I guess I am too. Actually I don't have to guess about that at all. [He slaps a hand over his mouth and makes a huffing sound.]

Fine, whatever. I like you and I'm glad you're my friend, are you happy Apollo or whoever? I don't want you for an enemy either. I think I've wanted you for a friend from the moment you offered.

[He glares at Jason but it lacks conviction and the pink in his cheeks gives him away anyway.]

This is embarrassing. Is friendship always this embarrassing?
