[Absolutely not patronizing. He nods in thanks, happy to not run his little jig of self-sufficiency all the time. He's much better at the single-handed life now, far less clumsy and regaining deftness. But it's still awkward at times. He hates having to use his teeth for shit, or clutching things between his knees or under his elbow to hold them still. Lighting smokes isn't all that complicated but even so.]

[ a little sadness sneaking into the otherwise tired vibes there, because he actually was pretty fond of majima. ]
[The way I'm sure dana midtrialed that early was so that maybe she'd get voted for...tch]
Guess you were. [Oof, though. Richie grimaces.] He was a fun guy. Didn't talk to him all too much but I appreciate when someone can shoot the shit. Mean right hook too.
