Oh I agree with everything you say there.
But now he's been offered or told he has a better chance now hasn't he? I think that's right, and he still wants to go?
I don't begrudge him for being pissed in the least. But if he's not happy and holding a grudge I doubt it's going to work out...
Fuck him then, if he doesn't want to be a Leaf, move him.
After letting him sit and stew while waiting for a decent return of course.
I mean, I like the guy and all, but if he doesn't want to be here then I don't want him to be here either.
