Alright. [He takes a hand out of his pocket to rub at his jaw, thinking over what he can say here.
Now that Claude and Dimitri know about Chip's heritage, that's a step toward the others knowing - and Grant thinks they should, eventually. But despite it all, explaining outright without Chip there still feels wrong.
He drops his hand by his side.] So... when things go wrong, Chip tends to think of it as their fault. Even if it's something totally outside their control, like the Indeedee, or Sylvain falling asleep. They have their reasons for thinking like that, but... I'm not sure I can get into that in good conscience without their involvement.
The thing is, they also... tend to assume other people "know" things are their fault. And that they know the reasons they think that way. And, when they're really pushed, it... wouldn't be the first time they've lashed out to try and force those around them to act on... on what Chip is sure they already know. I think... that day, itself, ended up being that push.
