<Snipped quote by Extra>
Perhaps it is simply the fate of some individuals to do so.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*Grumbles and uppercuts you with my mac, then quickly slams it back down on your torso when you hit the peak height, rocketing you toward the ground*

<Snipped quote by Host>

Maybe.

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

Define "care about her as a person."

<Snipped quote by Host>

-Soren- Hmm... *muttering to himself* Any ideas? *pauses* Oh, that's perfect. *normal* Does he attach importance to her? *quickly* And not in a tactical way. Does he attach importance to her emotions? To her happiness? To her well-being, emotional, mental, and physical?

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Any person who observes them can see that much.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

I suppose I will simply go, then.

<Snipped quote by Host>

-Soren- That's not an answer. What you see is not always what you get.

<Snipped quote by Host>

*nods*
You have a nice day.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

*Chuckles and examines the blade of my knife*
You're asking the wrong questions. But to answer that specifically, yes.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

You do so as well.

<Snipped quote by Host>

-Soren- *opens his mouth, and then closes it, thinking* Why does he attach importance to those things? Is it only for some benefit of his own--as in, she is useful to him--or does he care in order that he might benefit her without necessarily benefiting himself?

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Does anybody truly do anything unselfishly? Even if the answer to that is yes, Serenity is very advantageous to Luke, so I cannot fairly answer the second question, since her simply being alive is advantageous to him.

<Snipped quote by Host>

-Soren- Oh! I have a better question, then: is the core of Luke's relationship with Serenity benefit for her before benefit for himself?

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

It isn't linear.

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

*Shoots a laser into your stomach*

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*Blocks it with my mace an aims my LMG at you with one hand*

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*Blocks it with my mace an aims my LMG at you with one hand*

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

*Shoots a laser into your stomach*

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

*a huge ball of red energy bullets towards you*

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

*It hits me in the face, chipping my mask*

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

...Hm...

<Snipped quote by Host>

-Soren- Is the benefit for himself more important to him than the benefit for Serenity in their relationship?
