[He snorts.]

Noted. I wouldn't want them to be encouraged.

[transmittable]

...Why were you guys so worried about me? I mean...I get Amiable. Somehow. But you, and some others.

[ossifragant]

It was a little alarming hearing you suddenly switch speaking manners.

I don't know-- I can't speak for others, but I like talking to you.

[transmittable]

...I can kinda tell that, you know? Sometimes, who likes talking to me and who doesn't. Guess it's still just weird to hear you guys say it.

[ossifragant]

Maybe it's pretty weird, but I've always been a bit of an outsider, you know? Not one to follow the rules except when it suits him.

I guess what I'm saying is I don't really have much desire to stop talking to you any time soon.

[transmittable]

You guys are all so weird. You know that right?

[ But it sounds fond, so. ]

Just make sure that opinion doesn't get you- like, get you in trouble with the rest of the group. Got me?

[ossifragant]

Don't worry about it.

I think people have already accepted I'm a weirdo.

[He's clearly saying this in good humor, though!]

[transmittable]

Some of the best people are weirdos.

Seriously, though. I'm still, in strictest terms, your "enemy," and the rest of those guys are more your "allies," so... Just be careful.

[ossifragant]

Right.

I'll keep that in mind.

[transmittable]

...And uh. How are you feeling? With all the...sick-stuff?

[ossifragant]

About as well as I can be feeling, I think.

I'm not worried at the moment.

[transmittable]

Let me know if it... You know, if it gets worse.

[ossifragant]

....Okay. I'll be sure to.
