That would be difficult given your... situation.

Don't remind me.

It needed to be said. Hopefully you'll find a way to coexist.

To be quite honest I was working towards that. Coexistence. But I'm starting to think that it's a complete waste of time.

It isn't. It takes work, of course. But anything worthwhile does.

Out of curiosity, how thick do you think I am to not know something of that nature?
The question is truly is it worthwhile or not? An answer which I do not have.

In light of keeping this conversation civil, I won't answer that first question. As far as your second question, usually when you have to question whether something might be worth it, it probably isn't. You should be able to have a reason why it could be worth it from the get go to expend your energy toward it. There's gotta be an endgame, a goal to reach for. Otherwise, you are wasting your time.

Probably a good idea. Truthfully I'm so beyond 'not in the mood' it's not funny.
Exactly. I've got my answer. I've spent a lot of time and energy as of late trying to integrate and coexist. I'm not so sure I have a reason anymore so the grand question is; why am I still wasting energy trying? To which I don't have an answer anymore. I'm too old for this. Honestly. I'm far too old for all of this.

Maybe you're trying to integrate and coexist into the wrong things. Trust me on this one, it happens.

Yeah and what sort of experience do you have in the subject?

[His grin is perfectly mischievous albeit brief as he shakes his head.] I think I'd rather not give you any ammunition to use against me. But I will tell you that I've learned that it's never too late to integrate yourself into something new whether it's an idea or a group of people. It also seems to me that you cooled your heels too long in Primatech to not wanna expend your energy on something. So if you're done with something, all you have to do is reevaluate, re-prioritize and start something new.

And just what do you think I'd do with such ammunition? I'm not sure if you know this but I'm not remotely interested in anything to do with you or your family Petrelli.

Heh. Again it's one of those things that is easily discussed and not so easily implemented. The only thing I want to put my energy into right now is the same thing that got me locked away in the first place. People don't change. I'm realising this now. Every single disgusting human is the same as the last. The world would be better with the filth out of the picture.

Good. Then you'll keep away from my brother.

It wouldn't be so hard to implement if you picked a more viable option to focus on than playing God.

I've already drained Peter of his usefulness. I have no interest in whatever he's doing now.

Assuming it's not viable.

I've already told you I'm not about to. Even despite it feeling like quite a brilliant option right now.

Are you dying?

[This amuses him ever so slightly.]

Not quite.

Then how can you be finished with people?

Do I even need to ask?
