(That actually makes the smirk drop from his face. He doesn't look upset though. Just serious.)
It could, but it doesn't. I use it to be more strategic on the battlefield.
(His tone is unwavering. It's true enough that he edged on suicidal, that he was filled with self-loathing, but it's also true that he didn't see his immortality as a true negative. Colder really was accurate. He was practical about the fact of his own immortality. He used it like he would a weapon and deposited his body, his soul like it was another robot going through the hurdles of a fight.
It was dispensable.)
I don't have a mother or a father. All of my arrogance comes from me, myself, and I.
(Right on the money with that one.)
You get used to it when it happens enough.
(You didn't, really, but Dirk had forced himself to get over it. He didn't plan to die anytime soon at least.
He watches Savage watch Ruin. It's a nice look on the guy and Dirk wonders if he's ever looked at anything like that before. He wondered what it would feel like if anyone looked at him like that.)
Your brother seems cool. He was invested in hooking us up. (Dirk smirks again, amused by the whole thing.) I'll have to send him a Thank You note. Maybe a complimentary fruit basket.
(Not that these guys seemed the fruit-eating type, but it's the joke that counts sometimes.)

That's fine. I don't mind biters.
