Oh... well... he summoned me. Properly, I mean, not like Qri did! So I guess if he ordered me around, I'd have to listen...
[that's an uncomfortable thought on several levels; Geir's tail twitches restlessly. it's true, of course, and it's also true that Vern hasn't used that capability much, and even more true that Geir is perfectly aware that Vern wants him to change and become someone who won't just follow orders, even if Vern himself (very) occasionally issues them. it's a problem he sometimes despairs of picking his way through.]
...he doesn't, though. When he summoned me, mostly, I just really wanted him to like me. So I kept asking him questions.
[he shifts again, unfolding a wing enough that it covers his nose so he can look earnestly over the top of it at Alphonse. his voice has a hint of wistfulness in it.]
I don't disagree that Qri should do things differently. I want to ask her questions too...
