[on one side of the mess hall, there is a very grumpy counselor sitting in a large chair. A couple of smaller, currently empty chairs are facing him. there is also a large sign hanging behind him:

[POOF'D BY CAMP pen in one hand and a cup of tea in the other. . . swallowing his sip down while glancing at the sign]

Should those two really be together?

Apparently camp thinks it's hilarious to come up with as many ways to torture me as possible.

I don't think you should be helping people with this.

I don't need you to tell me what I should and shouldn't be doing. I don't particularly care to discuss people's life problems, but at the moment, I apparently have no choice.

It looks like you have a choice to get up and leave, so why don't you take it and get out of my sight?

I'd like to, but I'd also like to make sure you don't treat anyone too poorly.

From the sounds of it, most of these people need some strong words to toughen up, and far be it from me to pass up any opportunity to grow stronger.

It isn't for your benefit, you realize.

I don't think camp intended this to benefit anyone.

Of course not, but there's no point in making it worse.

I wouldn't say I'm making it worse. I'm merely expressing my opinion on the matter.

Yes, but a few strong words might not help. This is a fairly serious topic that runs deep with anyone who is subjected to it. They need empathy more than strength.

Camp should've picked someone else to perform this duty, then.

Yes, it chose you. And since it's making you fulfill your duties then you should try to do right by it and not make it worse.

Camp chose me out of spite--I have never empathized with the majority of this camp population, and I don't plan on starting, either!
