You're not raising my confidence in deciding to confide in you, just saying

[myagents]

Now now, don't you think that it would be inconvenient of me to depict myself in such way if I aimed to be dishonest?

[a_shadow]

That's true.

[ Just let her stew with that for a minute. ]

Still. I feel like you just told me you're into bloodplay, or something

[myagents]

Would it reassure you if I didn't disclose my affinity with bloodplay, then?

[a_shadow]

Your affinity or lack thereof

[myagents]

Right. Plus, even when I prescribe medication to agents, it is not me who performs the blood tests. I am only in charge to supervise when it comes to that, and to make sure we have a steady supply.

[So that I can finally have my midnight snack.]

[a_shadow]

Right...

Anyway the whole thing with the ex was a hypothetical.

[myagents]

I'm sure it was. Shame, I suppose, that in this ship it is not exactly easy to organize reunions of this kind.

[a_shadow]

It's for the best. He's an ex for a reason, after all

[myagents]

Agreed.

[Takes notes]

Thank you for this enlightenig conversation.

[a_shadow]

Sure. Just make sure this scenario doesn't end up in a textbook or something.

[myagents]

Of course. That would be very inconsiderate. Besides, the phenomena of having intercourse with an ex partner has been amply discussed by so many that it hardly needs me to include it in a textbook.

[a_shadow]

I was thinking more as a function of the psyche of a military agent or whatever, but good.

[myagents]

Oh, I see! I too have, on several occasions, gone on mission to gather the...Intel that we are discussing right now.

[a_shadow]

Oh.

I'm not sure I like that any better.

[myagents]

That is alright. Many people tend to feel uncomfortable when an authority figure gives information other than an order. It is a common belief among inexperienced soldiers that this is the best way to show compliance.

[a_shadow]

Are you calling me inexperienced? I've lost track of what we're talking about

[myagents]

Of course not, Agent Texas. Of all the agents we have, you are the last person we can refer to as inexperienced. After all, the Director has put you on number one spot for a reason.

[a_shadow]

Yeah, you'd better remember that, too

[myagents]

Of course. The Director likes to constantly remind me of it.

[a_shadow]

Does he?

Does he actually talk about me a lot?

[myagents]

As he should. You are the most valuable asset to our team.

[a_shadow]

Yeah, it's just kind of...weird. Like, he already spends tons of time with me as it is.

[myagents]

The Director's time is very precious. He cannot dedicate it to everyone, which is why he has to be selective. Him spending plenty of time with you means he's willing to give you more assignments, which means you are doing your job correctly.

[a_shadow]

That's good to know.

It's just weird. You'd think that he'd put some effort into making sure everyone else improves, too.
