Perhaps it is simply the fate of some individuals to do so.

@Host

Maybe.

*Grumbles and uppercuts you with my mac, then quickly slams it back down on your torso when you hit the peak height, rocketing you toward the ground*

@Intrepid

*Shoots a laser into your stomach*

<Snipped quote by Host>

Maybe.

@Extra

I suppose I will simply go, then.

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Define "care about her as a person."

@Host

-Soren- Hmm... *muttering to himself* Any ideas? *pauses* Oh, that's perfect. *normal* Does he attach importance to her? *quickly* And not in a tactical way. Does he attach importance to her emotions? To her happiness? To her well-being, emotional, mental, and physical?

Any person who observes them can see that much.

-Soren- That's not an answer. What you see is not always what you get.

You're asking the wrong questions. But to answer that specifically, yes.

You do so as well.

@Host

-Soren- *opens his mouth, and then closes it, thinking* Why does he attach importance to those things? Is it only for some benefit of his own--as in, she is useful to him--or does he care in order that he might benefit her without necessarily benefiting himself?

@whizzball1

Does anybody truly do anything unselfishly? Even if the answer to that is yes, Serenity is very advantageous to Luke, so I cannot fairly answer the second question, since her simply being alive is advantageous to him.

@Host

-Soren- Oh! I have a better question, then: is the core of Luke's relationship with Serenity benefit for her before benefit for himself?

@whizzball1

It isn't linear.

@Host

-Soren- Is the benefit for himself more important to him than the benefit for Serenity in their relationship?

@Techspert

*Blocks it with my mace an aims my LMG at you with one hand*

@Intrepid

*Throws my sword past you, then appears behind you and catches it, spins it around and stabs you in the side*
Your name is Grand, but you were always the runt of the pack. Take your final moments to consider the irony in that.
*Kicks you toward Aero*

@Techspert

Go ahead. He's yours.

@whizzball1

They're complimentary.
