Yeah. That's how I try to - go about it. Just approach people with respect until you learn enough to figure out where you stand. [Worked with Silvally. There's something insufficient about it here and now, though.] It's...not Leonardo's MO - that's why we don't get along. I didn't know he had buttons to push until you ticked him off. [Vulnerabilities, sure, but things he wants to cover up aren't quite the same as a button.]
But - [scoff.] - if I didn't know better, I could blame it on people not having real problems. I'm not sensitive, I just - I just have it worse than you. [Voice low, exposed. This is a pretty deep dig into his own self-awareness, and it doesn't mortify him nearly as viscerally as other things but it is still embarrassing to say out loud.] But that's not how it works. Especially not here. [So what's his real excuse?]
