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.

[myagents]

Oh, he does. He just happens to use different methods for different people, because everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. Besides, this is what I am here for, covering the areas which he is not able to handle alone.

[a_shadow]

I suppose that makes sense.

What do you do when you're not covering his mistakes, I wonder?

[myagents]

Nothing much, I must admit. I hardly ever get free time.

[a_shadow]

That was a pretty good burn

I wonder what kind of trouble you'd be in if you repeated it to him

[myagents]

My previous message was not meant to be a 'burn'. It was a factual statement completely unrelated to my opinion of the Director's ability on the job. I assure you I respect and admire my superiors.

[a_shadow]

Yeah, yeah. I didn't know you were a kiss-ass

[myagents]

I am sorry to hear that you view obedience as a negative trait. We will grant you some more time to dedicate to recreational activities to boost your morale, if needed.

[a_shadow]

Sure. Don't think I don't see through what you're doing, though

[myagents]

I am sorry, Agent Texas, I have no idea what you are referring to.

[a_shadow]

Of course not.

I just know I have privileges the others don't.
