[ both from the vagueness and because this is exactly like adolphe ]
But I think we're already doing better. Adolphe didn't talk to me for the first few months we knew each other. So if you're at least conversating, then I think we're off on a good foot!

[ A wry smile. A man can be stubborn and incorrigible. ]
I'll accompany you, if that's what you want.
no subject
If my company is okay, then that'd make me happy.
Seems like a tough time for anybody to be left to themselves, but you seem to do okay with solitude...
no subject
[ He isn't in too much of a bad mood. They can head to the bar. ]
I'm more likely to do better than you of all people. Your friend is lost.
no subject
That's true.
... did you and Adolphe ever see eye to eye on anything, by the end?
no subject
... Why are you curious?

And he's the one that said we don't see eye to eye?

[ mimes a zipping motion across his mouth ]
How would you describe your relationship?
no subject
I think we are entirely different people.
no subject
but as he's pouring his drink: ] Can I ask how?
no subject
That's a puzzle for you to figure out. It should be easy since he's your best friend. [ Hmm. ] He reminded me more of someone I knew.
no subject
[ thoughtfully ]
Can I ask who he reminded you of?
no subject
[ Skill issue, but he isn't telling Yves to do one thing or another. He may do whatever he wants. ]
A girl I knew. She was dark, gloomy, and ornery. Always so serious... The kind of people you want to poke a bit to get them out of their shell.
no subject
but now yves is curious - ]
And how would you describe yourself?
no subject
... Just a man.
no subject
No other adjectives...?
no subject
None worth using, no.

[ isn't that just the same people. ]
We just also have a lot of similarities. [ ... ] I suppose we found common ground, not that he would admit it.
no subject
[ curious though, he wishes he'd asked ]
But... thanks for telling me. I'm glad you did.
no subject
[ Dryly. He will be. He doesn't like being the topic of conversation. ]
... What did you get out of this, in the end? Does it put you at ease?
no subject
[ even if adolphe and jacopo might've not wanted more time together ]
But... I understood another little piece about the both of you. So I'm happy about that.
