[ Don't say that!!!! Toi is supposed to nod and say "yeah" and rattle off ten people. Ayabe's not even sure if he can guess the dog, because Toi doesn't go crazy over the dog like literally everybody else here. ]
So do he and I. We haven't had a conversation yet where either of us weren't upset, I know he hates me in some ways, and we rarely get along, but we're... sort of... friends.
[ Both him and Jin Ling with their impossible standards for friends, but he thinks they reached that level at one point. And then plummeted again, as you do. But it goes up there again when it matters, so that's why Ayabe would consider them friends. ]
The point is, you don't have to get along with people all the time to be friends with them. It's impossible to like somebody all the time.
[ He has to repeat that... They're friends when it matters? Jin Ling is the friend who went up to him oocly this morning and slapped him in the face in lieu of a greeting, this is the sort of friendship they have. ]
