[He drags in a breath.]
I had to. Nobody's ever come back.
Jesse.
Alec's still here, but he stopped being my warden.
Fine, I guess. We don't really talk much anymore.
Well, that sucks. You talk much when he was your warden?
Yes, we did. He was - he was good.
He seems like a pretty organized guy. Calm.
He is. He was. I...wasn't always, back then.
Yeah? You mean like trashing your room when you got angry?
Trashing my room, trashing other rooms, killing people sometimes.
[/shrug]
Right. You told me about that when I first got here.
He was good about it. He wouldn't send me to Zero, he just wanted to talk.
Anyone ever give him shit for that, you think? [He doesn't think he'd ever send Credence to Zero-- what good would it do? But he wonders what the other wardens used to think.]
I don't know. If they did, he never told me.
Good. That's-- good.
You ever wish he talked to you more, still?
I don't know. He's so busy all the time.
Yeah, well, he's got a responsibility to you, too. As a friend.
...I don't know if we were friends. He was my warden.
[Jesse was his friend. Rey was his friend. Alec, he's....still not altogether sure.]
Yeah? [He scratches his jaw, lightly, thinking about that.]
Well, what the hell do I know, right? Everyone's different. Think you'd say we were friends, C?
I...I don't really know what makes somebody a friend.
[He doesn't have many casual friends. Most of his relationships are either very intense or basically acquaintances.]
...Huh. You know what, I wanna be able to say what does, but I don't think I know, either.
I dunno. I think we are, I told you stuff I don't tell most people. I like hanging out with you. But maybe it ain't the same on your end.
Is that what it takes? Talking and hanging out?
[friendship is magic inexplicable.]
[He shrugs.]
If you like hanging out, still, sure. That's pretty much all I did with my friends in school.
...I like it. And I never went to school.
