[ Trust can mean a lot of things, after all. It can mean assistance, or it can be information, or it can mean any number of other things. If a person is willing to barter and maintain that kind of cold, calculated relationship, then that makes them easier to deal with in the long run. It's what he likes about Inaba - there's no need to invest, but they can utilize each other's talents, and that makes it easier for both of them. ]
Guess I'll try catching up next time I see him int he nurse's office. I'm around there enough now. And if he's too annoying, I can see if I can get something useful out of bashing his face against the nearest surface, ahaha~
[ Which would not be breaking his arm! He was planning on doing that, but he supposes there's no need if Komaeda already did so. He assumes he had if he's bringing it up. ]
