[There is faint confusion on the other end of the conversation. Typically, Devin would consider himself being the one to put up with, not the other way around.]

You're definitely unyielding.

[He's been finding it hard to do anything other than put up with everyone who insisted on spending time with him. That is the problem with what he is: even if he wants to leave, this is the safest place, the largest city, the biggest population he can reach that's already equipped to address his 'dietary needs'. It is safest for everyone else that he stays.

But Devin chose to live alone in no small part because he would rather be around people, and he knows he must not allow himself that luxury. Here-- here he has fewer degrees of freedom, and keeps breaking his own rules. It would be delusional to say he's only done so because the Dreaming gave him no other options.]

And you're less annoying than a lot of people.
