[Guzma mutters a quiet "I would" under his breath, but doesn't press that part of their little conversation. In fact, he lifts his head a little with a raised brow when Muffet admits she's fond of him. He actually looks a bit surprised, like he hasn't heard anything of the sort in a long time. Sure, people tolerate him; maybe even respect his strength and his authority, his infamy...but no one actually likes him. What the hell is there to like?
He's a violent, angry, mean-spirited thug. There is absolutely nothing likable about him. And yet here he is, witnessing someone actually say it out loud. Even offhanded. It's what gets Guzma to actually pay attention to what Muffet says, and not ignore her a few seconds in. However, to answer her questions.]
Not many, no. Not when I'm wound up, anyway. [They plain and simple know better. When the bull is charging, you simply hope to god you're not in his path. Even Plumeria would come to him after he's raised hell and calmed down to tell him he's an ass.]
Mmh...so. [He chuckles, darkly, shaking his head. Here we go again. Here we go again.] I'm only good so long as I don't do nothing bad? So long as I fall in line, huh? So long as I don't become a problem? Until I start being the big bad boss I always been, but y'all never seen yet...I'm likable?
Well, y'all should just abandon me now, 'cuz I gotta say...I make things physical a heck of a lotta times when people cross'a line with me, yo. S'all I know, and I don't plan on changing how I do my thing, yeah? So you got a choice to stick with my sorry rear end and how I deal with matters, of you can sellout. Won't be mad...just bummed.
[He shrugs lazily, and ignores the latter comment. You didn't save him, woman. His pokemon would have probably beheaded that idiot if Guzma didn't step in and stop Golisopod and keep him from getting hurt. And not only that, but if he did die...he'd be proving a point--
That Jaune is just as much a violent, thoughtless thug as he is. Perhaps lower even.]
