Yeah, I know, but you don't have to kick these. That's the point.
[He's practically giddy at the thought that maybe, maybe Two-Face or Harvey will get it, because right now he's pretty sure he's the only person alive (or dead) who does.]
[ Harvey watches; nobody should forget by his nature, he's as much a psychological predator was a physical one. He was a lawyer, once. And a damned good one. ]
[He's aware he's exposing a flank here, but he's not about to lie about it. There will be times enough in the future when his deafness interferes in their conversations; no reason to make it worse than it already will be when Harvey thinks he's ignoring him on purpose.]
I didn't feel anything. And I don't really define power as what other people can affect.
I was a dumb kid. I thought he was a harbinger of the end--that was still when I thought I could save people from themselves. I realized the truth after he was already dead. [He's very nonchalant about it, and honestly so, with no bravado in the slightest.]
The other guy was incidental. He was all hopped up and I knew he wouldn't stop coming at my brother, but I don't think I really meant to kill him. Just one of those things.
Yeah but it's like an anvil. Sometimes you get the same end, using a wrench, you know? Gets you fewer detours. At least here, where they're just going to come back to life anyway.

How d'you define 'ethics'?

Date: 2013-07-19 06:54 am (UTC)I believe in personal ethics though. Back home they tell me I'm a criminal...but everyone's got their personal code.

Date: 2013-07-19 07:59 pm (UTC)Not uncommon, I guess. People trip over each other, get in each other's way. but that's not how you see it now is it?
[The way he describes that first time is so...goal oriented.]
