"I don't think you are capable of keeping leery and distant. You trust very easily and without much ******** judgement." He didn't want Al to think he was intentionally insulting him however so added. "Caring too much isn't a bad thing, but you have to know how to curb it. It might be safer to keep far away from people who offer you s**t simply because on balance, they are probably trying to ******** you over." he shrugged. "But if and only if you feel totally confident you can keep your distance and take the cheese out of the mousetrap without getting caught, then go for it. But at your own risk, I don't want to hear you getting caught up in s**t you shouldn't because you fell for it."

Al listened in silence. The answer was disappointing but at the same time he still flashed a smile at Rep. "Thanks man," he didn't feel very thankful. But he knew when this all started that he would be giving up a lot and doing a lot of things he didn't want to. Gifts from strangers would just have to be one more to the pile. The smile ebbed and looked a bit more concerned than happy, "I swear to ******** though man, I'm normally not one for threats but I swear to ******** if you get another close call like that, I'll just. I don't know yet. But I will! So don't."

"I won't. I can't afford any more ******** close calls." Rep said. "I don't have ROOM for more close calls on my body." he shrugged but couldn't help but grin. "But I'm glad you will - whatever it is you'll do if it happens again. It means a lot to me to matter to anyone for any reason at all."
He shrugged. "But aye, I've mostly just been mending up and dealing with s**t, I've no been on any awful missions or anything. So there's no a lot interesting to tell other than that, other than that I was a ******** reindeer for a while at Christmas. I've been a ******** invalid shut-in."

Al's eyebrows raised in shock. "You say that like people don't?!" his tone was incredulous. Was Rep serious or was this just some sort of weird test? Al didn't understand it either way. People depended on him. The very ******** first rule of being a minion even might as well read that way. He was about ready to talk - no - shout reason into him when it occurred that might not have been his place or even the time for it. Maybe the distractions brought up were... well, what were really needed?
"I was a reindeer too," Al answered enthusiastically. "But my horns were s**t. They were just ridiculous useless nubs."

"You'd be surprised. A lot of people are morons and will sooner toddle off after something with tits than any kind of manliness these days. My group of dedicated friends gets smaller and smaller all the time." he gave Al a smirk. "I wasn't sure if that's where you were wandering off to when you didn't come to visit for a while. In the end everyone follows their libidos. I'm ******** glad I was wrong."
He seemed to lighten up a bit, donning his mark of confidence once again lest Al lose faith in him while he was so dispirited. "Hah. Doesn't surprise me you'd have wee horns, you are only a young guy. I was in a ******** wheelchair, having a big rack didn't really help me out there."

"Of course you'd have a big rack man. Manliest buck in the forest I bet. Best ******** trophy too, not that any hunters would have gotten close enough t'try." He tried not to think about the libido remark. Did that mean Rep expected him to never get uh... attentions of his own? Even if he was still priority? That was worrying indeed and... somewhat depressing for himself ultimately. Still, the whole thing presented a new question. "Was I not visiting enough sir?" His head titled to the side questioningly.

Rep grinned. "Aye I was pretty ******** impressive despite the wheelchair thing. My hide was a bit s**t from a trophy perspective, too many scars all over, but aye, the horns made up for it." It was rather strange sizing himself up as a trophy buck, but now that he thought of it it was rather heartening.
"And I dunno man, you visited me in the pods that was good. But outside of that I just worry what you get yourself into when there's gaps in you visiting. I worry you might get hurt on this island."

Al seemed to relax a bit at the explanation. He was worried about me. He offered a sincere little smile and a look on his face that tried to convey that everything would be alright. It would, okay, he wasn't going to die any time soon, either. At least not in any permanent way.
"I try to stay out of trouble as best I can, but you know... this place. I'll try to not worry you so much though okay. I hadn't really thought of it like that."

"Aye, I know. It's hard to stay out of trouble. You just need to always have your wits about you, people will mistake the good in you for stupidity and will try and take advantage of it ******** always. I just want to see you thrive, you've done well this far, don't break the habit." He felt like an old battle scarred animal in some children's movie giving advice to the cute wolf or lion cub protagonist. It was a bizarre feeling, he wasn't sure he liked it.
"Just be ******** careful, I don't have many sane people left on my side any more, this island gets to everyone in the end."
