Five says that once, if you told him he'd live with the Master in one place for over a year, he'd think you'd gone mad and tell you so. Now it's happened, so he's probably the mad one, yet it keeps him, to some degree, sane. The stagnancy is forced on him; the companionship is what he pulls from it, for better or worse. If, however, you call he and the Master 'married', he might let the Master backhand you.
Five says he's still trying to pound that into the skulls of the Council, because they are not, in fact, the most brilliant and insightful people in the world and there must be proof before they act. He refuses to be swept into the insidious game of picking a perpetrator and sweeping them under the rug.
d!Five finds this amusingly ironic, since human thoughts occur in human minds and people need to be alive to make any use of them. Defending books is all well and good, but perhaps those who would write them ought to be valued more highly.
Remus has never been asked about exotic fruits before, and has a bemused look on his face that's rather cute. He does say, however, that fruit is quite nice whether it's exotic or not, and he's always willing to try a new one. Besides, fruit makes potions tastier.
Simon believes that people ought to be able to forgive each other anything, and move on, but he knows it's not something he's capable of. He'll never forgive the Alliance for violating River's mind, he'll never forgive his parents for abandoning her. He hasn't actually forgiven Jayne for giving them up, but realises holding that grudge and acting on it will only make things worse, and he's a sensible person who can put his emotions aside if he needs to. If any of them ended up on his operating table, however, he would do his best to save them, because that's what doctors do.

I'm rather proud of Simon for acknowledging that he hasn't manage to forgive despite believing that people should.
And over all, thank you. It's always interesting to read their responses.

It took him a while. For a bit he was too consumed with rage.
:D Thank you. It's fun writing them.
