[Murdoc is still fuzzy on the details as far as Dirk and Sybille's conversation goes. He knows it was bad and it hurts and he wants to lash out, but his issues lie with Sybille and he has every intention of taking them up with her.
That said, after all of the years he has and hasn't known her, he knows well enough that her words are far more venomous than the intentions behind them. He knows how she works and it would take a lot worse than that to make him feel truly crushed. He might be a bit of an emotional cripple, but he's not a wreck.]
I forgive you.
I don't understand why you're so determined to give it up and feel wounded before we've even had a chance to work on it. I hardly know you, Dirk. We met five months ago and it's only been the past few months that we've been able to tolerate each other, let alone.. Regardless. I like what I know now, and I want to know more. I can't do that if you pull away from me now.
I was friends with Sybille for seven years, that was ten years ago. Of course she has more of a leg to stand on as far as our respective relationships stand, but I don't want you to compare that. I want you to stop thinking about what might happen and start thinking about what is happening, because presently she doesn't love me and I don't know how long I can let other chances slip through my fingers while I let her decide.
Is that selfish? Am I being selfish? Is it wrong of me to want something I can't have and have something I can have? Because I could ask you the very same question in regards to someone else.
