Former frat boy?

Next question. Were you hoping to get actual offers with this?

Veronica says those words and they bothers him, twisting like a knife that digs at into the tissue above his ribcage. That hits a sore spot, people thinking that what they see is all that there is, and that there is nothing more beneath the surface.
Deep down, he sometimes worries that it's the truth.]
No, you don't
I'm not just some douchey guy
[He could be glaring daggers at her and it would seem inane, what with the curve of his jaw still being so soft.]
Listen, weird text or not
I'm just trying to help
no subject
Up until this point.
If you want to help, drop the comedy routine instead of advertising yourself as a frat boy for hire. We're here to do work.
no subject
[He would be less bitter, had she not hit him where it hurts most.]
You talk slick, how's your combat game?
Ready to pick up a shiv and fight some fuckers off when the goin' gets tough? I know we got some bruisers around here but you aren't always gonna have a babysitter.

Confident and foolish.]
Listen, you can yap at me for not bein' "professional" enough or usin' one too many emojis, but at least I survived round one of this bitch.
[With the implication that not everyone did.]
I'd be careful makin' assumptions about people if I were you.
[Unfortunately, his tone is lost over text, and so the last sentence makes little sense in context. If delivered in person, the words would be softer, gentle even.]
It's not always safe.
no subject
[That's her partly being a feminist, and partly just being picky.]
I know it's dangerous. I don't need someone mansplaining to me about precisely how dangerous it is.
no subject
Well, I guess
[That is an old way of thinking, his old way.
They are not forced captives in this iteration of the journey.]
It's probably not as bad as it used to be, since
[Everyone is here by choice.]
Everyone's kinda here willingly, and they've all got stuff that they want, so...
Maybe things'll turn out better this time.
no subject
But your trauma isn't my trauma.
It's nice, I guess, that you're concerned. But you really don't need to be.
no subject
He has spent his life overshadowed by this kind of person, talented, smart-mouthed, ambitious... Always with something to prove.
Always with something missing.]
Okayyy
[He does not bother to tell her that he is worried about everyone, that worry seems to be his default state when he is not gyrating unnecessarily or making off-the-cuff remarks. She is a stranger, and in his experience, many strangers on this team do not react well to sentiment.]
Defensive much? pfft
Either way, if you're fine, you're fine ig
[But if you need any help, I'm-
She's talkative, intelligent.
There are probably other people looking out for her.
And so Asher hesitates.]
no subject
Veronica knows it's going to be hard. She doesn't need someone to tell her when she's already admitting it (and has admitted it in the past). Having it repeated to her feels like nothing short of condescended to (and a Lodge can easily feel that way—)]
I'm fine. I'm not lying. I set myself up right here.
[Though she's glad now that she did.]
no subject
Yeah, you really did.
[Asher knows what it is like to push your way into things and speak loudly over others in an attempt to be heard, but most importantly, seen, acknowledged. He recognizes it in others right away, though in Veronica's case, it's clear that she may actually have something to show for.]
S'ok tho, cuz
When you happen to not be feelin' "fine" or whatever it is you're feelin' right now...
[Being gentle has not yielded him everything. In fact, it's cost him more than acting a fool or going along with all of the other disgusting charades that come with class and masculinity, but it has always felt most natural.]
We'll be here for ya.
[Meaning the team, if he can really call it that.]
We've got a good group, I think.
no subject
Next time you want to pitch that we're a good team and a family waiting to happen, make sure you don't start off trying to scare the person in question. It sets a really, really uncomfortable precedent.
Oh, and I know how to make friends. Again, I have social graces. A lot of them.
no subject
This is par the course for things. Playing the bully is his quickest reflex, instinctive almost, but Asher almost always softens in the end.]
If by social, you mean "got a big mouth," then sure.
Anyways, I'm outtie 5000, 'cause I've got a couple of commitments to keep.
[And by that, he means that several of the conversations on this post have reminded him that there are people he has to check up on, despite shit not hitting the fan quite yet.]
See ya around, I guess.
