WHO: sami rowd, dami brat & pals WHEN: jan - feb WHERE: places WHAT: a catch-all NOTES\WARNINGS: discussions of death, dismemberment, arson, child endangerment, and someone in here will probably start a fight at some point.
[Accelerator can feel his jaw clench, a reflexive aversion hitting him when Damian calls them friends. Friendship isn't something he does. If asked, he wouldn't hesitate to say he doesn't and has never had friends back home. He had said that when 37 claimed they were friends, and he had gotten his foot stomped on.
Are they friends? He could say he trusts Damian, and Damian trusts him, but he isn't sure if that's enough of a solid foundation for friendship. In terms of academics he could spout off a few sociological theories, he isn't sure if that knowledge would help in this situation. He feels a little lost, and he doesn't want a kick to the shin or to piss Damian off when he's actually opening up. Objectively, he knows a kid is confiding in someone and communicating it's a good thing.
He just looks away awkwardly.]
Right. Yeah. I'll keep all of this to myself.
[You can trust him, Damian! Even if he's having a bit of an internal crisis over the f-word.]
