[ he looks kind of touched at this... what a loser. ]

It's your call. But I think they should be the ones trying to get to know you better. Uncle always says that you should try to learn as much as you can about other people. It took me a while to feel like I could understand you... I still don't know a lot about you, to be honest... but I think that despite all your jokes, you're a good man with a lot of passion. Just... tired.

Thank you.

[ he does look kind of embarrassed... ]

[ a beat. ]

Sometimes you get on my nerves, but I like you. I think of you as my friend. And I think I can learn from you. Not just... Realm stuff. But life stuff? I don't know.

... Yeah, that's what I mean. [ the fox wisdom.... ]

I know I make a lot of mistakes, and I know sometimes I get really stuck on the mistakes I do make... but I'm trying just to learn from them. And I think.... one of the mistakes we as a group made in the past, is not really trying to listen to or understand you Leaders.

[retellers]

Well, who can say? We probably made a lot of mistakes ourselves, in the past.
