[The curiousness in TJ's voice melted immediately into a smile.]

Why do you sound so wigged out by that? That's what you were, weren't you?

I wath thome athole who tagged along and yelled at them when they were all being dumb- I'm jutht- I don't feel like a hero.

Eth wath a hero, and altho a moron, I'm not thurprised at that, and Dolo wath a badath and Dii ith at perfect highblood-bulge-punching height... I get them.

Jutht... hard to thee why I'm counted.

Aight, well... I ain't Alternian, but I heard this story a few times now.

[Even if Psii couldn't see him, TJ adjusted himself on the couch, counting off on his fingers one by one.]

You were a slave, got yourself freed, endured all sorts of crap but joined up with a revolution anyway, you weren't scared into keepin' up the status quo...

Karmin n' your other friends, they did amazin' things, don't get me wrong. But correct me if I'm wrong... they challenged a lot of shit, but did any of 'em ever break out of the institutions they were fightin' against? Like really break out of 'em?

If I were a slave gettin' the piss takin' out of me on the daily, I think I know who'd inspire me most. But that's just me.

...Thay thit like that and people will thtart to think I'm a bigger badath than I really am...

[But he's not exactly arguing. If anything, he sounds a little abashed.]
