It took Eridan a few moments to parse what Gamzee was saying. Then he nodded and reached over to his silver cigarette case and grabbed one, handing it over before simply snapping his fingers and producing a flame between them, holding it up for Gamzee. "You're human. No human I'vve met has the capabilities a bein' so evvil as any givven troll. That's not to say I underestimate a human's ability to be malevvolent, but the chances a you gettin' up to shit like your other selvves' havve done? Slim to none, I'd say. That, an' for howw he only can speak the wworld a you, I'd say you're better than the majority, too." He blew out the flame and bowed his head.

"Besides, I can differentiate betwween one vversion a somebody an' another. You're not the Gam I greww up wwith. Might be a Makara, but you havven't slighted me personally, so unless an' until you do, wwe're good."
