∞ 62: Quietly conducting business [voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

[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.

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.

[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.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

As I have also said, I prefer my privacy. And what else did I say? There is nothing about me of import to know that can't be seen if you're observant.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

Do you even understand why I'm insulted?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

I have a feeling you will tell me either way.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

How about you tell me.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

You're angry because you feel as if I am somehow secrets from you, while in fact you have been far too absorbed in your own issues. There is a difference between someone withholding information and simply not broadcasting their life story.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

You're the one who chooses to focus on my issues. Sometimes it can't be helped, but others, you seem to always find a way to deliberately redirect the conversation so that you avoid discussing nearly anything of a personal nature if it comes up. Even dragging an opinion out of you takes an awful lot of concentrated effort.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

I am a very business-oriented person, Professor. [Spoken plainly, like one might if they were declaring the obvious.]

[action]

[wise_maiden]

You don't allow yourself to be anything else.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Correct.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

You can't keep that up.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

I know that. There normally is no need beyond a certain point.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

... Heh. But you insist on being frustrating, at every turn.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

As much as possible, I do not mix business with other matters, Professor.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

But where is the line drawn? That is the question.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Living together is already pushing it.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

It's better than living alone.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

That is your opinion.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

I'm well aware of that. [A sigh.]

I suppose we should be going.
