[That gets a twitch of a smile beneath the moustache.]
An' if there were more folks like you that recognised that wisdom, we wouldn't have a problem in the first place. [The smile fades with a light sigh.] But fer right now, we've got what we've got. An' I ain't askin' you to come squealin' t'me about what the pair a' y'all might talk about in private - but as his warden, if y'all catch wind a' him hurtin' someone, or you reckon somethin' smells awful fishy about someone you think Armand don't like gettin' fucked over here... well, I'd appreciate the heads up. That's all.
[Why is he being talked to like a competent adult and why is it oddly nice......]
The two times I'm aware of I only found out after the fact, and one was through your announcing it over the Network. So I doubt that's gonna be a thing. [Okay, so the second time Armand came to Gojyo, but it was still only after it'd happened...]
But sure. You're not gonna go to him all 'you better not do anything to Ellie', right?
[Sam sounds like he has enough sense not do to anything like that, but...]
Well, I didn't when I was your age. I was a stone-cold outlaw, me an' my brother, an' back then I wouldn't a' had it any other way. Took me two hundred years t'get as relaxed as I am now!

[He leans and nudges Gojyo with his elbow.]
But us rough an' tumble guys gotta stick together, right? Just 'cos we know how t'finish a fight, don't mean we gotta go startin' 'em.
Re: Evening of pairings
Speak for yourself: I've started plenty of fights since I got here. [Model warden, ladies and gentlemen.]
Re: Evening of pairings
Well I reckon it just ain't fair if I'm the one startin' things! Ain't many folks as can outpace a vampire with a six-shooter, 'specially any inmates.

[Half-youkai, admittedly, but that still gives him a significant advantage over a baseline human.]
But good on you for having self-control or whatever.

Re: Evening of pairings
Think this is the first time I've had my shit together earlier than someone. [...Well. Mostly together. More together than five years ago.]
