Much better. [How could she even begin to detail just how much better things were. Walking around of her own free-will. Associating with the type of men Jack would have killed. In some ways, it's amusingly fitting that her first close friend was Krieg. The things Jack would have done to have kept the psycho from her.]
[It felt nice to defy him in every little way possible.]
[Not that Angel was friends with Krieg simply to spite her father. She enjoyed the nuances of his personality, word salad and all. It was so refreshing compared to the staunch doctors and the arrogance of her father.]
[Moreover, it was easy to tell just how much she meant to him. She'd spent enough time with him, both observing on Pandora and walking with him in Johto, that she was beginning to pick up on his emotional expression. She could hear the grimaces and the grins in the way he spoke, and could tell a furious glare from a focused look.]
[She wasn't perfect, by any means. There were still things that she didn't quite understand. But now, the meaning of it all couldn't have possibly been any clearer.]
I am glad you chose to come with us, Krieg. It is nice having a friend as good as you around.
