This ship has already started to wring concessions out of me, that I wouldn't grant otherwise. Up until this point in my life any relationship I've had that could be termed "friendship" is really more of an alliance - like with you. If there's feeling there, it's carefully calculated for it's worth.

Regrettably I'm starting to find that on this ship, that may no longer be the case.

[He has friends now, Scorpius. Real friends that he cares about the well-being of for nothing but it's own sake. The horror!]
