"Right." He could read the tone, but really, why would he give a shit? Even James didn't care all that much. He did, but at the same time he really didn't. How that worked, he wasn't sure, it was just a feeling and one that he couldn't readily explain. He rolled his eyes and shook his head. "If I spend enough time with you, maybe they'll think that anyway." A funny suggestion, but that certainly did have his mind working. He could be quite diabolical at times.
"Fine. I'm not going to argue with you about it. It was.. mildly amusing. Satisfied?" That had to be good enough because that was the best he was going to get.
"It wasn't that long ago." He said, though that was really quite a weak defense. "I.. fixate." He admitted. It was one of his shortcomings and he knew it. "I had never loved anyone before her. It's not easy to just... forget about it. I've tried." He shook his head. "Well, no, I haven't really tried. I say that I have tried but by trying I mean that I have pursued girls that I know will have nothing to do with me and consider that trying." He gave a small shrug of his shoulders. "I've yet to meet someone that I connect with in a way that would make me desire to move on." Easy enough.
