Hey, don't look at me like that. What goes around comes around, this dude's torturing, like, a hundred people right now.

( Is he a little defensive? Yes — only because he remembers that version of himself and what a total irredeemable dick he was. He wants to believe he's not like that guy.

Yeah, maybe he's just as cold at times, but he would never sacrifice family or friends for any mission, period. Hands down.

...Torture's still on the table for him, though. )

Anyway, I won't lay a friggin' finger on him if he does what I tell him to do, line or no line.
