I suppose everyone ends up asking stupid questions on here sooner or later.

So how would you define a friendship?

Friendship? What's the trouble, Pardner?

[wears_a_torc]

Not trouble exactly.

I just got into an argument with someone.

[in_texas]

That's not so bad.

[wears_a_torc]

You make it sound like you were worried about me.

[Flandre still sounds depressed, but she tries not to let it creep into her voice. She only partially succeeds.]

Friends are...people that want to be with you, and talk to you, and are nice to be around. They smile, and remember your name, and aren't afraid.

[She has a rather...odd definition of friendship, yes.]

[wears_a_torc]

[But it's one he can understand better than some.]

But why do they want to be with someone? Do you help them? Or do they think you're nice? Or -

[Wait did she say..?]

People are scared of you?

[u_n_asplode]

I don't know. They like you.

[Flandre pauses--and her voice becomes quiet.]

Yes. They...remember me as a monster first. And then maybe my name, second or third.

...it's better here, but...it still hurts.

[wears_a_torc]

...So what is your name?

Mine's Knuckles.

[witchoftheweek]

...A reciprocal relationship between people you care for, and care for you in teturn.

[wears_a_torc]

So it doesn't always matter how useful one friend is to another?

[witchoftheweek]

I suppose it depends on how you define useful.

[wears_a_torc]

I suppose it does doesn't it...

[Stupid Minato making him question things that he thought he had figured out years ago.]

[musicboxsoldier]

Friendships or allies...it's just someone that is reliable and you can depend on.

[wears_a_torc]

What if someone who's your friend and ally helped you a great deal, and doesn't want anything in return?

Doesn't that make you less dependable?

[musicboxsoldier]

I wouldn't think so.

Perhaps it's their duty to help others without asking anything in return.

[wears_a_torc]

It's not that, he let's me pay him back for the little things.

[voice] Should Knuckles be worried?

[wears_a_torc]

I know.

It's something that came up in conversation and I wanted to get some more opinions on it.
