[ Marco just... stares at him. Because seriously? A party? That's his example? ]

Because this isn't a party. It isn't about wanting to feel included. I don't particularly care. If I offered my skills and they weren't useful, I'd gladly sit out. It's about handling a dangerous situation, and the least risky way to do that is to pool efforts and knowledge.

Different situations call for different priorities. A party is really not the same, man. I got over not being invited to parties a while ago.
