Not one of my friends has been spared it so far, why should you break the pattern? Actually, I'd say on average the more I like someone, the more I get upset with them.
In that case, you better hurry up and get angry with me. I'll start to think you don't care. [Dorian would never believe Judas doesn't care. Dorian is very self-assured on certain thinks, and that is one of them.]
Ahh, too bad, how will I ever respect you like that?
[Finally Judas realises how long he's been holding onto Dorian's hand. It seems so natural, after all.] Ah, sorry - [He lets go, dropping his hand back to his lap and taking a sip of wine.]
It's all about being undermining. [He shrugs.] I could probably find a way to do that with holding your hand though. It's a bit of a specialty of mine. So I guess I can hold your hand after all.
[Ah. Oscar. Judas doesn't say it, but it certainly crosses his mind. And for a split second, the injustice tugs at his brow.] It hasn't stopped you before, and much more I'm sure.
[Judas' eyebrows raise as he looks to the hand at his forehead. It's probably about time for jokes in poor taste, huh.] It seems you're more like me than you think. Or I'm more like you? Either way.
[His smile widens and he lowers his hands.] There is a world of difference between a rebel and a criminal. Regardless of how the law may see it. I am no collectivist, and do not tend towards coalition.
That sort of criminal activity is about the same level as mine. Threatening to the ideals. And look at you pulling me into your morally reprehensible lifestyle, what would the Pharisees say - as if they needed any other excuse to be against me.
It's more fun here, in the cities of the plain. Surprised they disliked you so at the end of it. You did sort of help them kill a guy they hated.
[It's like calling Judas traitor. Dorian knows these things linger on Judas's mind. Others would have Judas push it away, as if not saying it could stop him from feeling it.
[It's certainly something Judas appreciates. He hates when others treat him and the subject delicately. It's an insult to all involved. There's no point skirting any issue, much less such an obvious one.]
Well I still insulted them all the while. And tried to take it back. And committed suicide. Plus everything before that. Not exactly things they'd like much. It doesn't really matter if I did one thing that benefited them.
[Dorian could say that traitors are always left alone, but there is a far more fun, personalized attack to make.] On second thought, not that surprising. You're irritating and troublesome with everyone.

Dorian only half-reclaims his hand. He seems amused.] I don't mind. I enjoy it.

Actually, I should be asking that about both.

[Dorian lets go of Judas's hands, but only so he can rub at Judas's brow, as if he can push the furrowing away.] And the laws have changed. I'm free.

Dorian knows better. And so he says it out loud.]
