∞ 62: Quietly conducting business [voice]

[Locked to Vyse, Yuri Lowell, Sigmund, Raine, Yuan]

Vyse. Mr. Lowell. Sir Sigmund. May I ask how your group rosters are looking at this time? It's been awhile since I've inquired about this.

And we should consider meeting in person. As soon as is practical to gather everyone.

/locked


I believe the experiment is over now. And not a moment too soon; the practical jokes were going stale.

And there are still New Feathers arriving... Hm.

Whether it does or doesn't isn't the point. You're doing it again.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Why do you need to know more about me, Professor? Will it somehow change any opinion of what you've seen in the past year?

[action]

[wise_maiden]

Is there something wrong with wanting to know more about the person who's been -- looking after me all this time? I understand if there are certain things you'd rather not share. But that still leaves a bit left, doesn't it?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

There really isn't anything of import to know that you can't see if you are observant.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

And yet you say we aren't close. [She takes a step.]

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[dryly] Do you want to make a scene, Professor?

[action]

[wise_maiden]

You're not getting out of this so easily this time. We can discuss it somewhere privately if you prefer.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

We have a meeting to get to, unless you've lost track of your priorities.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

[A few more steps.] If you didn't insist on being difficult, we wouldn't lose so much time.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

How am I being difficult? You brought up this topic and refuse to move from it.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

The topic never gets resolved.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

The resolution is thus: This topic should never have been breached to begin with.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

Are you that desperate to hide yourself that you feel the need to hide it with a command?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Do I look particularly desperate to you, Professor? I simply don't see the point.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

You hide things well, so of course you wouldn't look it.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

And what is with this sudden desire to know more about me? I thought that what transpired during the experiment would have no bearing on our dynamic.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

... This has nothing to do with the experiment. It's something that's been on my mind for a while now. Caesar returning just gave me an opening. Or do you forget the night on the roof.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Is that a scoff? I think it is.] Are we to discuss fate here, then? Is that it?

[action]

[wise_maiden]

Oh honestly. Now you're just being even more ridiculous.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

And you are harping on something that has no bearing on anything, Professor. What is the point of your asking?

[action]

[wise_maiden]

I already told you the point. Or does that need repeating as well?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

As I have already said, I don't see the point in your asking.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

Why should there be one?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Because, Professor, unless you have lost all logic in you, there is a point to everything. And you are doing your own intentions a disservice by not explaining yourself.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

I have not. I suppose the point is more for my benefit than for yours. You know an awful lot about me. If you had any reasoning beyond "not seeing a point to it", then I'd like to hear it. Something a little less insulting, perhaps, if you can manage it.
