[He can understand that. Most of the time he's miserable to be around, regardless of whether or not he wants to be alone.]

Okay. Then you should know I'm not a good person for that kind of thing. I'm not empathetic, and I'm not good at talking shit out.

[He isn't totally sure if he wants to accept the apology, it still doesn't feel needed to him.]

[cantilevers]

[He'd been around Accelerator enough to know the kid was probably speaking truth. There were still enough similarities at this point for him to make the connection.]

It wouldn't have been what you could or couldn't do. Just not being alone is usually enough, but that moment has long passed. You should potentially give yourself more credit than you do when it comes to your empathy.

[levelshift]

Don't start. I don't want to hear it.

[Read it, whatever.]

You're doing better, anyways?

[cantilevers]

You’re such a teenager. I doubt you care, but it does make you more endearing, just so you know.

[Yeah, yeah he was going to poke the bear a little. Teens!]

In a manner of speaking. If I’m not, you going to take me out gaming?

[levelshift]

[Endearing? Endearing????????????? Oh god, what does he do with that???]

Oh, fuck off.

Absolutely not. Find someone else if you want to play video games.

[There's no way he can do something nice after being called endearing. It's too much.]

[cantilevers]

[Classic teen move. Kid was only making this worse on himself.]

And where would you like me to 'fuck off' to exactly?

Fine, I'll just sit here all alone contemplating my emotional state.

[This was both a tease and a play.]

[levelshift]

Don't know, don't care.

Great, you do that.

[He knows he's being teased, that seems pretty obvious. He isn't going to fall for it.]

[cantilevers]

Come on, you're going to order me off, may as well give specific instructions as to where.

Keep at it, Accelerator. Make yourself more endearing.

[levelshift]

[God, he reads that and nearly texts back with explicit, curse-laden instructions on where Vander can shove it.

Buuut that'd be a bit immature. He realizes that, so instead he opts to leave him on read.]
