Hm. Flattery will get you nowhere, Court. I do not think we are done talking about you but we can take a break for now. Next: your childhood.
I should rest more than I do. But you could say the same about anyone in the Quad. I like the way you wrapped it, though. The bandage stays in place while I work, and it maintains a nice pressure on the scabs. Oh yes, they've scabbed over now.
I'm allowed to make observations as I see fit. such as: why are you doing this when you don't owe me anything? that's a question, but same thing
you should, but I agree with your statement we're all overworked and overly tired. let me know if it gets dirty or wet and I can re-wrap it for you again. [...] well, when there's the chance.
I enjoy talking to you. I enjoy learning about you. [...] To be frank, Court, I think I do owe you, for permitting me to be your friend. This is a privilege I do not take lightly. [...] But I understand these are not very fun things for me to say.
Maggie can also re-wrap it for now. Although she will not be pleased.
I enjoy talking to you too, John. it's nice to have conversations that don't just revolve around zeds or the crisis of the week. [...] and you keep pointing out how not very fun you view yourself, maybe that's something to be looked into there in the vein of uncovering insecurities.
that she has to doctor to people? is that not her job as far as Lundegaard goes?
She doesn't like to be around other people, so it would not be nice for her to stay at the bed and breakfast while we rebuild her house. We also want to keep it available for guests. Maggie had intended on camping out on the grounds, but the ground was very muddy after the storm, and it would have been cold and uncomfortable to camp long-term. Needless, too, especially when we have so many houses. And I can stay with my sister who I would like to be closer to . Why wouldn't I offer Maggie my house?
I have no plans to trick or manipulate. I honestly don't have the energy for it, but can understand your hesitance still, as it's hard to ignore past experiences.
This is not to say I expect other people to do things for me, so I am kind to them. There are just different sets of rules that I have observed. […] And I like making people happy. If I can. It’s surprisingly difficult, especially nowadays.
Rules for you and I? I'm not sure. I would think friends should be honest with each other. Try to help each other when they can. Make time for each other? How does this sound to you?
I will always try. It's a nice way to learn about someone, figuring out what makes them happy. Better than learning about them through upsetting them.
you said there were different sorts of rules, so simply wondered what applies here in your eyes. which is to say I can agree to these terms & conditions.
Oh. Yes. […] Maybe we can talk about these things another time. About rules I have observed and what makes me happy. […] It’s nothing bad to do with you. And in the interest of being honest, I am avoiding answering right now because I think we have had a good conversation so far. I would like to preserve things this way.
in the interest of being honest, I need to go take a walk after indeed talking about all of this, so can agree to pick this up later. thanks again, John.

She will not be pleased to have to doctor me. I suspect she takes great pride in providing medical aid to our community.

perhaps it's none of my business, but it seems like she's nothing but a thorn in your side and yet you still have given up house for her. why?

not many people would go out of their way, to that degree, for others, especially not at the sake of putting themselves out. it says a lot about you.

people need more happiness in general, so I hope you don't give up the pursuit any time soon
