...it's because this whole thing? Graduation? Is about what's going on inside you. It's not about how good you act or how well you behave. We've had rat bastards who graduated in a year and talented people who haven't caused a single problem take several. If you just wanted to smile and work the time away while absolutely nothing changed inside, you're on the wrong ship, I'm afraid.

Neither you nor I can get very good information on how to proceed from old data, inexact data, or lies. So we can go over the journal together and figure out more about what to do.

Make more sense?

[untiltheend]

...It does, yes. Although I will say: I do not tell lies, ever.

[That's a compulsive statement. From a person who's living under an assumed identity and name, yes.]

[epistemological]

Unless one counts lies of omission, avoidance, and talking around the question.

[untiltheend]

All of those are examples of working around having to outright lie, sir. With all due respect.

[epistemological]

And with all due respect, none of those will help with this process.

I'm not going to ask you to tell me everything and anything: we're not permanently paired. But if you would prefer not to answer something, I would prefer you simply say so. Consider that my standing preference.

[untiltheend]

I will keep your preferences in mind, sir. [And then ignore them.

Although... hrm.] Is that to say that a permanent Warden can request absolute transparency from their Inmate?

[epistemological]

Obviously, given how many times you've called me 'sir'.

[ Very very dry. ]

And of course they can, though just as obviously the inmate can tell them to fuck off.

I only meant that such a request could seem presumptuous given how short our association and that you may end up with someone else next month.

[untiltheend]

[In response to the first part, Sebastian just smiles wider. Like the passive-aggressive little bitch he is.






As for the second:] My apologies for not knowing the exact conditions of permanently paired Wardens and Inmates, obvious though they might be. But I am sure no one would want any presumptuousness, no.

[Like, for example, one person calling another a fussy toddler.]

[epistemological]

[ That would be presumptuous, had he done as such, but given that it was both a simile and only an option given on how one might choose to proceed as opposed to a descriptor used directly on Sebastian by Jon, perhaps the offense you feel has something to do with an unpleasant realization that is all you, Sebastian.

:)]

If you have any other questions or concerns about this place or how wardens and inmates work, please don't hesitate to ask.

[untiltheend]

[Impossible! You can't have unpleasant realisations about yourself when you already know everything about yourself. Check and mate.]

Thank you, sir. Have you other assignments for me for now? I am perfectly capable of multitasking if needed.

[If you do 5000 homework assignments on personal growth in one day, you can graduate the next morning?]

[epistemological]

No, as I'd prefer you put your full focus here.

Now: is there anything you might need from me?

[untiltheend]

[As if Sebastian can't fully focus on multiple things at once. As if he's human.]

As you say. [He stands up, as today's session seems to be drawing to a close.]

And thank you, but no; I have no material needs. [He went and magic'd himself an entire wardrobe full of weapons, but no one but his bff needs to know that.]

[epistemological]

As I assumed. I won't take up any more of your time, then. Please feel free to call on me for questions or assistance at any time, day or night.

[untiltheend]

Thank you kindly, sir.

[He gives a formal bow.]

Do have a good day. Until next time.

[And he walks out of the room. He hates you already, Jon.]

[epistemological]

[ He's noticed. And the feeling isn't mutual but he's certainly not bending for you, Sebastian. ]

Good day to you, Sebastian. And good luck.
