( Since we're all supposed to be real close and buddy buddy around here, anyone care to fill me in on your skills or training?

I'm not going to drill you and ask you to run laps, I promise. Not today at least.

... Unless you're with me, then you better be on the tenth lap and not a nap )

[You know who you are.]

( Some of them aren't taking your help because they don't require it. Others are stubborn and only feel that they are as good as what they can offer to others. And some are simply more caught up in bold statements proving that they are correct to offer anything of value. )

[She doesn't specify who she's referring to.]

[servitor]

[He can kind of figure who can go to who from the few responses, but he's not going to assume that's all there is to it.]

( Sounds like it's just a lot of talk for what amounts to the same thing. )

[adamance]

( Initially. Are you used to people taking your help without building a bond with them? )

[servitor]

( Mostly. When it gets bad out there and the only person next to you is the one you hate, there's not a lot of options. I don't care to be friends after, I just want to help and make sure everything's turning out the way it needs to and not the worst case scenario. )

[adamance]

( We aren't on a battlefield. And some people here haven't worked out how alliances work, or they believe that we're already allied. You seem to fall into the latter category.

I can say that you can feel free to keep trying with Bellamy. He's sentimental enough that he'll relent. Just don't be afraid of taking what help he offers in return. )

[Lexa thinks that it'll give Nyx a starting point, and Bellamy is ... Bellamy. He's all emotions, even if he definitely falls into the "feels like he has to be useful to others" category.]

[servitor]

( Right. Friends first. )

[Even if he... honestly doesn't care to make friends out of these people despite the cramped quarters. Maybe he'll eventually understand how it all works here.

So far he's just... not convinced of much.]

( Or whatever falls for friends and allies around here. )

[adamance]

( It's more a matter of trust than anything. It's easier to demand proof that you can be trusted when you're not in a life or death situation anymore. )

[As they were before they entered this scenario. If nothing else, the Station can lead to complacency among the Hosts.]

[servitor]

( Makes enough sense. )

[adamance]

( It's good that it does.

I wish you luck in all your future ... trust exercises. )

[Or ... however that might be put.]

[servitor]

[He laughs softly. As if he could ever wrangle anyone to fall into his arms.]

( Thanks. )
