[This is his first and maybe only video post. He's not in his room, though. He doesn't like you people that much. Instead, he's sitting up on deck, watching the stars. There's a rare smile on his face, as he's excited about what's coming. Not now...but soon. Very soon.]

Just one 'asinine' question. What do you need it for?

Nice speech by the way. I thought those only happened on Sunday.

Private;

[im_notspecial]

To mend my clothes.

And, as I'm sure you recall, I was a ten year old boy on Sunday.

Private;

[grahamcommawill]

I could ask the Admiral for new clothes for you.

Yes, I remember. [Oh hi there pink elephant.] I'm sure everyone missed their weekly lesson.

Private;

[im_notspecial]

No.

I can do it myself, without his help.

Private;

[grahamcommawill]

That's not the point and you know it.

Private;

[im_notspecial]

Yes, Will. It is the point. What value do our clothes have, then, if we can simply ask for more when they acquire holes?

I am not so prideful nor slothful enough for that.

[grahamcommawill]

A needle is a weapon. That's the point.

Private;

[im_notspecial]

A weapon.

Will, please.

[Thoughtful pause is thoughtful.] How much mending can you get done in a day?

Private;

[im_notspecial]

As much as I need.

Private;

[grahamcommawill]

Good. Then you can use the needle tomorrow. I expect it returned by the end of the day. I hear any reports it was used against someone and no more mending for you.

Private;

[im_notspecial]

Thank you, Will. I appreciate it.

Private;

[grahamcommawill]

So. Learn anything new while being a kid?

Private;

[im_notspecial]

[Sigh.]

What do I get for answering your questions?

Private;

[grahamcommawill]

How about the joy of talking with your warden and the eventual hope you might graduate from here?

Private;

[im_notspecial]

You can do better than that.
