That doesn't mean it's okay, Peter. I had a friend who was made of rock, and who could detach parts of himself or explode and still pull himself together. That doesn't mean it didn't matter when he was hurt.

[made_up_names]

... Still hurt. Yeah. I'm definitely mad at him.

[helpdesk_hero]

Then let me do something. Yeah, I know, it isn't honorable. I never said I was completely honorable.

[made_up_names]

All right, all right. But don't wreck his life, okay?

[helpdesk_hero]

I won't. I'll just make sure a message is received. Maybe in the form of lots of magazine subscriptions.

[A classic prank.]

[made_up_names]

That sounds super annoying. I love it.

[helpdesk_hero]

Cat Fancy sound good?

[made_up_names]

I have no idea what that is. But yes.

[helpdesk_hero]

It's a magazine little old cat ladies get

[made_up_names]

Then, yes, get him like ten of those.

[helpdesk_hero]

Ten seems a bit low. I'm thinking thirty.

[made_up_names]

You don't mess around.

[helpdesk_hero]

You're my friend and he pushed you into traffic.

[made_up_names]

Well. Okay. That's true.

I think I did scare the crap out of him though.

[helpdesk_hero]

He deserved to be scared. He could have killed you.

[made_up_names]

Not with a car. But he could have killed the people in the car.

[helpdesk_hero]

He didn't KNOW it wouldn't kill you!

[made_up_names]

[ Peter winces sharply at that. ]

I'm okay. I'm really okay.

[helpdesk_hero]

Intention matters, Seifer. The means by which someone does something matters.

[He doesn't want to grieve more people, even if they do come back.]

[made_up_names]

I know, I know. I'm sorry for worrying you.

[helpdesk_hero]

It's not about worrying me, Peter. It's about being careful for your own sake.

[made_up_names]

I try to be careful. I was trying to be careful.

[helpdesk_hero]

Forgive me, but I find myself worrying over you.

[made_up_names]

I don't mind it. I'm just sorry you feel like you have to do it.

[helpdesk_hero]

I don't have to. It's just what friends do.
