[Loog's eyes squint happily at the rubbing under the chin. Excellent choice.]
Still, you shouldn't have to deal with someone like that who can't even see you for who you are.
I know you said you don't feel threatened, but let me know if you need anything, okay? I'm sure you can take care of yourself, but... I don't know, I don't like the idea of someone feeling like they don't have someone else to rely on. It's a rotten feeling.
Well... there's not seeing eye to eye with someone, and having someone threaten you. So my offer still stands- if they become a problem for you, I'll do my best to help.
That's really sweet of you, Connor. Thanks. I think I'll be okay, but if I need help, I'll tell you.
[Oh, this is a tough thing to answer. Ashe decides to drag Loog into his lap for this.]
It's kind of hard to pinpoint exactly. Mostly, I think we just can't meet in the middle. We have different ideas about trust and what it means to be friends. I don't know how else to explain it, but we just don't get along. We fight all the time, it seems like. He hurts my feelings, but he's also scared of people. I want to be open-minded, but he's kind of made it tough.
It's sad, but that's how it is, I guess. It's not really the same as your problem at all, but uh... I appreciate you asking.

I'll be sure to let you know. Thanks. The same goes for you too, you know.
[Even if they don't know each other well yet... well, Connor tends to like people pretty quickly after meeting them so long as they're nice to him.]
Though I assume nobody here troubles you?
no subject
But I've kind of accepted it's a lost cause at this point. You can't be friends with everyone. I've had to learn that the hard way.
no subject
[Though he is curious-]
What is it you disagree on?

[Which is fine. Though Connor tries very hard to get along with all kinds of people, sometimes it really just doesn't work.]
You shouldn't feel too badly about it. It doesn't sound like it's your fault- at least you tried.
no subject
[He chuckles.] Thank you. And I appreciate you listening to me. I know I kind of rambled.
no subject
[He smiles, reassuring.]
What matters to me is that I think you seem nice. So I would be happy to talk to you more often.
no subject
Oh, right! Before I forget, you should come meet my horse, Kyphon. We'll get him some carrots to eat.
no subject
[Ah, but of course, he has to meet Kyphon. Connor gets up, excited.]
I can tell you whatever you'd like to know while we feed Kyphon, then.
