yelling.]
All that you could do means holding out until the enemy withdraws. Every step we take in this place is another battle. [But that is...over now. Very much over.] But it doesn't matter anymore. So stop yelling and calm down if you want to help.
[A twitch. You can't see it, but it's there. He doesn't really take offense to that. His name throughout the mafia world IS "Smoking Bomb Hayato." but he can't just calm down. There are means to taking when it comes to defusing bombs...]
Are you trying to piss me off?
Hope said it was because of how you guys felt about SAthat incident that I couldn't help! If SAMM wouldn't have let us starve, we'd have been kept there with that damn candy as our only source of food. The same shit would have happened all over again and I can bet you my boss' life that I would still be getting the blame for what happened!
Why the hell do you think I'm yelling in the first place?!
[Means that she was never taught, sadly. Bomb squad and main batallions never learned the same things.]
Because you can't keep a cool head and realize that yelling isn't going to make us trust you anymore than the incident did.
I am going to say this once. If you can't keep a cool head, you're a liability. That makes you a problem to the rest of us, which means I have a problem with you.
[Smart boy. Keep this up and maybe she'll vouch for you.]
That's what we all want to do. If you can keep your temper under control, talk to Hope again and offer to help. But if he says no, you're going to have to deal with it and not do anything stupid by trying to be a hero.
Keep my temper under control...? As if I'd lose it in battle! [He's partly saving face, partly being outright honest. He is a tactical genius in battle, and would only do something stupid if it meant keeping someone safe... other than himself]
He didn't reject me outright! It was more or less a question as to what you and Snow thought of me!
You were a half step away from losing it not five minutes ago. [Saving face or covering his ass, she doesn't really care. What she cares about is Hope getting the help he needs.]
You have your answer from me. So long as you're not a liability, we won't have a problem. [Yes, she'll vouch for you if you keep that temper in check.]
With your attitude, yeah.

Wha-?! You don't even know me!

I couldn't get a signal! I refused, and we were stuck in there for hours!

I don't want to be a member of your little team. I just want to help Hope and get home.

[He has to try SO HARD not to respond with an insult that there's a quickly clipped grunt]
Understood
