[He's so bored, he can't take it anymore. Asking for trouble, maybe, but there's all kinds of excitement he's missing with the new arrivals, and he's not used to missing out on it. He keeps the video feed off, unlike usual, because both his cell and he himself are a mess. His voice is only slightly hoarse, recovering from a first week in custody that was spent screaming.]

So what's the deal with all you new guys? Usually I do this in person but I'm, uh, a little tied up right now. Anyway, lemme hear it. Where you from? Whatcha usually get up to? How you feeling about being in this skanky shithole up on the moon?

Hope the rest of you guys didn't leave 'em starving.

[Oh great. She was hoping not to get dragged into all the arguing on this post.]

I asked Jesse what he thought. Would you be happier if had not?

[ensorceler]

If he thinks anything less of himself then it is only due to others constantly whispering the word into his ears as they would anyone else they might fear. Any confusion he suffers is by their hand.

[reassures]

I asked him a question. Is he incapable of answering it even if there were other circumstances he came to that conclusion under?

[ensorceler]

It is not a matter of him being incapable, but a matter of my wish to express my indignation at any one soul even needing to ask such a question. He says himself he does not know, so I answer in his stead.

Have you further issue with my interference?

[reassures]

I don't enjoy being treated as though I am accusing him of something.

Otherwise-- no.

[ensorceler]

[ Good, you weren't supposed to enjoy it, girl. Compare your five seconds of discomfort to Jesse's two weeks in jail. ]

Then it seems many are to suffer this Christmastide. I must pray for all hearts to be mended, and leave you to your conversation while offering my most humble apologies for speaking where I should not.

[ Sorry not sorry. /hairflip ]

[reassures]

I would accept your apology, but you don't sound very sincere.

[Nill's fairly certain "humble apologies" are very rarely humble or apologetic.]]

How long have you known Jesse?

[ensorceler]

I have made no sound for you to judge so poorly.

[ Really! Everything Anne said was perfectly polite...at least in the apology. ]

I have known him since being here. Is there reason for you to know?

[reassures]

You have been judging me since before you commented on what said. I believe given that, it's fair of me to make my own judgments as well.

[She noticed that avoidance though, and it told Nill everything she needed to know about Anne. Suddenly, she cares a lot less about this conversation.]

I suppose not.

[ensorceler]

Perhaps you are right, and I judged your implications where I ought not have, as it is no place of mine. Again, I leave you with my apologies.

[reassures]

Thank you.
