"Quieter alone." And he prefers working alone. Always has, always will, he figures. Every time here he's had to work with someone else he's found it irritating on some level, even when the others are genuinely helpful and often perfectly capable. It isn't that he thinks he's better than anyone or that others hold him back; he just really struggles with other people sometimes. Needs time away from them.

"Just get on with it." Or he'll regret letting Soldat help and will shove him aside to figure out how to do this on his own. He can find a mirror, and most of the other stitched scars around his body were his own work anyway.
