"Ey there, partner." He emphasized the last word, appearing to show some disdain in using that word. "Got something ya wanna talk to me?"
"Yes, actually. I've been meaning to-" the thunk of the knife hitting the wall beside him stops you from completing your sentence.
"Look 'ere. I might have gotten mad with you before, and I forgave you then. Sometimes I just see the wrong thing, sometimes I'm just plain stupid, and assume one thing for somethin' else. The shit Guts did was no mistake, and if he dares to show his face up here again, I'm shoving this fucking cannon right up his ass and I'mma keep firing until I see him eating his own damn guts!"
"Hyde... I know what Guts did wasn't right, but-"
"I ain't hearing shit from ya. You talk like I don't forgive people! I'd forgive you if you stepped on my foot, knocked my food over, hell even if you order me to do something risky, I'm all for it! It's what I signed up and trained for! Who I don't want to get along is with this bumbling retard who can't tell friend from foe!"
"Did you see the look in his eyes when he struck a blow against Violet? He wasn't glaring at me, or even mad. He was smiling like the fucking freak that he is!"
You open your mouth to attempt to defend the swordsman, but even if you give Guts the benefit of the doubt and say the beast of darkness was responsible, it's still his duty to keep his sanity in check, and no one should be taking the heat from his irresponsibility.
"Mind ya, this was all cause we were TRYING to help that motherfucker! If I didn't know to tilt Violet sideways, it would have been her neck! Imagine if someone did that to your girl! Would ya be fine with it?"
You have no reply, the thought of Guts slicing Farnese in two is something you don't even want to consider, even if it's very likely if you stick with him.
"I'm sorry..."
"I ain't asking you for an apology, partner, at the very least, he should have said something to me when he left, or at least to Violet, and he didn't! He doesn't give a shit! And I don't see a reason to look for 'im when he could just show up one day and kill all of us. For a guy obsessed with demons, he sure doesn't mind making enemies. Ask anyone from our group, and they sure ain't takin 'im on our ride! He's a liability!"
Hyde makes it look like it's either going to be him or Guts, if you do choose to invite him to your union.
>We couldn't kill him now even if we tried to, it's best not to provoke him either.>I won't ask him to join if the majority vote against it, and even then, it's up to Guts.>His strength is best on our side than on the enemy's, if he does that again though, I'll take responsibility and end his life.>Write-in.
