I would gain greater satisfaction from an orange peel.
[Coincidental turn of phrase, truly.
Unlike Jeremiah, who looks liable to overheat at any moment, McGillis demonstrates admirable temperament. Beyond cracking wise, he seems genuinely interested in the contents of Jeremiah's card. While still irritated, it wasn't as if that initial attraction had faded. And he had been just as irritated with Gaelio at the beginning, masquerading as Vidar, and now...
Well, Jeremiah was no masked man, that's for damn sure. But it stands to reason that maybe, just maybe, he deserves a second chance. As Jeremiah scrolls through the options and lands on another square, McGillis has to laugh—and this time it isn't at his expense. He really couldn't escape that kind of fate, not with Vidar, not with Jeremiah, and not with anyone else. At least he could be proud of such a talent, far more useful here than back home.]
Is that what you want...?
[No, Jeremiah, it's not hard. Quite the opposite.]

Fair warning, I will ruin you for anyone else.
