Everyone keeps thinkin' they're gonna get that without putting in the time or effort to like, woo me for it. Fuck off. Anyway, it's not really the backstory. Just always kinda been like that, and I'm chill with never self-examining or improving my personality.
[Fine? Letting himself fall bodily back into another one of the chairs, crossing one leg over the other and sprawling lazily, tapping a nail on the glass.]
Kind of a bunch of nutjobs aren't they? Willing to throw a, uh, girl into the grinder like that the second she cried.
Ooh, you came to the wrong guy if you want me to feel bad for her.
[But that's not quite what Taako means.]
People are survivors. When they see an easy way out, they take it. And it's way easier to turn on a crying girl when you're angry and scared than it is to be logical and try the most effective method.
Trust me, I know about survival. I'd forsake any of you bitches for a chance to get out of here and actually help the donguses I care about in a hot friggin' second, but it doesn't mean I have to be an asshole about it.

I said I didn't have to be an asshole, not that I'm actually able to pull it off.
