I don't get it either. It's something the young do, before they've gotten a grasp of what life's about. But otherwise she's got a good head on her shoulders which means this doesn't make much sense.
I'll give you that. But humans seem to make it an art form, take it to another level. It's interesting how easy it is to get a human to dig in their feet.
No more than any other species. I think selfishness is something that's key to survival too. Too little and you're dead, too much and you're also dead.
Everyone's biased. But I probably shouldn't expect you to understand duty and dedication when you betrayed your people. Forgot that for a minute there.
[Oh. Is that how this is? He should have expected it from the way he was being protective of Ino.
Rage bubbles under the surface and his fist clenches against the black glass. There are so many ways he wants to answer this. But he's aiming to make up for things here. Replying with they betrayed me first isn't going to help matters.]

She hasn't really mentioned still being interested in me, has she?

Pretty sure it's the sort of thing someone feels when they build up an image that isn't real.

I never understood it.

I never tried to lead her on.

Until the war I hadn't even seen her for over three years.

She and Sakura were always competing with each other.

Maybe she's just stubborn.
no subject
She's definitely that. Though I don't think I've ever met a human who wasn't.

All living things have some level of stubbornness.

When you lose that, you stop living.

That's because humans can also be very selfish creatures.

It does take some amount of selfishness just to live, you're right.
FROM: uchiha.sasuke@cdc.org
But your species is less stubborn?
no subject
Situationally.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
We're stubborn for duty's sake. It's more along the lines of dedication and determination, rather than stubborn for the sake of stubborn.

That sounds like a lot of bullshit.

Keep looking out for Ino's well-being.
[And he won't respond again after this. He doesn't trust himself not to get angry.]

I'll look out for her.
