Goin’ soft?

[Excuse you! Maybe it’s true but it’s nothing he wants to hear spoken aloud like that!!!]

Say that again and I’ll turn into a rock just to spite you. I ain’t goin’ soft, V, just ‘cause I’m not trying not to let the world revolve around me as much as before.

Or you already forget about the bar fight we got ourselves into already? Nearly knocked that guy’s teeth out — funny as hell.

[ Get used to it Johnny! ]

No, you won't. 'cause if you think I wouldn't hold your hand too...

[ Dragging his hands back out of his pockets he spreads them, like he's saying 'I don't make the rules'. ]

'sides, didn't say you're a pushover. Why's it such a bad thing if you got people you're soft with anyway?

[ Aside from Night City being the way it is, and how hard it makes people, V never asked that. Not that he remembers, anyway. ]

Uh-huh. ‘Cause, V—

[He pushes himself up to his feet, kitchen chair squeaking as it slides across the floor. Time to make his exit, not because he’s taken any real offense, but because it’s about as far as he’s going to humor the convo for now. He doesn’t have the ability to just blip out of existence anymore.]

—some people can’t tell the difference, and I’d hate to give ‘em the wrong impression. Better off thinkin’ I’m a selfish jackass, leave it at that. Easy for me to act like it; like slipping on an old coat.

[He huffs smoke, heads out towards the kitchen’s exit. Raises a chrome hand in a little wave.]

Like now. Talk to ya when I feel like it. Gonna find a mask for that ugly mug of yours.

[ Johnny having to use a door's still a novelty, but V'd watch him even if it wasn't. There's a barely there roll of his eyes, a subtle shake of his head. He'd call Johnny out on walking away from the conversation, but no part of him thinks that'd be helpful. ]

Yeah. You do that.

[ And he'll... do something else. ]
