oh ok, because that's not what you said at all...it wouldn't make sense for to consider any of that as town. there's only two things to consider from my pov regarding ur statement saying ud rather go barry and said u didnt want to lose my potential skill:
1 - that's simply you're factual feelings on the matter
2 - you know im town and rather not look bad off my flip.
hell i'll go further in my logc. 2 seems unlikely to me because even if you did hop on now, you wouldn't necessarily look bad. you openly saying you rather go the other way and me flipping town also makes you look bad. but you did that anyways, which points to you probably not giving a shit about perception. which is good.
