Private
We came from a middle of a really bad war. Friends dying. Not sure if we're gonna win. Things like that. And he's not great at talking feelings in general, you know? But he's not a bad person, just blunt. A lot of people here get set off really easily. Suppose everyone's stressed and worried. But people are taking things he says much worse than he means them. And then he gets defensive and it just spirals. I'm trying to keep him even and stop him from putting his foot in his mouth, but sometimes he can't help it.
James, nice to meet you.
Nah, it's not anything special. Just what best friends do, look out for each other.
