[ no reaction. tone flat; wry ]

No one ever does.

[ she hangs up and sends this via text. ]

Then let me ask this and I'll leave you alone. Are you angry enough about being here that you plan to act violently in the next 30 days? If so, be aware that retaliatory murder may be possible and since you are opting out of this pairing I can leave you dead until your next temp pairing.

To confirm, press 1.

[He doesn't reply, not with a '1' or otherwise. Looks like a mind game, and he's not playing.]

[iwasrussian]

Your confirmation has been received. Thank you.

[reargunner]

Easy as that huh.

You sure you're a warden.

[iwasrussian]

I ask myself the same question more often then you'd think. And yes, it's that easy. We're not permanently assigned and we don't have to talk, which you made abundantly clear that you don't want to do.

I'm not in the business of force. Stay mad at the Admiral for that.

[reargunner]

Already got a step up on the last bozo that I got stuck with.

[iwasrussian]

You, too. For being straight up honest.

Who was that, by the way?

[reargunner]

Called himself 'Jesus'.

Pain in the ass.

[iwasrussian]

I've seen him around. He looks like the kind of guy who thinks he's being helpful. How was he pushy?

[reargunner]

Why's it matter to you?

[So he's responding, sure, but still keeping his guard up.]

[iwasrussian]

Are you seriously being suspicious of me asking how he was being pushy?

[reargunner]

You seriously asking me why I might be suspicious of your motives for asking?

[iwasrussian]

Then why continue the conversation in the first place if questions aren't allowed to be asked?

[reargunner]

It won't be continuing if you're gonna put words in my mouth.

[iwasrussian]

I could say the same thing about you assuming I have motives.

[reargunner]

Everyone has motives.

[iwasrussian]

I have no reason to push you into doing anything. I've been controlled enough in my lifetime to know that's not something I want to do to others.

[reargunner]

So just move on from the question. Why does it matter so much anyway.

[iwasrussian]

You tell me. You wanted to know why I was asking.

[reargunner]

And you're the one who's still avoiding answering that.

[iwasrussian]

It doesn't matter.

Neither does carrying on this conversation. Good luck.

[ They're talking in circles and that annoys her.

Anything further is left on read. ]
