[That feeling of surprise, sudden and soft, is a reassurance Guzma wasn't aware he needed. When did he start to give a shit about this kid? This stupid punk kid with too many emotions and too much bravado? He really shouldn't have to think too hard on it, honestly. He was the leader of a bunch of emotional teens with shitty attitudes, after all. He's got a weak spot, even if he wants to pretend he doesn't.]
Kid, I never believed your fronting from day one, I sure as fuck ain't believing it now.
[So, cut the shit, Blue. Ain't no one got time for your fragile ego. Maybe if Guzma wasn't busy dealing with this perpetual weariness from recovery he'd have more stamina in all of this. Maybe his annoyance would turn into a grudge, and he'd turn Blue away for slighting him.
Maybe after almost dying he's realized that he shouldn't squander the few things that make him feel somewhat good. Whatever the case, he seems to want to make amends. There's a genuine sort of feeling through the line, a strange sort to come from Big Bad Guzma, that's for sure.]

Gotta admit, your cooking was real good.
