love me jan

I wouldn't be using them myself if I thought I'd lose.

Then I'll be counting on you.

[he nods.]

How have you been doing, North?

... Me? I'm fine. I feel like that's what I should be asking you, instead.

Why me?

Well, why were you asking me?

Because quite a bit happened. Why would I not assume that it may be affecting people?

Then there you have your answer. You even went on a roadtrip with Satan this week, remember?

When will people start believing me when I say I'm fine...?

If they insist, it's because they care. Be glad.

I do appreciate it. It's just a bit different, that's all.

... Different, how? Don't tell me this is your first time having someone worry about you.

[he laughs a bit, voicelessly.]

I'm just not usually in a position where it's a point of concern.

What? Not usually in life or death situations?

[It's a joke, and yet.]

On the contrary, it would be stranger to not be, and it's why people don't worry.

And...? You're so jaded, that you never express concern over each other?

[is everyone in shess' world bad at feelings.]

Well, many do. But it wouldn't be considered terribly unusual not to.
