[that's the thing -- hunter considers himself plenty book-smart. but as far as this interpersonal stuff goes... he's doing leagues better than before, but he's still pretty damn ignorant on the whole.]

I -- think you're giving me too much credit. [at least in this one instance. if he's honest with himself, he doesn't know that he would've ever considered how the revived individuals might feel about it, if not for... his own situation. before he even know about that, he'd have walked all over countless people for what could be perceived as his own benefit.

but as much as he's comfortable around vash, their trust isn't nearly strong enough to get into hunter's reasoning.]

Thank you. For letting me talk to you about it. Sorry to just... drop it on you out of nowhere.
