[He fucking laughs.]

Come now, you can't rely on Dahut forever.

[egodist]

I don't rely on him.

I have no interest in being friendly for the sake of lip service. People's bruised egos have nothing to do with me.

[satisficing]

[yea ok]

I think it's less that and more... just amiable conversation. Though I don't begrudge you for not caring about small talk. That's why Jayce was the face of Hextech. I'm bad with small talk, and I hate parties.

[Very funny that he will now experience yet ANOTHER party.]

[egodist]

I can exist around people. I don't like to.

Some company is fine in bursts, but I'm not some lonely person who needs to be trained into friendship like some other maladjusted wrecks around here.

[He tries very hard not to look unconvinced.]

I suppose this includes me as well?

[egodist]

[shrugs]

I don't know. You seem like you crave relationships with other people.

[probably as a result of being ostracized from society, if scien were to guess]

[He is quiet for a long moment, tying to think of how he wants to respond.]

I di... I didn't think I did. I was sad when I was young, that the other children avoided me, that I couldn't play with them because I couldn't go where they went, couldn't swim. But later... I didn't think about it.

Creating, getting into the Academy... it's the only thing that mattered. But I guess... after Jayce, after... here... it would be difficult to... go back to a life without others nearby.

[scien nods. that makes sense to him. he is validating the reason behind what viktor says

however,]

I do not feel the same.

[HELP]

[satisficing]

[🙄]

This doesn't surprise me in the least.

[egodist]

I mention it because the idea of trying to encourage me to have friendly relationships suggests I have an interest in other people.

[he thinks that is what makes him fundamentally different from viktor, or anyone else who tries to get scien to lighten up]

I don't. I already have all the relationships I could ask for.
