[He'd noticed the belt loop. But he's a gentleman. He knew it was probably acting the part of "hooking up with secret boyfriend."]
[He smiles at "flitting" and the continued flirting.]
You're probably right about what I'd have been like if they finished the job. Walpert definitely tried her best to mold me into the perfect little soldier. But I had this trainer, Clark...until he passed away. And different people I was around in the squad that just...gave me another angle.
It wasn't all bad. It's nice having...direction, you know? Purpose. Knowing you're doing something good? But it's not worth it if you're hurting someone that doesn't deserve it.
[He gives him a crooked smile.]
So I don't regret it. The really weird life experience. I need to figure out how to get us out of this mess, but I'm glad I got us into it if it means there's at least a shot of getting you through this alive. What Walpert asked us to do was unforgivable.
And you've been really brave so far. And pretty chill about the clone thing, which I appreciate. A lot of people have... preconceptions.
