the lines that divide what he and habit are have been blurred beyond comprehension. vinnie knows that habit likes to fuck with him, just for fun. to dig under his skin and make playful little jabs that won't really hurt vinnie, but irritate him, or get him laughing along. he's become alarmingly proficient in brightening vinnie's spirits, and he supposes that was inevitable considering how long they've spent in such close quarters, but it doesn't make him any more comfortable with the idea that this monster of his has just decided that vinnie is someone worth cheering up. he won't pretend like he hates it, but he doesn't know if he likes it, either.
