[ it didn't seem even remotely likely, so he snorts when david affirms that, no, there wasn't a first in that regard, at least not what he was suspecting.

the sarcastic tip of a glass almost makes him smirk again, but for the moment, he doesn't touch his own refilled cup. ]

That a big thing for you?

[ it's a joke, mostly. as he told david before, when they didn't kill each other, david wasn't even remotely the first survivor he's had - although even he has enough discretion to not drop names. it's not usually something anyone talks about, and for him it's not a huge deal.

maybe it should be, since it means they don't see him as just the dangerous, terrifying monster they used to see him as. but david apparently never thought that way in the first place. ]

Was curious if that was actually the whole reason you came out there, or if you just changed your mind after I smacked you around.
