"I don't know. I think maybe more than that. Different, anyway." A strange category that Sam had somehow fallen into without Barty intending it. "Originally I just found him irritating, if entertaining." Always fussing around, always mumbling as he talked to himself, usually agitated about something and always so very straight. Well. In some senses of the word. "I think he fancies me. It always muddles the waters a little when someone fancies you."

Feelings in there, real feelings. Made it all more difficult to deal with. "Giac likes annoying him, so now I end up in the middle sometimes. Still irritating."
