You're both morons.

[isitablurred]

Thanks for that warm diagnosis.

[under_thehood]

Gosh, you're so welcome.

[isitablurred]

You're not very subtle, Jason.

[under_thehood]

Subtle wasn't the goal, mocking you was.

[isitablurred]

Do you think it was easy for me, hearing his voice?

Retroactively encrypted the whole thread.

[under_thehood]

We're not having this talk.

[isitablurred]

Why? Why not, Jason? Because I don't need to hear what you've got to say?

[under_thehood]

Make up whatever reason you want, I don't care.

[isitablurred]

I still want to talk to you.

[under_thehood]

I still don't give a crap.

I'll keep out of the Cave without you having to change anything if you just leave me the hell alone. Deal?

[isitablurred]

No deal. Without him here to bark his orders it's your home as much as anyone else's. How about this deal--you promise not to blow it up, and I'll let you continue to have access to it. To the resources and to the shelter.

Come up with a better deal if you want me off your back about feelings and responsibility.

[under_thehood]

That's the only deal I'm interested in.

How about I don't blow up the Cave or anything else in Port (except in self-defense) and I don't shoot you unless you're in the way in exchange for you getting off my back.

[isitablurred]

I'm not scared of you Jason.

But I'll keep out of your way, if you bare one thing in mind. I know how it feels to lose my father. I know that it consumes you.

That's it.

[under_thehood]

You think that makes us similar in any way? You're deluding yourself.

[isitablurred]

We were both outcasts. We both felt pressed by the violence of our pasts; felt that our destiny was carved into who and what we were. We were both adopted by great men who did everything they could to change that. We are both of us fatherless--I lost mine twice.

And we've both killed.
