[... alright. if this is really what nick wants, livio will oblige. unlike wolfwood, who sits forward, livio leans back, letting his head fall back onto the top of the chair. he isn't trying to be difficult, just close his eyes while he gathers his wits. and eventually, he looks back at nick.]

I think you're both being asses. I don't think you're being fair to each other. To Angelina. [to him. he won't say it, though, because if he had just been there in the first place, maybe he could have run damage control as it happened.]

I think Vash is so caught up in a future we don't know whether he can change that he isn't thinking about how anyone else feels. I think you should've known better than to send him away when he's so prone to spiraling.

I think he's going to assume that I want nothing to do with him so long as you two are fighting. That I only want to be with him out of - convenience. And yes, I think I have an obligation to be here for you.

It isn't the first time I've been in a precarious spot. It won't be the last. So, again, what does it matter?
