[That gets him to laugh; the idea of Schwann having any friends is a bit far-fetched, though admittedly everything he knows about Schwann is second or third-hand at best.

Raven has a point though, as agitating as it is to acknowledge it. Hell, Regaey likely had more friends than Yeager, and he was just a means to an end. Maybe Raven's right, maybe the reason why he's been so adamant about keeping everyone at arm's length is because he's afraid.]

I'm starting to wonder if you're putting more thought into my actions than I ever have...

[It's light, but there's certainly some truth behind it. Yeager's been acting without thinking for ten damn years and he's not really sure he wants to analyze everything and see what he determines about it all.]

I really have enjoyed our time together. And...

[I really will miss you.]

I suppose I can try again. Maybe I have been missing out by being so difficult, hmm?
