004. phone - event, stage 4
[Waver liked to think that he was a private person and would prefer for his personal life to remain outside of the public view.]
[Mayfield had other plans.]
I've never been kissed.
[Oh God why was he talking.]
I've never had a girlfriend-- or anything else, for that matter-- and I never really cared because all of that seemed like nothing more than a stupid distraction. It was far more important for me to focus on my studies and my theories rather than chase after girls. And I suppose I hardly have to even say that I've never had sex before and I don't understand why everyone is so bloody preoccupied with it. I suppose that, considering I am a magus, the process will have to occur eventually, but I really have no interest in the entire heir-making... procedure. It's ridiculous that so much emphasis is placed on pedigree by the Mages' Association, as though we are nothing more than bloody race horses. Not even so much as race horses, because at least even a horse of inferior breeding has the chance to prove itself on the track.
Why can't I stop talking? I really don't want to tell this to anyone and I wish I could just shut up but I can't stop and I hate this town.
[Can you hear him facepalming? Because he's facepalming at himself right now.]
[And now for something completely different.] I used to be mistaken for a girl often when I was a kid.
['Used to' implies that he still isn't. Even though he totally is.]
I'm going to hang up the phone now before I hideously embarrass myself any further.
