(Chris was great at giving advice he didn't follow. And was still working on that small thing called self awareness. What he was self aware of? Was his giant inferiority complex. Which, as far as he was concerned, was pretty justified. And naturally, his new friend had picked up on it. Which, made Chris realize two things. 1. He was right, she was a pitbull, and 2. she was also kind of scary. Then again, so was his mother, so he took that red flag, and noted it, and then, moved on.]

Wow, you don't fuck around do you? Look, no one's strung me up yet, so I figure I'm fine. I can take care of myself too.

(Chris looked at the woman, trying to figure her out. She was....interesting for sure. Did it sting that Crane had said something similar? Well, yeah. )
