Sure. Something like that. [It's curt, a very deliberate attempt to cut the topic off. He would prefer not to reminisce considering he keeps getting thrown into the ocean or stuck out in the rain.
As for Crow's question, Lutha only gives him a dry look in return.]
I have a feeling you're going to share regardless of how I answer.
If you didn't wanna talk at all, you really should've just told me to fuck off.
[ He rests his hands behind his head. ]
Buuuut anyway, my advice is pretty much this: Just keep smiling no matter how pissed you are. It throws the other guy off and you can gain an advantage off of that.
I had a little more on my mind than telling some stranger to leave me alone in the middle of a battlefield. [Like not having a rain induced panic attack, stuff like that.
As for Crow's answer?]
No. [It's pretty much immediate. Not happening.] I might be insufferable, but I'm not a liar.
Glad to hear you have something that works for you. But pretending you're something you're not just isn't worth it after a while, in my opinion.
[Not lying, especially about who you are, is a thought so utterly foreign that it barely even computes for Crow. But he shrugs loosely at that response. ]
Suit yourself. You've gotta do what works for you.

[ He doesn't address the rest because he's too distracted by this notion. ]

[...Ah. Wait.]
... Right. You meant the kind around here.
[god he hates this place sometimes
He just.
Awkwardly gestures at the chemical scars against the visible skin of his neck and face. Take a guess, smartie.]

Damn, sounds like there's some real shit going on where you're from.
[ But back on topic, Crow leans in and speaks in a stage-whisper, careful not to actually get in Lutha's space. ]
Wanna hear my secret, the way I deal when people are pissing me off?

no subject
Nah. I don't keep going if people don't wanna have a conversation. It's not my style. I'd be a hypocrite if I did.
no subject
[He huffs out a breath.]
...I don't care if you want to share something. You just don't need to be so coy about it. [It's distracting.]

I wouldn't say it works. It's just what I know.
But like hell I'd ever try what you suggested. I'd get shot.
