You know what you absolutely do not want to hear? The first thoughts of someone very, very judgmental and arrogant, even if he isn't so much anymore, those first thoughts are pretty deeply ingrained in there... even if it's not what he personally believed anymore or was just an inkling at the back of his mind, you're getting pure and unfiltered jerk Trip today.

Hey, maybe you'll luck out and he'll also admit sweeter sentiments than he would normally. As it stands, Trip's mortified enough to quite literally tape his mouth shut. He's just scared of bruising himself with it and kind of holding the roll of tape out with an uncertain look.
