So, back in Hong Kong, I've got this guy that I work with, right? Hermann. He's a total pain in the ass. He's a massive stick in the mud, always trying to police me on how I run my lab, what kind of music I play, all that... We fight, like, constantly. Over nothing a lot of the time. We're very different people, and that's putting it lightly. He, uh, reminds me of Austria a little. [He shrugs. Please see where he's going with this.]
But, even though we're at each other's throats all the time, and he annoys the crap out of me, I think we understand each other better than anyone else does. I've been fighting with him for a long time, too, but we've been forced to work together... or, at least in proximity of one another, for going on five years now.
[He licks his lips, getting quiet for a moment as he digs around in the sand with his seashell.] Point is, if he was stuck here with me, I think I'd still care about what happens to him even if he's a jerk that's always ragging on me.
