[WHICH ONE.]

[romeowned]

[yes]

I'll watch out for myself, Julian.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

You'd better. I've got enough to do without rescuing you all from bad choices.

[romeowned]

Nobody's asking you to do any rescuing.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, because you lot make great choices on your own.

[romeowned]

They're our choices to make, though.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

And when they go wrong at least now we know who to find first.

[romeowned]

Are you even listening to yourself?

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

I think it's funny that you, of all people, think that they're going to be anything other than absolutely useless at best.

[romeowned]

Pardon.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

Still think your brother should have pitched him through a wall.

[romeowned]

You leave my family out of this.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

I'm saying, we don't get helpful adults. Ever.

[romeowned]

That's-- then fine, we don't get helpful adults now. They're still just strangers, not enemies.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

If they were enemies, I'd treat them a lot differently.

[romeowned]

[pointedly looking at the board]

Really.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

I don't even remember being this naive.

[romeowned]

I'm not being naive. You're acting too paranoid about this whole thing.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

I'm not paranoid.

[romeowned]

Could've fooled me.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

You have no idea how bad it gets so shut up.

[romeowned]

Or what? Getting angry with me isn't going to do any good, either. This is being too paranoid, Julian. Putting up their names and pictures "just in case"? That's going overboard.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

It's not! I've been here almost fifteen months, most of them on my own, and you're saying I don't know what this place is like? You just arrived!

[romeowned]

That's not what I'm saying.

[needsahandjob.livejournal.com]

It's what you're implying.
