[The obvious answer, as far as Kimblee is concerned, is "I don't need to explain myself to you." He bites it back; that's never what anyone wants to hear at moments like this, even though it's true.
Perhaps especially because it's true. Who knows? Kimblee has never had a good grasp on things like this; he knows the basics through experience - his own string of unregrettably failed relationships before Ishval - and through watching the others, back when they were on leave from the academy or returned home from a military campaign. He's learned how to act; he still can't say that he understands.]
