[Private to Omega]

Do you have work to do right now?

[Private to Seven]

...Disappointed?

[Private to Rose]

I want to go the lab. And we need to talk.

Comments

[rass_bestie]

Nothing I can't put off.

[shortsghtedlove]

Then I'll come see you.

[rass_bestie]

I'll be waiting.

[shortsghtedlove]

[He's there three minutes later.]

[Private]

[love_dont_roam]

All right. I don't have a problem with that.

What d'you want to talk about?

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove]

Then bring me to it.

I realized that you have yet to give me an actual excuse for why you thought your behaviour was even remotely acceptable. And it seems I must at least be able to properly work with you.

[Private]

[love_dont_roam]

That's surprising, because I remember us talking this out rather thoroughly.

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove]

There was never an actual explanation. Your flimsy excuses were hardly sufficient and when I asked what sense it made to keep me in the infirmary even after the contract was made, you simply went on about how it isn't retroactive.

[Private]

[championoftime]

Yes. Disappointed.

[That's an odd thing to come back around to.]

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove]

Why?

[He's being angsty.]

[Private]

[championoftime]

You can't be disappointed in someone if you don't know that they can do better. But everyone expected you to be perfect, and you let yourself be convinced that you were. Incapable of error. So when you did err, when you do err, it's more frightening to you than the Eye gone supernova.

I never expected you to be perfect. And I'm disappointed that you were so terrified of letting everyone else down that you made enemies just to prove yourself better than them.

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove]

I didn't think I'm perfect! I don't think I'm perfect. And I'm not terrified by making mistakes. [I don't make any :|]

When did I do that? I only made enemies when they either tried to or did [or would have] harm my people or me.
