The One With One Head [Video]

[Scrad is looking angry. And alone. No backpack. No Charlie. He shakes slightly as he speaks.]

I want. The rest of my body back. Right. Now.

If I don't get it, I'm gonna...

[Scrad's eyes dart to the side, and his mouth opens and closes soundlessly, before he just cuts the the feed. Charlie would know what they were gonna do, but he has no idea.]

Well, everyone has to deal with a certain level of ambient bullshit. People aren't perfect, especially around here. But everybody has the right to decide where their limit is and how much they're willing to bloody take. When I was much more addled than I am now, I learned to tolerate odd looks, but neither me nor my clanmates would put up with nasty comments. Like that.

I guess I just would. Put up with that.

Well, here's a good fucking rule of thumb to remember. If you wouldn't put up with someone doing or saying something to a buddy, don't put up with someone doing it to you. They wouldn't.

Okay. But what if we would put up with it? Because we don't have buddies?

Welp. I do like you, and if you trust my judgment that should tell you something.

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Why? Do you like us.

[Arkady has to take a moment to rein in the torrent of snark that seems to wish to tumble from her lips.]

You're fun, you're funny, you're interesting to talk to, and you've never been judgmental no matter how weird the conversation got.

[Scrad shrugs.]

We've seen weirder.

Scrad...look. For a while we were the only strange beings on our world and they knew about us. And we were hunted. Any sort of person who can take me as I am is more valuable to me than I think you can imagine. I like you. Case closed.
