Dwight, I’m not scared…don’t be silly.
[A lie and truth, knowing that it needs to happen but at the same time paranoid that the results are going to be bad with how terrible he treated his body. And with all the badly healed injuries he had gotten over the years. Some were~~

I mean, not entirely? But now that I’ve mentioned it you’re not going to let me avoid the responsibility of going. And it’ll have to be done some time later since going after I’ve just smoked a cigarette is probably not the most ideal thing.

possibly of what the results of everything would be. Taking another drag from the cigarette, he blew the smoke up into the air.]

it doesn’t like. Or it just happens. Someday getting it checked out is on the list but we’ve been so busy lately that it never really crossed my mind to do it.
[Among other bad habits that Dwight probably doesn’t know about but that’s for a later time.]
Fair enough. I started smoking when I was a teenager so I’ve been at it for a while. Hopefully keeping the filter on can lessen the intake of nicotine and put less strain on my organs. Which pretty sure you’ve noticed since it tends to become pretty whack whenever I do something~

I mean, if I go towards the route of quitting smoking, it’s probably not gonna be cold turkey. Not that I think I’m incapable of it, it’s probably better to take wean myself off it than just stopping altogether.
[At least that would be one of his habits stopped for the time~~

Don’t think I could ever actually be annoyed with you. So is you smoking an occasional thing? Like every once in a while you decide you want that nicotine hit? No complaints~
to worry about you getting a high dose of nicotine and chemicals. Perhaps cutting the habit of smoking without the filters would do me some good. At the cost of maybe having to smoke a little bit more for a while before my body adjusts to a lesser dose.
[Nose scrunching up slightly, he took one more drag of his unfiltered cigarette before putting it out and took out another, lighting it up and took a drag before offering it to the other with a smile.]

thought a light hum came out. Pretty sure his lungs took the brunt of it though the heart also was affected by it.]
You want a filtered cigarette? I’m not gonna let you take a drag from mine it’ll make you feel ill.
Pretty sure if I kept the filter in I’d have to chain smoke to get the same effect as if I got it all in one cigarette without it. Not that my heart needs back to back cigarettes..

I swear at one point you did get on my ass about it smoking in general and not just because I took out the filter..
[He could’ve been imagining it but out of habit, filter was taken out and lighter was taken out of his pocket.]
Might’ve been someone else I’m thinking of that~~
﹙ at the mere mention of just such a thing again、dwight furrowed his brows at jed. surely he didn't mean that back - handedly、it sounded genuine enough、but he felt like the point was highlighted in yellow and as obvious as it ━
You never did strike me as someone who would smoke. Since you tend to get on my ass about it..and removing the filters.
[Pulling out his pack of cigarettes and offered him one.]
not really sure why everyone gives me some type of a 'look' whenever i ask to bum a cigarette off of them... i obviously haven't made a habit out of smoking、but i can still smoke some times if i feel like it﹖ i'm a grown ass man﹖
