Not a whole bunch, no. Hyperion wasn't very big on the whole "positive reinforcement" side of things. Neither was Pandora.

[ OR HIS FRIENDS FOR THAT MATTER but then they all started off as sub-par human beings to begin with, so. They got better? Vaughn got better. Rhys tried. ]

[quevalry]

Man, what a lame place! Positive reinforcement is good for everyone, it actually really helps keep people motivated.

[ It sure keeps her going and helps her believe in herself. You've had a rough life, Rhys. ]

[rhygret]

Yeah...usually if someone was giving you positive feedback back home it meant that they were going to take you out the next day. Or had already managed to screw you over. "Nice" wasn't a very popular personality type on Helios.

[ he's had such a hard like Lena :c no one understands how badly he craves approval ]

[quevalry]

So... how did you turn out pretty decent? [ she's just curious! rhys doesn't come across as the type to do any of that. but, this is because she doesn't know him all that well. ]

If you don't mind me asking.

[rhygret]

I don't know if I'm "pretty decent" but I'd like to think I'm at least not the bad guy anymore.

[ Because yeah, he did start out playing for their team. Like...a lot. Maybe he even idolized a tyrannical megalomaniac for a bit there too. ]

I haven't always been the way I am now. I was pretty awful before the whole...alien treasure adventure. I'm still not sure I'm that great?

[quevalry]

Well, I wouldn't befriend the bad guys. [ She shuffles her feet a little because that's generally true. ] So ... you're not the greatest guy around, but you're not the worst.

You're a good guy. Right smack bam in the middle.

[rhygret]

You know, I will take that. I'd rather be in the middle ground than towards the other end of that. It's...I've seen what people do when they're on that end of things. So I'm trying to be better than that these days.

[ He doesn't always succeed, but the fact that he tries now instead of just sulking and getting haircuts is progress right? ]

[quevalry]

I'm here to give you a hand if you ever need it, or for someone to pull you back if you start to stray. [ Lena gives Rhys a friendly wink. ]

And, I'm buying you the drink. A way to say sorry and thanks for being a real pal.

[rhygret]

[ Oh no...no that's so sweet of her? Rhys can't help but start to smile a little dopily, bringing a hand up to rub the back of his head. ]

Well...I mean, thanks? Heh. This is going to sound preeetty pathetic but I don't hear stuff like that a lot.

[quevalry]

I'unno how it's pathetic given what you told me about yourself. But, I do hope you get to hear it a lot more.

[ She flashes him a wink as the approach the drink stand. ] Ready to order when you are.
