[ John doesn't say "maybe even a friend". He doesn't have friends. Just that he likes seeing Joss smile. Just that it's enjoyable when he makes Fusco jump. People he holds at arms length. It's not that he trusts Carver all that much, he's very realistic about the man, but he wants Carver to trust him, even just a little. He wants Carver to see there's any good left in the world. ]
