Ugh, come on. I know I just told you you don't owe me shit, but I don't have to like being condescended to when I'm just relaying what he said himself. Amazingly enough, I do have more than one friend here! I know, I'm in shock myself.

[He can't even snipe at her without attacking himself a little, but it is also true. He has friends, a decent chunk of them even, and that's still pretty incredible to him. When's he ever been afforded that before in his life?]

He decided to follow me because you weren't here, and because Medea told him I was trustworthy. And he was pretty clear that any Master and Servant aspect to that was over once you got here. It's got nothing to do with being friends with each other.
