And that's why, along with snark and banter and pushing, Scott talks to Chris. He doesn't already know things, he doesn't have expectations, he won't demand 'emotional output', and he'll let Scott back away.
He's coming to really like the guy, and that's a strange kind of relief.
He'll probably blow things up at some point, but for now- it's nice.
"So which was the harder part - being dead, coming back, or dealing with everyone else's reaction to it?" He doesn't 'soften' a lot in a typical way, but there's no edge there, and it's not a demand. It's just a question, with an undercurrent of concern, running along side the curiosity about Chris.
