[It's because he loves his wife and wants to make sure she has people in the end in case something actually happens to him, but he knows better than to say so out loud. Instead, he lets his tail swish in idle amusement as he listens, nodding along with that list. There's a light grin at the mention of Wei Wuxian and Nikkari, and Grune as well. Kagachi makes sense and he makes a bit of a face at the mention of Zero but he can't fault her for that.
Though he gives a curious look when she stops on Higekiri. It would only be fair to reciprocate such a list though, and he pauses.]
Are you asking who I'm fond of here? [Hah. Well...] You, obviously. Beck is probably the best friend I have here...I'd do just about anything for her. Wei Wuxian knows all of the ways to help me untangle the Gordian knot of my thoughts and Nikkari's...very important to me, too. He's loyal, I don't know what would happen if he wasn't around. Sometimes he makes me feel better even when I really would prefer to be miserable. [There's a light smile, like it's a joke, but woof.] I respect Haymitch and Edelgard even though I keep making myself look like a jackass around both of them. Kagachi, too.
Higekiri knows a lot of my secrets and how to get under my skin enough to talk to him. And...[Here, he pauses, because he's not sure how to phrase it.] I don't know where I'd be without Dick. Even if he doesn't think so.
[Yeah Tamamo would have ten fits if he voiced any of what he's thinking. A wise man indeed. And likewise, Tamamo listens to his list without comment, ears giving a little twitch all the while. For someone who swears she's easily moved by jealousy, she seems pleased that Junpei has made as many connections as he has. Hearing about Higekiri even gets a chuckle out of her.
... That pause, though. Tamamo's lips purse into a pout]
Dick-san, huh...
[Hm]
Well, you two are roommates. And he is certainly one of the more productive members on this ship. [The compliments are so, so grudging]
[oh she has no problems putting Dick on blast, though she'll try and temper her opinions. A little. Maybe]
More that it is a rare thing for me to be fond of a human while also wishing they'd be silent at all times. His morals can be grating for a creature such as I.
[Tamamo is neutral/chaotic evil, of course Dick is going to drive her up the walls sometimes]
[Yeah, he can guess that and it's why he laughs under his breath.]
Superheroes are like that. They want to do the right thing constantly because it's what they're trained to do. Doesn't help that he's really stubborn. [Said the pot about the kettle.] But sometimes I think I understand you a little more than I understand him.
[Sometimes it's the other way around. Depends on the subject, but he's just here to appease her right now.]
Trust me, it is. [Doing the right thing is ultimately always the answer but he won't lie and say it's not tiring on its own.] I'd prefer to see both of you alive at the end of this so yeah. I would appreciate that. You're both really important to me. That's all.

Doing the right thing, huh? It sounds exhausting~
[Tamamo plz]
Regardless, if you are fond of him, then I do not mind playing nice. He and I already have an understanding.
