Re: Misha B/Damian W
You say it a whole lot to folks, so I don't never think you really mean it. I figure it's like my using pet names some? Just something that's part of talking. But that's me interpreting wrong, and you ain't got to talk to nobody you don't want to talk to, Dami. That's always real true. I talk at Dietre on account of I reckon I can do good there, but that's my nature, and there ain't changing that bout me, not that I can see. But that don't mean you got to befriend the boy. [He notices.] You're real good at ignoring my compliments, and don't think I don't realize. And I'm fine. Don't fuss over me. We're selling the carnival. I don't want to hold onto it and have folks think we're shirking by not managing, and I can find work and don't you fuss over that neither.
They'll be regretting on account of you gave a whole lot more in a whole lot of ways than a regular owner's going to do. [...] I am happy, sweetheart. Janus and Dietre, they're just flawed folks, and I see good and bad in them, and it don't make me unhappy to have them be how they are. But I see the world in different shades than living folk, and you shouldn't never compare to what I see or how I react to folks.
