Somehow you've always struck me as one who wouldn't let a basis of familiarity hinder observations.

[cursed_analysis]

I'm not, but it is consider polite to acquire a sense of familiarity first.

[17thfreewill]

Typically it's an invasion on one's privacy if done without the familiarity. Yet, I have never met a scientist who has not broken the rule on certain occasions.

[cursed_analysis]

You wound me. It's a very serious accusation you make, and I should feel very ashamed if I were to not denounce your claim.

[17thfreewill]

Can you truthfully say that you have neither watched nor observed someone without their knowledge or permission?

[cursed_analysis]

Ah, Kaworu, in this we must make a foray into that which you also study; conversation and it's bearing and meaning.

I have rarely made my intentions unknown, but rather my listeners have often misunderstood me.

[17thfreewill]

I never stated that I study such a thing; it's within my nature to learn and adapt which is why I pay attention to how others act and react. Of course, that's not to say that i've never misled those around me, however I had a duty which required my identity to remain a secret.

The general belief is that scientists are meant to keep their intentions perfectly clear. Of course, you are one with words.

[cursed_analysis]

Well, I'm certain we all keep our secrets.

Ah, you flatter me~ I should hardly think so highly of myself.

[17thfreewill]

And yet somehow, within this situation, I have to wonder whose secrets are truly safe.

And yet, i'm certain that you hold yourself within a certain amount of praise.

[cursed_analysis]

What would cause such a thought?

I could not think so little of myself, as I would not be able to continue my studies otherwise.

[17thfreewill]

Loose lips would cause such a thought.

I suppose that is certainly one way to look upon things of that nature.

[cursed_analysis]

Certainly, there are loose lips among our crowd.

I must maintain a certain perspective on myself, if I were to lose self-confidence, I could not believe in my results enough to follow up. Likewise, if I was overconfident, I would hardly give thought to being wrong, and perhaps further delude myself.

[17thfreewill]

Some can be worse than others, and some hold a great deal more information.

And yet you seem to walk an incredibly thin line as it is, with your air it could be questioned as to whether you always completely stop when it's called for. Although, I suppose that science and studies would not further knowledge if they always stayed behind limitations.

[cursed_analysis]

A matter of picking out those of greatest value?

Perhaps it can be said so then. It is rather amusing in my opinion, and I would question how others perceived me.

[17thfreewill]

I'm sure that it's certainly something to that effect.

In this sense you would likely have no trouble in questioning each individual to find out your answer. Then again, that would likely only truly apply if you have engaged in detailed conversations.

[cursed_analysis]

Admittedly I haven't been up for talking with everyone as I usually am. Aster seems quite promising for an in-depth chat concerning "Fonons" as I've come across the term several times now. Even Enno is asking me what I know about them.
