I know I don't have to. But I want to. Because if it were me, I'd feel horrible. I felt bad enough with Dom accusing me, and that wasn't taken seriously at all. If someone seriously accused me of killing someone and I had nothing to say in my defense, because I had no way of knowing, it'd be torture. And I don't want you to feel that, especially when it wasn't your fault.
[a pause, taking it in, turning it around in his head.]
That makes sense. I won't ask you for that again. I'm not afraid that you'd hurt me, but they're not my powers. They're yours. That's why I'm not asking just anyone. I wouldn't want to hurt someone either, even if they wanted me to.
I do want to see if I can do more push-ups than you, though. I think I can. Maybe.
[ he actually, impossibly, laughs at that, and it’s enough for him to skip over the truth no one has questioned since the votes (about the bad powers that go with the good, the darkness he supposedly wields.) ]
thanks koby i’m sure you’ll give me a run for my money especially when my shitty form is gonna give jake an aneurysm
[it's not that the thought hasn't occurred to koby -- it has, and has been promptly set aside and ignored, because as far as he's concerned, bob proved himself by wanting to give up, but not. and they're no longer in the midst of a game that could take those powers -- good or bad -- and use them against bob's will.
so instead: roasting jake seresin in his absence, a much better usage of time.]
I think that's good for him, every once in a while. Ani might call it "enrichment". I told him I didn't know what protein powder was and I thought he was going to have an emotional breakdown for a moment.
