[ If John thought he was out of his depth before, it's nothing like now. Here's someone telling him directly how kind and thoughtful he is. If only she knew the half of what he's done. What he would do, if he had to.
And yet, with each passing day, he talks to more people, finds more people he likes talking to. Kara once told him that he was chosen for the CIA because he was willing to throw everyone away, that he had no connections. But here he is, having accepted a flower from Maria, given Gorgug a book and Shadowheart flowers. All in the guise of Valentine's Day, of course, but he'd thought about it. Thought about these people and these gifts. Can he really say that he has no connections? There's always been that question of whether he could truly betray people if that's what it took to save his world. And here is Shadowheart telling him that he's kind and thoughtful.
He can't throw this away.
He knows what he's done and what he deserves, and it's not friendship, but it looks like he's getting it anyways. ]
I'm a little out of practice, my previous employment didn't leave a lot of room for friends.
