[Jeremy isn't expecting this, though he couldn't articulate why if you asked him. Is this a good idea? L keeps saying deliberately inflammatory things, and if he and Rich don't get along, Jeremy isn't confident that he can act as a buffer.
But there's gotta be a reason that Rich is offering this instead of calling L a cab (or whatever).
The better part of Jeremy wants to smile and agree and say they should all get a bite to eat and sober up and give L the benefit of the doubt, but that feels downright stupid at this point. L's got a bully mentality. That's all Jeremy knows about his personality and maybe that's enough.]
Um...
[He should say something. They're all SQUIPtims here, even if L's not necessarily reformed yet.]
...It's not everything. It's not the whole world. People aren't always as awful as it makes you think they are.
[It's out of context and weird when he says it, but what the hell--that's basically Jeremy's existence. He turns away from L. That can be a good-bye if L wants it to be.]
